I'm at Primitive & Proper Today!

Happy Friday everyone! We girls here at Elizabeth & Co. are in the middle of a crazy tag sale weekend. But I'm lucky enough to be two places at once today, because I'm also guest posting over at Primitve & Proper. If you follow along, then you already know that I'm a huge fan of Cassie's work. But even better than that, we have become real life friends. How cool is that!

Well a few weeks ago, Cassie saw a listing for this table and chairs set and knew it was in my area. I was particularly excited because I am seriously running out of furniture!

And here is what it looks like now, hanging out at our tag sale with me and the girls. It's another homemade chalk paint project. And I went preppy blue and yellow! Head on over to Primitive & Proper to check out the details. And while you're there, you'll definitely want to browse around. Besides all the fabulous furniture projects, Cassie has been busy decorating the house she and her family moved into a few months ago. It's the perfect mix of vintage and modern, and totally adorable, just like Cassie!

And if you live in the Westminster, Maryland area, I hope you come check out our tag sale this weekend and say hello to all the girls here at Elizabeth & Co. We have a whole house filled with vintage goodness! Be sure to check out the preview post for photos and all the details! ..... Thanks so much to Cassie for inviting me over! Happy weekend everyone!

Be Inspired Features and Link Party #16

Happy Tuesday! Welcome back for features and party day!

You know I really thought this would get easier, but I'm finding it harder and harder to pick features every week. There are just so many great projects linked up. I want to feature every single one! I really hope that when you are here to link up, you take some time to browse around a bit. I promise that you will be inspired! Now here are just a few links that caught my eye this week .....

Adina from My Simple Country Life shared these upcycled wood frame wall flower vases. I love them and I am totally stealing this idea!

Revi from Revisionary Life created this pretty vignette for her living room. I love the mix of industrial, elegant and cottage elements!

You know how much I love yellow, so this beautiful chest from Deb at Twice Nice had me at hello!

Cyndi from Blue Star Antiques said she found the perfect antidote for "forgettable" when she transformed these little end tables. I totally agree!

Not only do I look forward to all the creative projects from Twigg Studios, but I really appreciate the nicely detailed tutorials. Check out these pretty flower pillows - so soft and luxurious!

I am a huge fan of signs! Carrie from Lovely, etc used a beautiful stormy gray on this one and I love the font. I asked - it's called Riesling. I knew you'd want to know!

I am so looking forward to meeting Connie from Hartwood Roses at the Lucketts Spring Market this year. She's bringing this big beautiful buffet!

Check out this beaufully distressed bold aqua and bright green combination from Kathy at Petticoat Junction. The seat was covered with a $2 skirt she found in a thrift store. What a clever girl!

I wrote this on a chalkboard in my house in January when my husband and I celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary. Gail from My Repurposed Life created this rustic sign from pieces of reclaimed fence wood. Needless to say, I love it!

CJ from Juniper and Roses used turquoise for the very first time on this adorable petite chest of drawers with the most amazing pulls. I think there will be more turquoise in her future!

And last , but not least, how delicious does this buttermilk pound cake look? Deana from Country Momma Cooks shared the recipe. This is a classic, perfect for any occasion!
