Monday Social #21


Welcome to Monday Social #21
So sorry I am late.
I just got busy.


Valentine's Day is in 10 days!
Link up your ideas for celebrating Valentine's Day
so readers have time to try them out.

My post in a new series, 

French Design on Friday,  

is about French style slate roofs and how to get a similar look on a budget.


Each Friday I share a photo taken in France and show how to translate that look to create a

French-inspired garden and home.

Now, for this week's linking party...


Monday Social
is a social gathering of friends where we connect with others by visiting them on 

Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or a Blog.  

That's right, you do not have to write a blog to participate in Monday Socials.
You can also link photos from Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest.

Find the addresses for your friends' sites, and 
link your addresses for friends to find. 

Each Sunday at 4:00 p.m. party goers link up photos from one of four sites, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and/or a Blog.

Thanks for joining us last week for Monday Social. 
We had a wonderful time visiting your links that you shared.

One quick reminder... 
Link YOUR specific PHOTO not just your general social media site. 



This week's features include 

New flooring is in the works at my house, so I was very interested in seeing what
Carol at Bluesky Kitchen chose for her new office flooring.
If you are thinking about new flooring, you will want to read
Carol's reasons for choosing her new flooring.

to celebrate Valentine's with all the people in your life you love,
not just a husband or boyfriend.
Inspiring words that also speak to my HEART.
