BFF Open House Link Party #192

Happy Friday Eve all even though I'm a little pouty since College Boy will leave tomorrow to go back and finish up his last semester of college! It's been a great visit and hard to believe he'll graduate this year! 

Lots of great shares at last week's party. Here are just a few: 

Let's start off with this faux patina monogram from A Creative Princess. Love the combination of paint and distress inks. 

How about this gorgeous metal stamped bracelet from Pitter and Glink? Perfect Valentine's gift. 

Plastic water bottles. I know we're supposed to hate them but they are a necessary evil in my life and I'll bet I'm not alone. I try to minimize and re-use and Mich in LA has a great way to keep track of yours on the go with this gorgeous beaded strap holder! 

The name of this week's chocolate feature from Her Organized Chaos speaks for itself doesn't it? 

Now on to this week's party!

BFF Open House Link Party #183

Happy Friday Eve once again! Can you believe Halloween was already a week ago? I can't. Before you know it Thanksgiving will be here. Time is not slowing down. 

Here are some ideas from last week's party perfect for entertaining, decorating and gift giving. 

Do you love strolling through Restoration Hardware or flipping through their catalog? Do you find yourself oohing and ahhhing and saying "no way" at the prices? Rachel from Holy Craft did and knocked off a $550 piece from RH for next to nothing. 

Seeing "caramel apple" and "nachos" in the same sentence is not something I would expect to see. But Bonnie from The Pin Junkie managed to combine them into this dessert that is a must try! Plus there is just no easy way to eat a whole caramel apple is there? 

Teri from A Creative Princess has a simple but perfect idea for fall decorating using clay pots. You could do smaller versions for a centerpiece or make a few of these as gifts. 

I'm going to let Sharon from Her Organized Chaos explain this week's chocolate feature in her own words: Must I really explain this cheesecake? You can just imagine the taste with the name.Oh Sharon, yes I can...yes I can!

Now on to this week's party!
