Inspiration From The Blogasphere 8 - Recipes, DIY & Interiors

Lots of inspiration this week starting with a tour writer/artist/blogger/entrepreneur Jen Ramos fabulous Las Vegas home at her blog "Made by Girl"...



Amy Butler Hand Tufted Wool Rug - Coventry


A rug can subtly blend in with its surroundings making it cosier under foot, or making an artists statement such as the rug above by Amy Butler. Interior designer Lisa Ferguson of Decor Mentor has put together a fab post on tips for buying the perfect rug, room size, shape, colour etc, check it out at  Layla Grayce.

A delicious Fall recipe....

A lovely, rustic desert from Jenny Steffens Hobick - Raspberry and Blackberry Crostata using store bought crust/pastry.

And for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere with warmer days on the horizon....
.
A thirst quenching lavender lemonade from a delightful blog discovery,  "With a Grateful Prayer".  Please visit Lorraine's blog for her recipe to make this refreshing twist on home-made lemonade.


And now for a little "vintage" upcycling...

Burlap Pin Cushion in Ornate Vintage Silver Plate Cup
Turn a pretty antique egg cup into a pin cushion with a little burlap. The original idea comes from Cloth and Patina a lovely  Etsy store.  

Pretty tea cup candles, for instructions please visit Georgica Pond

Antique napkin rings and an old light bulb makes for a sweet vase, this idea comes from a lovely blog called "Charming Recycling" where Hanna  explores ways to re purpose vintage items.
