Be Inspired #138: May Days

Hi Everyone...
and Welcome to Be Inspired!
what a week it's been!

You all really outdid yourself last week with so many great links. I could have featured dozens more of you. Hope you'll join in on the party. Any inspirational posts are welcome. Here are a few that I really enjoyed...


shared some images of vintage book pages that you'll love!
yep, we all love a good cow...and I'm crazy for old children's books.





Cherry Blossoms and a Spring Mantel
(if you haven't read this please go by)





Love the typewriter art made from paint can lids,
that Sue from Sullivan and Murphy shared
 in her post about the High Point Showrooms.






Bird House Condo from a recycled Chandelier
from Lynn at The Vintage Nest



traded out a chandy for this incredible silver meat dome
in her kitchen. Joy is a super talented gal with some wonderful events.
If you don't know her, please go visit for some fabulous inspiration.




and Bethany from This Little Estate
shared a yummy recipe for Best Barbecue Chicken
in a slow cooker...I'm hungry now...




Today's Be Inspired Sponsor is Michele from Glass Bead Treasures. She has some wonderful pieces of remastered jewelry and vintage goodies. Great for Mother's Day gifts. Hope you'll run by her Etsy Shop for a peek.




Thanks Michele!


Time to party!
Please have a back link to Common Ground 
within your post to be featured.


and please check out my other Friday Party Gal Pals.



Thank you for checking in to see how my hubby is doing after his surgery.
It's been a looooooonng week, but he's doing better.
I know that I haven't been able to visit with each of you;
please know that I appreciate each one of you for coming by
and sharing your day over here.

Love you guys, you're the best!

  3. Just sat down at my computer this morning and remembered I needed to link up..not sure I've ever been this early to a party:-)

    Sorry to hear about your weather. I think you've got our usual Spring weather, while we're having wonderful warm and sunny days here this year. It's supposed to be in the 80's this weekend(don't mean to rub it in).

    I hope your husband is recovering nicely.

    Take care and think sunny thoughts!

    xoxo
