Monday Social #26


Welcome to Monday Social #26

Did you remember to

S P R I N G  F O R W A R D ? 

No, not spring forward into Spring Break.
No, not spring forward into Spring... that is next week.

Spring forward by changing the time on your clocks.
If you forgot before now, then it is an hour later than you think
in most of the United States.

The hostess this week is 

Judith at Botanic Bleu 






My post in a weekly series, 

French Design on Friday,  

is about French style topiaries in the garden and how to get a similar look.


Each Friday I share a photo taken in France and show how to translate that look to create a

French-inspired garden and home.

Here's a peek at what the other two Monday Social hostesses shared this week. 


Eilis shared photos of spring in the Dallas Arboretum. 




Katie is ready for St. Patrick's Day with this adorable 
green and white checked shamrock pillow.  




Now, for this week's linking party...


Monday Social
is a social gathering of friends where we connect with others by visiting them on 

Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or a Blog.  

That's right, you do not have to write a blog to participate in Monday Socials.
You can also link photos from Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest.

Find the addresses for your friends' sites, and 
link your addresses for friends to find. 

Each Sunday at 4:00 p.m. party goers link up photos from one of four sites, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and/or a Blog.  


*****
Thanks for joining us last week for Monday Social. 
We had a wonderful time visiting your links that you shared.

One quick reminder... 
Link YOUR specific PHOTO not just your general social media site. 



This week's features... 

Cecilia at My Thrift Store Addiction shared a photo in Instagram from Texas Antique Week aka Round Top Antiques Week. 
If you have never been to this venue for antiques, put it on your bucket list. 






Katie at Preppy Empty Nester hosted A Luncheon For Some Lovely Ladies
Her blue and white table is a beautiful setting for the incredible, edible menu. 





Carol at Bluesky Kitchen got out of her kitchen and took us along a shopping trip to highlight three trends in Spring Home Decor. 






Debby at Debby Goes Shabby found a hand painted vase for Spring flowers at Goodwill. 
Baby chicks and golden daffodils...  





See all these features on our

Pinterest board, Monday Social Features.
