Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #389

Messy Messy Fail - Of all the different pumpkin/gourd varieties I planted in my row of the patch, it appears as if the goblin pumpkins, and the green ones did not make it at all.  I'm not sure if it was the particular seeds I planted or if
those particular vines just didn't get pollinated.  

Tidy Victory - My big orange pumpkins (no that's not the actual name lol), some pinks, some hubbard squash and the gourds DID form so that is super exciting!  I wish I had planted some white pumpkins (I was going to in my moon garden but honestly, just never did) so will have to add that next year.  I think it's safe to say we probably have about 50 assorted fruits that are ripening out there - go us!




Welcome to our weekly Happiness is Homemade 389 Link Party where bloggers come together to share their latest and their greatest posts with you. Every week you will discover a delightful assortment of creative ideas that you will love! At our party you will find the best recipes, crafts, do-it-yourself projects, home décor ideas, fashions and family fun.

Hey all, It's Linda from A Labour of Life and it's my turn to browse through and pick my favourites. August is all about end of summer fun, back to school planning and yes summer relaxation.

Thank you so much for coming by this week for our party. We can hardly wait to find out what you have come by to share with us this week but, first, let’s take a look at our features from last week’s party!


Fun Features This Week

My first feature will surprise no-one, lol. Yep a fun tablescape from Whispers of the Heart I could not pass this Crab Table by. Imagine a tablescape dedicated to crabs. It was just too cute to scroll past. Plus I think my inner table girl keeps encouraging all of you to share your tables. Every time I catch one of Beth's ables (and trust me there are 100's) I picture what her storage room must look like. I want a storage unit like her's filled with all this is awesomeness.

Keeping with the by the Sea theme how tasty does this Sweet and Sour Prawn dish look from Treat and Trcik? . "Fried prawn is coated with spicy, sweet and sour sauce from tomato, chili sauce and lemon juice. To add color, red, yellow and green bell pepper are added. You can add sugar if you like but for me it is not required."

OK well that is enough of the sea... I am feeling the BTS and pumpkin vibes today. Featuring this oh so stunning Metal Pumpkin Vignette from Master Pieces of my Heart. I have to tell you it was hard picking one picture to share, tis display is stunning.

Sticking to my apparent new pumpkin theme, next up is a delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe from Off the Grid. "Even better, it makes a low-fat high-fiber muffin that includes whole-wheat flour. And this recipe lets you sneak some pumpkin into your family's diet.




Our very own Life as a Leo Wife has created this beautiful Pumpkin Sign. But its doesn't stop there the post is all about creating beautiful signs without a cricut. Gos where was she before I purchased mine lol. Regardless the colours and style truly caught my eye.





Special Feature

Jumping off the all my themes, which I guess makes this a non theme week lol, I had to share these Kahlua Chocolates. from The Kitchen is my Playground. Basically because hello Chooclate and who can resist.
