Happy summer, and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am thrilled to celebrate my fourth year co-hosting this fabulous weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers with Katherine of Katherine’s Corner and a fantastic group of bloggers!

If you would like to make some new friends,  grow your blog audience, or just find some weekly inspiration, this is the place to be! *Bloggers: Please leave a comment with the number of your link up for a chance to be featured at next week’s party. The hosts are all looking forward to what you’ll share this week! (If you missed the last party and the AWESOME features, you’ll find it here.)  To get the party started, here’s what I have been up to:

On Friday I shared my Simple and Sunny Summer Kitchen Refresh! It’s so bright and cheerful with pops of green and yellow and I am thinking I will enjoy this look for several weeks at least!

Creating Vintage Cottage Garden Style with Galvanzied Buckets

I also joined several vintage loving friends for the Lifestyle of Love blog hop with a galvanized theme. I shared how I galvanzied buckets in the garden and indoor.
