Welcome to Inspiration Friday No. 39!

Wow! Once again we are overwhelmed at all of the amazing inspiration y’all share with us! It’s so difficult to choose a few to feature each week.  We hope you take a moment to visit many of the fabulous posts others are sharing here at Inspiration Friday.  You will be as blown away as we are! 

This past Simply Sundays we featured some of the amazing stories of hope, courage and faith that have been linked up this month.  If you’re in need of a “pick me up” we invite you to read these lovely posts.

It’s time again to take a moment to THANK the fabulous sponsors of At The Picket Fence.  Once a month we like to showcase the amazing talent of these businesses and introduce you to some of their products.  THEY help make At The Picket Fence and Inspiration Friday happen!

We were so excited to welcome several new sponsors this past month.  Up first we have the lovely

Redbird Cottage Art creates lovely original watercolors with an emphasis on nature.  They have beautiful watercolor cards perfect for seasonal giving.

And I am coveting this sweet little redbird watercolor.  It would be perfect in my dining room…hint. hint to any of my family reading. grin.

We invite you to consider Redbird Cottage Art for lovely, original gift giving for the holiday season!

Up next we welcome

Thank you for allowing us to take a moment to showcase of our sponsors! We think they are all amazing and we appreciate their support of At The Picket Fence! Now onto our features from last week!

The Painted Hive shared this absolutely stunning nursery filled with incredible detail and amazing trash to treasure transformations. Included run of the mill closet doors transformed into chalkboards and a lamp stand repurposed from a brake fluid drum! No joke!

You must go over and read every single word of this post to fully grasp all that went into creating this gorgeous space.

This next feature will without a doubt be getting knocked off by one of the girls from the Fence.

And, that would make it a knock-off of a knock-off! Liz is the Naptime Decorator and for only $10 she created her own version of a Pottery Barn Ruler Growth Chart.

We think it is so adorable and you will have to be sure and come back next week when you will see our own version of her version of their version. Wait…did that make sense?

And just when you think you have seen it all, you click on a link to the makeover of a

Chicken Coop! Andrea from Town and Prairie transformed the nesting box of a chicken coop she was able to salvage from an old barn and we couldn’t believe how she repurposed it and turned it into something so lovely and multi-functional. You gotta see it to believe it!

Rita from May Days shared a wonderful recipe with us last week. But this isn’t something to eat!

It might look and smell like a sweet treat, but this Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub will actually be just the thing to keep your skin feeling soft during the upcoming winter months.

But, just in case you get a hankering for a recipe that will satisfy your sweet tooth, we think our next feature will definitely do the trick.  The lovely Leslie of The Cozy Little Kitchen shared these Warm and Gooey Toasted Marshmallow S’more Bars!

Yep, we’ll take two servings please Leslie. Ok…make that 2 each!
