Welcome to Little Cottage Link Party #51! I hope everyone is hanging in there! We’ve been able to do a few things here in South Carolina. We went to the beach this week and shopped at Belk and Goodwill! I also had plenty of time to create. Here’s what I made this week:

I made a Sunflower Garden Flag this week for my front yard. It was time to decorate the last burlap flag from the group I made in 2018.

I found a gorgeous chipwood picnic basket on my first trip to Goodwill since early March. Read How to Paint A Picnic Basket and make your own!
The Little Cottage Link Party is open from Monday, 9am EST, through Thursday, 9am EST (I’m leaving the party open a day longer this year). My goal for this link party is to help myself and others thrive in the home. I’ve spent the last two decades raising five homeschooled children in a beautiful little cottage in the South Carolina Lowcountry. In my opinion, the home is the most important place on earth. It doesn’t matter if you’re married, single, empty-nesting, or raising a large family-your home can still be a refreshing oasis of love and beauty to those who enter.
Time for the Features!
Chas’s Superhero Side Table caught my eye right away! Her gift wreath post was a great idea as well.

Snickerdoodle cookies are one of my favorites! I might have to make these this week! I’m running low on corona virus dessert recipes!

I had to feature the next post because my husband is a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, plus I feel Debbie’s pain with the brick patio refresh. Life is full of projects we need to do, projects we don’t want to do, and projects we just finished.

This 1950’s frosted sandwich loaf is one of those fun recipes! I would love to make a sandwich loaf with either egg or chicken salad. Look at those black olive decorations!

Cherries, watermelon, red stripes, and a picnic basket remind me of trips to my grandmothers’ houses. I love this happy tablescape!

I’m a sucker for anything titled “Americana.” Julie created some cute potholders. I saw a skein of scrubby yarn at Walmart that looked perfect for making pot scrubbers. Maybe I’ll FINALLY learn to crochet more than a chain stitch and make a patriotic scrubby.
