Five Star Frou-Frou #46...

image 
Hello all, and welcome to Five Star Frou-Frou!
This week, Amy from A Day of Small Things was a runaway with the tally for most clicks. She showcased her divine collection of vintage patchwork quilts. I don't know about you, but I am green with envy!
Three coats of white paint made the old cabinets look new and a carefully selected tile allowed us to keep the old counter tops in order to stay within budget. | A Chat Over Coffee
 Next in line was Leigh from A Chat Over Coffee. Leigh has been renovating and the results speak for themselves. Clean lines, and a new elegant look for her kitchen, all on a budget.

And finally, Gina at Victorian Wanna Be shared her stunning collection of replica Titanic dinnerware and genuine Titanic flatware. I think for any of us, the memories of the lives lost on the Titanic, remains a poignant one. I found myself wanting to reach out and touch the plates and beautiful silverware to see what stories they would tell. How special.

Thanks to all for sharing, and please make certain to make our guest features feel special by visiting and commenting.

Frou-Frou

Meaning: Frills or other ornamentation

Origin: French, late 19th century

Imitative of the sound of a woman walking in a dress

In my imagination, this linkup is like a weekly gathering of friends, swishing around in stylish dresses and frou-frou. We all love to entertain graciously, live elegantly, dress beautifully, and gift generously, no matter our budget.

Like any regular gathering, we like to make sure we acknowledge newcomers, say hi to old friends, and share our most engaging news. Please do this...it's lovely for us all to have a new friend stop by.
 
Here are some rules on how to be a good linky guest...

1. Please follow A Tray of Bliss. I am here, on Facebook and Pinterest (as Mimi's Tray of Bliss). I now have a closed group on Facebook with the same name, and we share lovely ways of living elegantly without spending a lot, so send a request to join and you're in!

2. Please visit new friends, revisit old ones, and leave comments to show your appreciation of their work. We all love that. Everyone works hard on their projects and writing, and if this is a party, then you need to mingle!

3. I'd also love it if you'd link back to A Tray of Bliss somewhere on your page. That helps the linkup to grow. The more beautiful bloggers we have linking, the more comments and visits for all of us. Thankyou friends, both new and old, and Welcome!

The collection has closed. Let other people know about it through twitter.

    Hi MiMi, thank you so much for featuring my Titanic post! I will give you a shout out in my next post. I wanted to correct you on something though. :) The Titanic plates are replicas I bought at a Titanic traveling exhibit. The silverware is authentic White Star Line though. :)
    Thanks again and have a wonderful weekend!
