Make it Pretty Monday - Week 65

Hello World!  Happy Labor Day to all of my stateside friends.  No chatting today, so let's get right to the features.  I did, however have a hard time choosing them.  Welcome to Week 65 of:

Make it Pretty Monday
My Favorite
Pretty Kim...Good Lord, this is absolutely wonderful.  You must go pop on over to 
Living Vintage to see this New Vintage Kitchen. 

Make it Pretty Monday
Craft Queen
Pretty Laura has created this adorable window shaker card.  If you look closely you can see the paper hearts and heart glitter that appear in the window when you shake the card.  Pop on over to Sunday View to see more. 

Make it Pretty Monday
Shopping Queen
Pretty Francine has been having fun dressing up her latest find.  Scoot on over to 
Ethereal Plus What I Love to see more of her dress form. 

Make it Pretty Monday
Furniture Transformation Queen
Pretty Lynda has been at it again.  This time she shows up her latest Aged Finish on bathroom vanities.  Head on over to Lynda Bergman to see more of the details.

Pretty Jeanette has spent a week in the sewing room and has turned out some little lovelies like the one above.  Zip on over to Heirloom Treasures to see all of the details.  

Make it Pretty Monday
Culinary Delight Queen
Pretty Jessica...oh, goodness!  Bacon on anything is good.  However, I haven't put it with chicken salad, but now I can't wait to do so.  A party in your mouth!  Dash on over to 
The Thriftiness Miss to get the scoop. 

Make it Pretty Monday
Dessert Queen
 Pretty Shamene...look at this delectable cake!  Bookmarking this one for sure.  Roll on over to Say it with Cake to get the recipe.  

Make it Pretty Monday
DIY Queen
Pretty Cristina shows us how to build double window trim...the easy way!  I really want to be able to do this on my own.  I've been stalking her site for quite some time now checking out all of tutorials!  Pay a visit to Remodelando la Casa to get all of her fab tutorials.  

Make it Pretty Monday
Tablescape Queen
Pretty Janet never fails to amaze us with her lovely tablescapes.  This time she invites us for an afternoon in the garden.  To see all of the lovely touches, pay a visit to Rosemary & Thyme. 

Make it Pretty Monday
Home Decor Queen
Pretty Alicia shares some wonderful herringbone inspiration pictures as well as her very own herringbone backsplash.  So lovely!  Buzz on over to Keep it Beautiful to see herringbone in its finest.  

Make it Pretty Monday
Fall Decor Queen
Pretty Jenna is reminding us that Fall is right around the corner with this lovely little wreath!  Break out the burlap and golden colors, Fall is coming.  You can check this little darling out at 

Make it Pretty Monday
Gardening Queen
Pretty Debra is giving us a tour of her lovely garden that surrounds her bungalow.  Her sunflowers are breathtaking.  Walk on over to Frugal Little Bungalow to take the sunflower tour.   

If you were featured, please grab a feature button below. 
The Dedicated House
Here are a few guidelines to follow:

1. Link up anything Family friendly...DIY, decor, crafts, recipes, gardening, shopping finds, sewing, furniture transformations. inspirational stories, and beautiful photography.
  
2.  If you are participating in Make it Pretty Monday, be sure to link up your "permalink" post and not your general blog address.
 
3.  No etsy shops, giveaways and no sponsor pages.  I might have a separate party for those when I see how well this one goes.
 
4.  Please grab my button below, or have a link back to my blog so everyone can enjoy the party!  No Link Back, No Feature.  Boo.

5.  Please become a follower of The Dedicated House.

6.  Be sure to visit at least two of the other pretties at the party. Show them some love and let them know you popped in for a visit.  You know how we all love comments.
The Dedicated House
If you are looking to link up your blue, pop on in to the Anything Blue Friday party here after you link up here at MIP.  It's a more intimate party than MIP, but it does not disappoint in blue inspiration. 

And, if you missed yesterday's AMAZING fan favorites, click here to go straight to the Sunday Showcase.  

Thanks for popping in to play!  Have a lovely rest of the day and remember to be kind to one another!  Fear Not!

Toodles,
Kathryn
