Five Star Frou-Frou #51...

http://viewfromagarden.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/for-sarah.html
 
Welcome to Five Star Frou-Frou and thankyou all for linking your gorgeous projects last week. From garden tips, to furniture makeovers, to pretty frou-frou of all kinds, it was a true feast for the eyes, as I call one of my Pinterest boards!
 
Thankyou to Cynthia from View From A Garden, for sharing her beautiful brooch and it's history. I love nothing more than jewellery with a story, so this post really won my heart.
 
After seeing this little guy on an online garage sale I knew he needed to be saved! See how I gave him a fresh new Rocking Horse Makeover | www.raggedy-bits.com
 
Thanks too, to Sam at Raggedy Bits for sharing her sweet rocking horse makeover, and the memories that go with it. You'll love it.
 
And finally, thankyou to Tarah at Grandmas House DIY, who is on a mission to restore her Grandmothers keepsakes and much loved furniture (both of them), and preserving them in their original state, for future generations.
 
My Grandma Eleonora's beautiful buffet gets refinished to become our entertainment center, furniture before and after @GrandmasHousDIY
 
 Please visit our featured friends, and show them some appreciation.
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.
 
Some gentle rules...

1. Please follow A Tray of Bliss. I am on Facebook and Pinterest (as Mimi's Tray of Bliss). I now have a closed group on Facebook with the same name, and we'd love you to join us.

2. Please visit new friends, revisit old ones, and leave comments to show your appreciation. 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 love it if you'd link back to A Tray of Bliss somewhere on your page. That helps the linkup to grow. The more bloggers we have linking, the more comments and visits for all of us. Thankyou!

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