At The Picket Fence with Vanessa Hunt

Where Ideas for your Home Meet Inspiration for your Heart

Welcome to Inspiration Friday No. 66!

Inspiration Friday Graphic1
It just never gets any easier for us to choose only a handful of Links to feature each week!
You truly are some seriously creative and talented folks and we are always honored when you decide to share that with us here at Inspiration Friday. We have loved getting to meet so many new folks here lately too and want to officially welcome you to the party! Of course, we also love all of our regulars…our friends…our peeps…and we know that this party wouldn’t be the same without you. Smile
Now, while we are on the subject of talent and creativity, we want to take a minute and introduce you to our newest Sponsors here at the Fence!
Kathy of Creative Home Expressions has been a long time blog friend and we are just so thrilled to be partnering with her and her incredible shop:
She has gorgeous items with a French flare for sale. Just take a look!

French Shabby Chic Tote - French Terrarium Image
We are also so thrilled to be partnering with Janelle of:
Emmaline Bags & Patterns

“Emmaline is a collection of unique, 100% handmade, handbags, purses, and PDF sewing patterns created in Queensland, Australia” 

We are also welcoming Emily of Philosophias. She creates handmade, eco-friendly accessories with 20% of her proceeds going to support World Vision. The rest of the proceeds of her sales are helping this talented young woman pay her way through college and support her dream of joining the Peace Corps.
Here are just a couple of the beautiful pieces you will find in her shop:
chan luu inspired vegan hemp wrap bracelet beach natural eco friendly vibrant summer beachy
adjustable braided hippie headband recycled fabric eco friendly frayed free people style
Okie dokie artichokies, it is now time for us to take a look back at some fabulous highlights from last week’s party!

INSPIRED ROOMS

Sonya from Beyond the Screen Door is one of the most talented seamstresses we know and she has recently launched her own shop!
Last week she shared with us these gorgeous drapes which she custom made for the most incredible Waiting Room we have ever seen! Seriously, we could just move right in there. 
Tuck a mini-fridge in the corner and we would be good to go!
Who wouldn’t mind waiting to see their doctor in such a beautiful space?
Rebekah from Woven Home revealed her son’s incredible bedroom! It has so many charming details and you absolutely have to go see the rest of the photos to fully appreciate how amazing this room really is. 
We love the owl stenciled wall!

MAKEOVERS
Decorate With a Little Bit has been working her magic all throughout her home and this beautiful Sun Room got quite the makeover. You won’t believe the view she has out that window too!
Jen of Harrison Home cleverly created more storage and display space by removing the cabinet doors above her fridge and adding bead board to up the charm factor. She just installed some gorgeous new lights in her kitchen too so be sure to stop by and take a look!
Melissa of Daisy Mae Belle gave some pillows a fresh new look with darling slipcovers and they now grace the bench outside of her daughters’ positively adorable playhouse! 
We’re sending our kids on over to play at your place ok Melissa? 
 

CRAFTS & CREATIONS

Lindsay from Southern Lovely showed us how to make this adorable Flower Petal Shirt and all we want to know is if we are too old to wear one because that is just so cute!

Shelley of Crazy Wonderful shared a wonderful tutorial on how to make this Dog Silhouette Art which rests on the dresser of her daughter’s darling bedroom.


We can never get enough of all of the incredible Angry Bird themed projects around here! So, of course, we absolutely love this fantastic Angry Bird Pom Pom party favors created by Melysa of Moments with the Montanos!


RECIPES

These Nutella Banana Coconut Hot Pockets from Jo-Anna at A Pretty Life in the Suburbs combine all of our favorite flavors and we think it would be a miracle if they lasted more than 5 minutes in either of our homes!
Sharon of Lilikoi Joy shared with us the recipe for “Put the Lime in the Coconut Cupcakes” and we think these sound as delicious as they look!

INSPIRING STORIES

Our beautiful friend Richella of Imparting Grace shared with us how God has used her birthmark to reveal the truth of how He sees her…and all of us. And, how He can use something the world views as an “imperfection” to be a beautiful, redeeming way to glorify Him!


Erica of Let Why Lead put a voice to something which every mom has felt from time to time when she shared her thoughts regarding “When it Feels Like Motherhood Doesn’t Fit”. We so appreciate her honesty and her heart!

  45. I’m so behind that I haven’t even seen last week’s inspirations let alone this weeks. I zoooomed right in on that nutella pocket thing, though. I think I want to try that this weekend, and we happen to have some in the pantry since my college girl loves it.

  60. Greetings Girls. Absolutely love all of your features. I’m going to try and get to several of them that took my eye. What talented gals you have linking up. I am so impressed with all these fabulous projects and yummy recipes.

    I am so thrilled that I got to link up this week. I will now be gone to Alaska on a cruise the next couple of weeks (I know its tough but someone has to do it…smile) so won’t be posting until I get back. But thankyou for doing this great party faithfully every week. You are just the best hostesses.
