I want a mint julep, those look delicious! Great features this week, as always! Thanks for hosting such a fab party girls, you sure are the hostess with the mostess.
That bathroom vanity is stunning. Enjoy your derby! It sounds like a lot of fun!!
Great features! Thank so much for hosting 🙂
Great Features! And thanks, now I want a Mint Julep!
Super features, girls and thanks for hosting.
I love what’s holding the Mint Juleps. Thanks for hosting. Great features, as always.
Thanks for hosting!
I’ve never had a mint julep. Sounds great. Thanks as always for hosting. Great features!!
I could use a refreshing mint julep after a long afternoon in the hot, humid OH weather. Planting flowers in the heat isn’t fun. LOL What wonderful features, girls! 🙂
Great features girls! Thanks so much for hosting!
I would love to try a Mint Julep in one of the silver cups!
Thanks for hosting!
Thanks LOTS for the SUPER FUN feature and thanks so much for hosting! Kentucky was one of our FAVORITE states to visit as we drove from TX to PA and then back another route!!! I’ll have to see if we can play next time I visit my baby sister!!! XO, Aimee
Those mint juleps look awesome! Will have to make some Saturday. Thanks, as always, for hosting such a wonderful party.
Ohhh. . . thank you so much for featuring my guest room! The beds are made and just waiting for you two! Come right on!
Your Mint Juleps and Derby Pie look decadent and oh so good. I like Maker’s Mark, too, as well as Woodford Reserve, Knob Creek, and Blanton’s. I’m a fan of your native Kentucky drink! I once dated a boy who hailed from Bourbon County–but alas, he was from a family of teetotalers, so I don’t know if he ever actually drank any bourbon. Of course, he’s nearly 50 years old now and has lived in Lexington his entire adult life; surely he drinks juleps on Derby Day! 🙂
Thanks so much for this wonderful party. I’m excited to be linking up my front porch makeover–and I’m so glad to FINALLY be getting some projects done around here!!
HI Gals,
Loving Blissful Blooms kitchen – the mismatched stools are great!
I wish I could put on a big hat, sip a mint julep and meet you at the Derby! But the Derby pie is the next best thing!

Great features today. Thanks for hosting. Today I discovered iPiccy and Collages, seems to have a few less and a few more features than Picnik but whew! collages made easy again.
Thanks for hosting, Ladies! I’ll take a slice of that pie while I check out the cute kitchen you featured. Have a lovely weekend!

Your pie and julep photos are beautiful. They look like the BHG pros took them for you. That’s how good they are!!!! I will definitely be making your pie today. Thanks for participating in the Derby Week Event with us.
Yum the derby pie sounds so good. I am going to be making my simple syrup today in preparation for our derby party and the famous mint juelps! Thank you so much for participating in Derby week and have a great derby day!

The Kentucky Derby pie sounds yummy! Thanks so much for hosting.
Hi, Vanessa and Heather. This is my first time linking up here. I really enjoyed what you shared today. I’ve never been to the Kentucky Derby, but the hubs and I used to own and ride horses a lot. We did visit the Kentucky horse park in Lexington, which was a lot of fun! I also like that you highlight some of the different posts that other bloggers share here!
Blessing to you both – Ann
Hi, ladies! Thanks so much for hosting again, and, Heather, looks like you’ll have a great time with the derby festivities!

thank you for hosting. I’ve never partaken of a mint julep, but have always wanted to. Just not a popular drink I guess in NW Wisconsin, it sounds so romantic though. Great features too. Little Bit from http://www.DecorateWithaLittleBit.com
Hey, Happy Derby time. It is baby shower time here!
Thanks for featuring my pulled pork pizza with caramelized onions. I’ve made it three times now it will become a regular feature in the menu rotation for sure.
And thanks for hosting. It keeps us being able to share and gather inspiration.
Have a great weekend everyone!- Marji
Thank you for hosting! Your Kentucky Derby pie looks AMAZING! Thanks for sharing the recipe, I’m going to have to give it a try 🙂

Happy Friday!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for hosting and I LOVE your features, great picks! xo ~Liz

Thanks for hosting!

Thanks so much for the party–I linked up my salvaged window project!
It was so fun celebrating KY this week with you all! I’m definitely going to try your Derby pie recipe. In years past I’ve always ordered mine and had it delivered but there’s nothing like a home baked pie is there? Is it bad that I’ve been trying to decide which would be better- a julep before a margarita or a margarita before a julep. LOL! I can’t forget it’s also Cinco de Mayo- I am 25% Mexican after all. 😉
Gorgeous pictures! I’ll be making BOTH these recipes this weekend! I need to pick myself up some of those silver julep chalices though! I’m very new to your blog but I’m loving it! Thank you so much for hosting!

Hi ladies, Ther Derby pie looks wonderful! Thanks for hosting.
xo, Sherry
Love your features. The guest bedroom redo really took my eye as did the pulled pork pizza. Oh Yum! And that Derby Pie. I have got to have a piece! Have watched Secretariat twice now this week. A fun movie to celebrate the Derby with.
Also you two. I was in line at Joanns Fabric today and perusing their magazines and came across the April issue of Romantic Homes. I opened it and there you two were….blog and all. I was THRILLED for you! And you so deserve that feature and shout out from them. You gals have such an incredible blog and do so much for the blogging world. I was just busting my buttons for you. I feel like a proud Mamma!! So enjoyed reading it. Congratulations ladies!!!
