Be Inspired #125 Winter Lovelies

Welcome to the new and improved
Be Inspired Friday
so glad you're here!
Today I'm sharing a double feature, sort of like the old movie venues...two for the price of one! Susan linked up two wonderful posts, and I just had to share them both! She has such a beautiful blog, you'll be all swoony for her lovely pastels...

Evelyn and Rose
recent fabric purchase




I can't tell you how much I needed to see this little
 tip on how to make a ruffle "old school" from


If you've been asleep for the last week or so you might have missed
this Wonderful Valentine Mantel from Christina from
Remodelando la Casa



I adore the little vintage train cases and suitcases,
so I love the
Faux Chalkboard Cases
from Betsy at My Salvaged Treasures



Beautiful creations with a message,
are what you'll always find here and her Etsy Shop.
Take a peek at this wonderful
Valentine's Day Canvas and Mantel 
from Doreen at Hymns and Verses.





And Cathy from My 1929 Charmer created some adorable
Valentine decor with her fabric hoop rounds.



Is your sweet tooth needing a Valentine fix?
Check out these yummy treats.

Mary from Home is Where the Boat Is creates
Oreo Valentine Brownies



And Judy created these tasty treats...
Valentine Sweets  from J Bigg's Little Pieces



Today's Be Inspired Sponsor is


Where you'll find treasures for your home and soul.
Thanks Dee, for all the wonderful vintage goods!



I want to take this opportunity to invite you all over 
on Monday morning to come visit 
The Marketplace


If you have an Etsy Shop or Online Boutique, please come link up your items for a browser's paradise. The link stays open all week, so there's lots of time to come shop and/or to add new listings, and you don't have to have a blog to link up. There are always great items, vintage and new, handcrafted, and created by some of your favorite blogging friends. Hope you'll come by and join in on the shopping fun.

 Time to link up all your inspiring posts, new or vintage.


Be Inspired is now open to all inspiring posts, not just vintage.
Please have a link within your post to be feature.

and check out these other fun Friday parties:


 xoxo,
