Now onto this week’s party.

Welcome my friends to The Scoop.

The weekly link party featuring the scoop on the best posts

from around the web!

More exposure + less time = win win!

We are

Linsey from Farmhouse Porch,

Debbie from Confessions of a Plate Addict

Anne from White Lace Cottage

and Barb from The Everyday Home.

Hi Everyone!

I am Barb with The Everyday Home and I am your

Co-Host this week.

Last week, I went to the Country Living Fair with my

dear friend and fellow Blogger, Debbie with

Confessions of a Plate Addict.

Over the weekend, we also went to some of Deb’s favorite

“Goodwill Hunting” sites, and best of all – she took me to

the “Queen of Hearts.” An antique and vintage store she has

been blogging about for years.

It was amazing!!!! From the moment we walked into the door,

there was so much to see. (and so much I wanted to buy)

It was a mix of treasures, from vintage to antique to

English to farmhouse.

But one of *THE* most jaw-dropping amazing sights I have

ever seen inside any antique shop…and I have been thru antique

shops all over this world – is this…

Oh, but wait – there is more…

Two large booth spaces filled to the brim. All along the floor

and in every nook and cranny there was available.

I was told that this humongo collection is owned by one

single woman. And her house is filled with much, much

more. I’d like to be best friends with her.

I will share more of our visit to the “Queen of Hearts” this week,

but for now – I have the pleasure of introducing this week’s

Guest Host. Please welcome the super sweet

Sheila from the blog Plum Doodles.

Sheila has chosen some fantastic features

from last week’s party…so I’m going to say welcome

and turn it over to her.

Hellooo, fellow Scoop-ers! I’m Sheila from

Plum Doodles,

where I offer a “doodle of fun, faith, and furniture.” I am thrilled

and honored to be a guest host here with all these awesome ladies.

I love to rescue old outdated furniture and décor and

repurpose or update it with a little paint, a little embellishment,

or a total rebuild. I often use graphics to update my projects,

so I also sell my own graphics transfer medium called Doodle Magic.

Check out my DM Projects Gallery for fun ways to use it.

So, let’s see what you all served up this week.

It is nearly impossible to choose features, so I decided to

narrow it down according to “my favorites” categories. If you

spend any time at all with me or my blog, you know I love

chocolate. So, how could I possibly pass up

Death by Triple Chocolate Cupcakes from

Home is Where the Boat Is?!

Go check out the recipe, if you dare- bwahahaha!

Puns are one of my favorite kinds of jokes. You may groan

(the sign of a good pun), but you won’t be disappointed with

Thinking Closet’s 20 Punny Halloween Costume Ideas.

I have created many projects using the oh-so-thrifty drop

cloth, but The Turquoise Home’s Painted Drop Cloth Curtains

take it up a notch or seven with stripes. I likey!

Beautiful fabrics are a weakness of mine, and Sonya from

Beyond the Screen Door has such a talent for combining fabrics

for gorgeous window treatments. Maybe I should try tackling her

bell valance for my keeping room?

I also love using old books and hymnals in craft projects.

Sheryl from the Red Tin Inn has created wonderfully

whimsical Sheet Music Christmas Trees.

I don’t think you can ever have too many throw pillows,

though hubby disagrees…. Hymns and Verses made adorable

“I Belong With You” pillows in honor of her son’s engagement.

Be sure to click over to see more.

And on that sweet note, I’ll hand you over to our lovely regular

hosts. Thanks so much for having me. Doodles, SheilaG.

Thanks so much Sheila!
