Welcome friends! It’s party time. Gather around all blog writers and blog readers this party is for you! I invite you to share your blog posts, grow your blog readership, make new friends and get a boost of enthusiasm for the day. But first, before we have the TFT party an update is needed…Thank you to all who continue to send prayers our way. Our daughter is still managing well (with good days and bad days.Painful headaches and very blurred vision). Her brain surgery is scheduled for the end of August. It’ll be scary then too, so please know I will be asking for more prayers then. Meanwhile please keep her in your thoughts. She is a very busy and successful businesswoman.
If all of this is new to you I hope you’ll read the posts here and here.
Before we party….it is my pleasure to shine the light on a few of our lovely bloggers from last week’s party. Please remember to leave a comment with your link number after you add your blog post to the list. Inlinkz has implemented a new policy so once you add your link to the list you need to click the little square boxes about their policies. All of your hostesses share features every week too so you have several opportunities to be featured. Please remember to pin from the original blogs. But, I invite you to pin my feature collage, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Winter and Sparrow shared a sweet tea towel DIY.
You know I don’t think you can ever have too many tea towels ( wink). Do you remember my flour-sack-towels craft?
Her towels turned out much nicer.
The always lovely, Karianne, shared a pretty post filled with blue and white dishes. “She asks, what if they could talk?” They’d probably say “take me to Katherines”..giggle. Okay, I added that last bit, can’t blame me for trying. I have a big crush on blue and white dishes ( I even have a Pinterest board dedicated to it.)
Simple Nature Decor shared her relaxing garden space. The perfect place to sip ice tea and read a book! It’s in the triple digits here basically it’s hotter than the sun) so I’m stuck inside. But, I love early mornings in the summer and sitting on our back patio.
Thistle Key Lane shared her lovely home in a summer home tour. Home tours are definitely a favorite thing.
Rosemary and Thyme will have you grabbing a fork. She made mini cream cheese and lemon tarts!
Low Carb Delish made blue mermaids and they are sugar free! No tail or fins needed to enjoy this refreshing treat.
The Kittchen made tots! Bacon and ranch tots! Oh bacon how I miss thee, drool….
Country Chic Cottage shared a DIY for this super cute mini garden sign. I added this to my make it list.
Welcome back to TFT Crafts ala Mode you have been missed!
Linda shared this cute and practical birthday mason jar. There’s a party in that jar!
The North End shared her cabin filled with bears. One day I need to tell you about me and bears.
A Dish of Daily Life made a southwestern clam chowder, I like this wonderful twist on clam chowder.
Passion Fruit Paws and Peonies reminded us all that a tiered summer dress never goes out of style.
She looks lovely in this one. 
It’s time to party bloggy friends. I can’t wait to see what you share this week. Remember you can add three links until midnight on Saturday. One each day or all atr once.

Thank you so much for featuring my little bear book ends at your fun party. I was thrilled to see them included here. I just finished reading your linked posts about the trials you’re experiencing. My heart goes out to you and your family as you all deal with your daughter’s health. My brother recently had brain surgery to remove a tumor, so I know how frightened you must be and how difficult it is to wait. My brother made a quick and full recovery, and I pray for the same for your daughter.
Thank you for featuring my Southwestern clam chowder…what a lovely surprise! I’m sending prayers your way for your daughter and hoping that the surgery is successful. ❤️
LOVE LOVE LOVE those tea towels!
