Be Inspired #126 A little romance...

Hey there all you talented and inspiring peeps!
This last week was one of those weeks that I could literally have featured dozens of you. Your projects, decor, and culinary delights are just over the top. I was hoping that when Vintage Inspiration changed over to Be Inspired that it would open the door for more of you to feel comfortable joining in. You haven't disappointed in all the creativity, beauty, humor, and imagination. You all definitely know how to share the inspiration! Thanks for coming over here each week and making this party a success. I hope you take a minute to look around, then come back by later in the week. Some of the best links are the ones that arrive fashionably late to the party...te he!


Rosemary from Ozma of Odds was on hiatus for awhile during her move,
but  now she's back with some incredible projects and her signature fairy dusting
with this Starlit Linen Chair



the back is equally as beautiful,
with this corseted look.

If you don't know Rosemary you'll want to meet her 
and be swept away to the Land of Odds.
For more loveliness you'll want to follow her Pinterest page!


Judy from French Laundry shared some Valentine Love
with some beautiful items from a few of her favorite Etsy shops.



Becky from Generation to Generation 
created this wonderful dresser redo,
by painting a scene from an old postcard.
Such a beautiful way to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake!



 Sarah at Hyacinths for the Soul
took us to a luncheon where the hostess had created these
simple but elegant Cameo Valentine Gift Tags. 



Nita from Mod Vintage Life   gave us the scoop
 on this year's Easter Inspiration from Pier 1.
I'm really "diggin'" those striped carrots!



Lisa from Lewisville Love
gave us tips on creating an Upcycled Pantry.
Now if she could just come to my house and tackle my pantry!



Needing a chocolate fix?
Take a peek at this Dark Chocolate Bark
Just look at those chunks of yumminess!



This week's Be Inspired is brought to you by the talented

If you're looking for some one-of-a-kind Valentine gifts,
please take a peek at Leslie's wonderful romantic creations!



Time to party!
This party is now open to all inspiring posts, vintage or new. Please just have a link back to Common Ground within your post  to be featured.

and please check out my other Friday party pals.


 I'm so glad you're here,
