Happy August and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am thrilled to celebrate my eighth 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!   

Here’s what I’ve been up to:

I am excited to be back to regular posting after taking July and the first part of August off for vacation. I was gone on a dream trip to England, Scotland and Ireland, for most of July! Here is a shot from our first stop in Med. I will be sharing all about our trip in a new travel serries soon!

Now here are some lovely features from last week’s party!
