Thursday Link Love

More random finds from my trip around the blogosphere:

• Love these fabulous bookmarks … they make me want to go start a new book (yes, I'm one of those people who reads several books at the same time).
• Taking a tour of this adorable vintage cabin made me want to redecorate … love the period furniture pieces and fantastic pops of color.
• Another fabulous decorating find … groups of empty picture frames … so striking.
• And how about these fabulous wall hanging mason jar vases.
• I found another site with free vintage image downloads … love these butterflies.
• A great tutorial for making quote magnets … these would make such fun gifts.
• An amazing flower tutorial using a doily & acrylic flowers (going to have to try embossing some acrylic).
• I love Nicole's wonderful scrappy kitchen rug (and the idea that you could just sew on another piece of fabric if you stain it with some spaghetti sauce) … oh yeah, and she's got a link for Snickerdoodle Cake too … I'm all over that.
• Using Lace for Leaves … what a gorgeous result.
• A great idea to add art to public spaces.
• Tomato, onion & avocado … sounds so yummy & summery.
• Love this gorgeous layout with wonderful Box Flowers … she includes a link to the Cosmo Cricket blog for a video tutorial.
• Polka Dot Cottage has some of the best color combinations for her buttons … love this color generator she shares that will generate the color combination from an uploaded photo.  Here's a swatch from one of my vacation pictures.

And don't forget, there's still time to participate in the 100th Etsy Inspired Challenge for a chance to win an amazing pendant from Cathy Walters or the 100-item prize package.  Also, each design team member will have their own prize to give away chosen from commenters on our Etsy Inspired Posts (mine is here).
 

Happy Thursday!
