I love this summer look from COMMON GROUND.
And here’s this week’s link up.

Thanks for all the great posts/inspirations! 🙂
Yvonne, you are the best. Thank you for all you do to share with us on your blog. I look forward to it every day!
Enjoyed going through the Scoops, clicked on about five of them, read the articles…plus clicked on some other links in the articles – lol. My husband and I are doing a kitchen refresh this week so I was looking for info about backsplashes. We’re considering beadboard, but last night I was talking with my mom on the phone and she told me I will regret that choice. I noticed you have a beadboard backsplash in your kitchen, Yvonne…is it difficult to maintain, especially near the sink and stove?

P.S. Hope I’m not posting twice…had some troubles but I’d copied it just in case and I got a message that I was posting too quickly. LOL – what???
Thanks for all the wonderful info! I really enjoy all the reading and tips.
Thank you for all the ideas. We are using lanterns for our daughter’s wedding and then I can use them in my house. Great inspiration.
Thank you for all the Scoops. Can’t wait to look at them !
Thanks for hosting! I can’t believe how fast the summer is flying by!

Thank you Stonegable for all your decorating ideas. I have used some like decorating my dining room table. Kenny and I want to put in shelving and a fireplace just like the one you have (Living Room). It’s something new everyday that I see when I view your site.
When you get the shelves up, please send me a picture!
Enjoyed the Scoop today! Thanks for hosting, Yvonne. Great collection of links this week.
Thank you for party time ! I am toasting Anita’s wedding picture with her Dad ! ( drinking coffee !) Love all the ideas this week…thank you Yvonne …your blog is a special gift to all of us ….Smiles…Anne
Thank you for all the great inspiration in the Scoop! I look forward to looking through it each week.
Going back to last weeks post, I just have to say Thank You, again. I have been taking room by room and organizing. My mother was only 43 when she passed away, as I was cleaning I channeled your words and hers. She always told me, if I put things away when I was finished with them it might take me five minutes. When you go back later it will have added up and take longer. My adult daughter’s still have their on line orders shipped home. I have the worst habit of putting mail and pkg. on one end of my dining room table. It is my catch all.
WOW! Thanks for including so many blogs. You were a beautiful bride. What a great photo. We always have a pic of our Mother and the bride, but never the Dad with his little girl!
Thanks, Yvonne! Many great ideas here!
I have only just found your blog and can’t wait to see all you have assembled. I am so busy with several small jobs in the next two days, but then I will make that cup of tea and look at each and every page. Thank you for helping keep a gentile way of life alive.
Hi Sue, Welcome to the StoneGable family! I’m so glad you are here!
Thanks for hosting us! Hope you have a great week, Yvonne! ~julie

I love all the ideas, but my favorite is always table settings & vinyettes. I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Thanks for hosting an inspiring party!
Love to read the Scoops. These ladies are so creative.

I always love reading the Scoop each week! Thanks so much for hosting and letting us be a part of it!
I always look forward to the scoop!
So many pretty boogs to look at. My first take away is from Worthing Court – remember to add seasonal fabric to tray. Warms it right up
Thank you for all of the “eye candy”, great info and tips you provide each week!
Your blog posts are always full of great ideas and pretty pictures! Thanks!
Thank you for introducing me to such great blogs, in addition to your own!
The Scoop is for building community and sharing! So happy you are taking advantage of that!
Happy 33rd wedding anniversary to you and your sweet (but bashful) hubby Yvonne! We will also celebrate 33 years of marriage this month! We were married Aug. 6th, 1983….possibly the hottest day on the planet. Thanks for sharing so many wonderful things on your blog!
Love you decorating style! I’d love to add a few new items with the $100 Visa card. Happy August. Really hot here in Oklahoma.
Thanks for hosting. Always happy to come and visit!
Hi Yvonne! Everything you publish just inspires me like crazy! If I’m ever needing a little “pick me up” I go directly to your blog or your Pinterest page and drink in all the wonderful ideas you post and I become so much more positive and ready to take on the day! A million thank yous for doing what you do. You’re a treasure!
Best wishes, Karen
Thanks so much Karen.
I just found this blog, and I’m in love with this style! I’ve been wanting to start a collection of tableware. You’ve inspired me!
Welcome to the StoneGable family, Andrea!
Love the pumpkin tureen! Adds something very special to the table.
Love the Fall Ideas
I look forward to your emails everyday! I love all your decorative ideas!
Creative piece . I learned a lot from the facts . Does someone know where my company would be able to get access to a sample Canada Form P version to type on ?
