Five Star Frugal #19....Nesting and Dreaming...

I'm sorry for the late start. We had a family emergency that required my attention for several days.
Without further ado...here are this weeks features...
 
I'm a sucker for a cutie-patootie birthday cake made with loving Mothers hands...from Pastels and Macarons, this one is adorable...

Sarah at Sadie Seasongoods, never ceases to amaze me with her creativity. This quiver full of arrows as an Autumn door welcome, has me wanting to make a quiver and arrows all of my own...
 
All a Quiver- Autumn Door Decor
 
...and this Holy Moly Chicken has got the thumbs up three times in the last fortnight from the family here, so a well earned spot....

...and not forgetting the previous weeks features, which due to a strange and busy week with family, have not yet been acknowledged.
 
So here they are....
 
Carol over at The Red Painted Cottage got my attention with her Family Heirloom Cookbook...I have a soft spot for old cookbooks, and this one is no exception...

...Annabel from The Bluebirds are Nesting showed us how she stocks her pantry for free...

...and Liz from Howling at the Moon, shared her dreamiest ever dreamcatcher. I saw a similar one on Etsy, and it was nearly $100! Nice work Liz...

Thankyou everyone!

Please link your prettiest, thriftiest, cleverest, and most eye catching posts this week.

Let's talk about nesting and creating a haven for our loved ones.

Let's dream of how we can make our lives more cosy, just with a few tweaks, using what we have, and a bit of thread, or linen, or paint.

The rules as always...

1. Please follow A Tray of Bliss. I am here, on Facebook and Pinterest (as Mimi's Savings Secrets), and Google. Please also link back to A Tray of Bliss in your linked post.

2. Please share the love, and visit at least 2 other links. When I link at other blog parties, I like to visit the two behind mine, the two after mine, and two others that catch my eye. It's a good strategy, and I've made many new blogging friends this way. Make sure you leave a thoughtful comment and pin and share too!

3. Link as many times as you like, but please keep the content varied and refrain from linking previously used posts.

I can't wait to see what we all have this week!

Have fun!

....Mimi....

    Mimi- Hope everything is ok now with the family. Sending you good thoughts <3

    Thanks for featuring the chicken and you make me so happy making the meal for your family.

    We visited hubby's family this week and I made the chicken for them. You should of seen my FIL! He almost licked the plate clean - LOL. My MIL does not cook so this was a real threat for them and I loved that they enjoyed it,

    Thanks Mimi and I'm so happy I found your party. Thanks for hosting.

    hugs,
    Linda

    Mimi, I'm so sorry to hear about an emergency in your family. That's never a good thing, but I pray that all will be fine. Thank you for featuring my family heirloom cookbook. It's something I hold near and dear to me.
