Vintage Inspiration #117 Gifts from the Heart

Time for another Vintage Inspiration. I know this month will just fly by...and I know you all feel it too. There were so many wonderful links last week, I could feature all of you. Today I want to share one outstanding post that just personifies the joy of giving at Christmas.

Syliva from Sylvia's Simple Life shares her wonderfully made
"Gifts from the Heart".

If you don't know Sylvia and her beautiful blog, then you'll want to take this opportunity to visit. Each post is an amazing experience, and you feel like you've spent a moment just sharing her world. Here are a few photos from her post from last week, each one makes you feel like you're flipping through the pages of a magazine. The following images are some of her yummy recipes that we might gift to special people in our life. 

Enjoy...












Thank you so much for sharing your recipes, Sylvia!

And here are a few more of the wonderful links from last week:

A traditional Christmas DIY Cranberry and Bay Leaf Garland
from Angela at Number Fifty-Three



 by Carlene of Organized Clutter



shares her antique collection of beautiful and delicate
 die cut calendar tops.



And a Tree Farm Inspired Sign Wall 
from Courtenay at The Creek Line House


I also want to share some Christmas goodies 
from one of my "Sweet" Sponsors,
Sweet Magnolias Farm. 
Lots of fun Farmhouse Goods
 just in time for Gift Giving



Bless Our Nest Burlap and Lace Tablerunner



Christmas Flour Sack Kitchen Towel



Women's Justin Black Leather Cowboy Boots


Thankyou, Abbey and Sara!

Hope you'll join in today with "anything vintage or vintage inspired". And since we're celebrating all things Christmas, please feel free to link up to three post of anything Christmas, including recipes, DIY, decor, traditions, and great finds for the Holidays. Please have a link within your post to be featured.


If you're in a party mood,
 then here are some other fun Friday Parties to visit:





 Have a great fun filled weekend!
xoxo,
