Be Inspired Friday #121: What's NEW in the New Year

With a New Year, changes inevitably come. Two of my "sister" Friday Blogs are now discontinuing their weekly Friday linky parties. It started me thinking about opening up this party to be more of a place to share ALL your Inspiration. Yes, "vintage inspiration" will still be my main theme, but I know that I find inspiration in so many areas, so I'd like to throw out the invitation to all of you that have something fun and inspiring to share. Just a little name change to welcome a lot more fun to the party!

There are still so many wonderful Holiday posts;

 here are just a few of the great ones from last week.

Take a peek at the Parisian Styled New Year's Eve Party  from Laura at Decor to Adore. She gives a tutorial on the oh so adorable party hats, below.

Stephanie from Rose Petals and Rust has such a lovely feminine Dining Room in pastels. You'll want to see how she used a little "industrial" in her Christmas decor.

 Laura at Sunday View created a "Chalkboard" Banner

that I'm wanting to try.

Elizabeth from The Porcelain Rose

rings in the New Year with a vignette of Vintage Bling.

And Simone from Fleaing France proves she works well under pressure by decorating her home with wonderful vintage flair. You'll also want to see how she painted some wall tile in her bath. It's really gorgeous!

And since it's not too soon to start thinking about Valentine's Day

I thought I'd share a few beautiful items from my sponsor

Mother of Pearl Cross Necklace with Heart

Sweet as Cotton Candy

adorable cuff bracelet "All Heart"

and this beautiful "Mother's Heart" 

created from Vintage Linens and Mother Brooch

Hope you'll run by and check out Leslie's wonderful shop,

 full of repurposed vintage.

Hope you'll join in on the party today,

be sure and visit my "sister" Friday Blog Parties.

OK, so feel free to share all your inspiration, vintage or new, recipes, and DIY. Just let it be something that inspires others. I'd also love for you to be a follower with GFC. Please have a link back to this blog to be featured! And welcome to all you new partiers!

Top Three Links from Vintage Inspiration

We may have had a smaller turnout in linkers due to Christmas Week, but we had tons of visitors throughout the Holidays! These are the top three visited entries, hope you'll stop by to visit them if you haven't yet had the chance.

Elizabeth from Blue Clear Sky shared her Farmhouse whites, with this great collection of Ironstone in her Black Mennonite Pine Hutch.

Kathleen from Faded Charm took us on a Home Tour
of her beautiful vintage whites this Christmas.

And Mary from At Home on the Bay shared her Top Five Posts of 2012.

(Love these wonderful draperies and starburst mirror in the bedroom)

Hope you'll join in tomorrow for Vintage Inspiration.

"anything vintage or vintage inspired"

And a big Thank You to all 

who left sweet comments on my last post.
