  1. Love the carpet under Abbie’s tufted ottoman…and the twine light fixture! So perfectly retro. I’ll have to put that on my (super long) list of “things to do and try”…

  2. Gosh…wish I’d seen Abbie’s ottoman before I donated my similar coffee table to Goodwill! Great job! Love all of the creativity shared here! Thank you all for sharing your talents!

  3. I’ve never had lemoncello…but hearing it called summer in a bottle just may get me to try it!

  4. I love all of the pallet love going around! I’ve seen them made into book shelves and other clever storage, but I’m really loving the garden arrangement pallet! Love all of your finds! :)

  5. Oooh …… time to get busy to try some of these!! I find them all so inspiring…. along with each blogger. Nice collection!

  6. Thanks for featuring my lavender martini! And my other favorite drink happens to be limoncello. Can’t WAIT to try that recipe!
