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:

Nothing new to share this week, since school started back and I have been trying to get back into the swing of things. I do plan to start doing a summer-to-fall refresh around the house this weekend, so I will take a few pics to share with you next week. For now, here’s a throwback to last year’s late August Foyer.
