::Weekend Bloggy Reading:: Link Up!

Welcome to Weekend Bloggy Reading. I hope you'll link up your best post of the week today, and maybe leave me some comment love!

All kinds of posts are welcome--recipes, crafts, funny stories, home decor, etc.; but please do not link to Etsy shops, businesses, items for sale, etc. (I have a Sponsors section, if you'd like to Advertise with me.)

Here are a few of my faves from this week:


sources listed below

~A great article for bloggers via ProBlogger on 4 Ways to Captivate Readers.

~A really neat new series from Relunctant Entertainer on Summer Entertaining.

~Amy pondered Grey in a touching and well written post.

~Holly gave an old Chandelier a great makeover with hot pink paint!

~24 Ways to Use Vintage China and Silver were shared by Leslie this week.



~And me? This week featured:



Time to link up your best post of the week (please take the time to include a link-back or my party button and visit some of the other participants!)

Here's the button code if you'd prefer to use that rather than a link-back:
Weekend Bloggy Reading








Party is open until 10 pm (ET) on Sunday night.

Remember that blog parties work best when bloggers participate, so if you have a chance to visit a few of the other links, you might find a new friend or two!

The girls and I are travelling to North Carolina today with my mom. My brother, his wife (SuSu), and their baby are going down separately. There's a family party on Saturday for my grandmother (Nannie), who turned 100 in May. The girls are excited to get away, and I am dreading sharing a room with them for two nights. T, on the other hand, is relishing the thought of having the house to himself! I won't have internet access until Sunday, so I hope to be able to share some Highlights from the link up then.

What are you up to this weekend?


Hope to be back Sunday night with some highlights from Weekend Bloggy Reading!

Thanks so much for hosting! This is my first time linking up and it's a great group! So much inspiration.

I'm a bit of a moron apparently and entered my own name instead of the name of my post (should read "Homemade Maraschino Cherries" instead of "Katherine") so sorry about that... any way to change it? I'll get it right next time! :-) Have a great weekend!
