Happy July, and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am thrilled to be joining Katherine at Katherine’s Corner and wonderful group of bloggers for my third year as a co-hostess for this fantastic weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers too!
If you are looking to grow your blog, make new friends, and or simply to be inspired each week, this is the place to be! *Bloggers: If you would like a chance to be featured, please leave a comment with the number of your link up. We can’t wait to see what you have to share this week! (If you missed the last party you can find it here.)
To get the party started, let’s take a look at what I have been up to recently:
On Saturday we had a yard sale along with our neighbors who were having a moving sale. One thing I always hate about hosting a sale is missing all of the Saturday morning sales, but this time I was able to score a few treasures from my neighbor and make some extra money while getting rid of my own junk so it was the best of both worlds. I ended up scoring this pretty door basket for only $2.00. Using items I already had, I fixed up a farmhouse patriotic door basket just in time for the Fourth of July. Check out my post for all the details.
