Be Inspired #138: May Days

Hi Everyone...

and Welcome to Be Inspired!

what a week it's been!

You all really outdid yourself last week with so many great links. I could have featured dozens more of you. Hope you'll join in on the party. Any inspirational posts are welcome. Here are a few that I really enjoyed...

Pam from House of Hawthornes

shared some images of vintage book pages that you'll love!

yep, we all love a good cow...and I'm crazy for old children's books.

Cherry Blossoms and a Spring Mantel

from Vanessa at the Picket Fence

(if you haven't read this please go by)

Love the typewriter art made from paint can lids,

that Sue from Sullivan and Murphy shared

in her post about the High Point Showrooms.

Bird House Condo from a recycled Chandelier

from Lynn at The Vintage Nest

Joy from Savvy City Farmer

traded out a chandy for this incredible silver meat dome

in her kitchen. Joy is a super talented gal with some wonderful events.
If you don't know her, please go visit for some fabulous inspiration.

and Bethany from This Little Estate

shared a yummy recipe for Best Barbecue Chicken

in a slow cooker...I'm hungry now...

Today's Be Inspired Sponsor is Michele from Glass Bead Treasures. She has some wonderful pieces of remastered jewelry and vintage goodies. Great for Mother's Day gifts. Hope you'll run by her Etsy Shop for a peek.

Thanks Michele!

Time to party!

Please have a back link to Common Ground

Thank you for checking in to see how my hubby is doing after his surgery.

It's been a looooooonng week, but he's doing better.

I know that I haven't been able to visit with each of you;

please know that I appreciate each one of you for coming by

and sharing your day over here.

Love you guys, you're the best!

Be Inspired Wednesday Showcase

I'm going to try to refrain from screaming, but for some crazy reason they are predicting cold weather again for the remaining of the week, with a chance of snow on Friday. Can you believe it? I guess there will be some of you out there trying to hold back with me. what's up with this? Glad I haven't invested in tons of flowers yet...evidently being behind this year may work in my favor!

OK, enough of the mini-rant...

and on to some fun links from last week.

Kristen from Sophia's shared her group trip to North Carolina with the
