Summer Fun on Happiness is Homemade Link Party

Welcome to this week’s Happiness is Homemade Link Party. We’re excited to see all of the links this week.  So many great ones were shared last week, I am sure it was hard for Carol (June’s hostess) to pick a few for this week’s features. 

I lied ~ well, not intentionally. Last week I told you that it was my last week to be hostess. Then I was reminded that I am also hostess for the month of June. (Do I hear a woo~who or groans?) So here, I am ~ back as your hostess for Happiness is Homemade Link Party 273. 

We hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Now we turn our attention to summer and all the activities ahead: summer entertaining, camp, the lake, the beach, picnics. Father’s Day is in 2 weeks. (My birthday is in less than 2 weeks, but you don’t have to put that on your calendar.) Then July 4th is in a little more than 5 weeks. O.K., I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s enjoy the first week of June.

Let’s kick off June with sharing, linking, Pinning, and saying hello to new blogger friends. During June, I’ll be looking at posts that celebrate summer. I hope you will too.

Happiness is Homemade Link Party 273 Features of the Week

This photo from Jamie at So Much Better than Age immediately drew my eye. I love how she styled her mantle for the summer with peonies. Jamie’s photography is gorgeous so enjoy the scenery.

Heading outside, I love the summer blue and white tablescape theme from Jenn of Clean and Scentsible. I would rather enjoy dining outdoors anytime and seating at a pretty designed table makes the experience even more lovely.

If you have a picnic on your summer agenda, then you definitely want to check out this post from Jennifer at Busy Being Jennifer. She as a great list of essential picnic supplies for you.

Whether you are going to the lake, the beach or your neighbor pool, you need something cute to carry your essentials. Ashley from Yarn Scissors Silk gave this plain woven tote an upscale look with some DIY magic.

If camping is more your summer thing, then you want to check out these recipes for camping from Michelle at The Scrape Shoppe Blog. Everything tastes better outside, right?

Hope you enjoyed all goodies this week. Keep those summer ideas going. And please visit your hostesses this week.
