Hello World! Boy, am I glad to be back with you after my hard drive misadventure! My pretty MacBook Pro took a tumble and the hard drive was damaged! Boo! However, we were able to recover ALL data off of it!!! Thank goodness! I was a bad girl and didn’t back it up. So, I got a new computer and spent last week getting reorganized. My MacBook Pro will be just fine. We will have the hard drive replaced and she will be as good as new! Lesson learned! Back, back, back it up!
Before we get to the features and the party, I have two announcements for you! Back this week by popular demand will be:

Stop back by Wednesday night at 8:00 PM to add your Before & After projects! And, on Friday at 8:00 PM, bring all of your blue to the Anything Blue party! It can be any photo with blue in it (family friendly of course). I hope to see you there!!
Alright, let’s get to the matter at hand. Welcome to Week 191 of:

Kathryn, I’m so glad I found your gorgeous and inspiring blog. And thank you so much for featuring my peach scones! I’m flattered to be in such fine company with all your other features. About my link today: When I find a kitchen-related item that I love, I like to share it with my readers. My post is not advertising; it is a giveaway. I hope that’s okay.
You are very welcome! I’m not picky. Feel free to link up giveaways. Happy week to you! Thanks for joining me again!
Great party …. love all the features. Thanks for hosting.
Happy to see you, Audrey!
Oh no, not the computer! I once lost almost all of my pictures when I did a hard shutdown on my macbook. I may have literally cried about it because I also had not been backing it up. Lesson learned the hard way. Thanks for hosting a great party Katheryn. I’m glad that you are back online so to speak, and I hope you have a great weekend.
xoxo,
Sarah @ Gypsy Girl Revivals
Oh, Sarah, I feel for you! Computers are a love/hate relationship. Blech! Thanks for joining me. Happy week to you.
Kathryn, well, you’ve immersed me in Halloween and autumn with these photos. It still doesn’t feel like fall in Florida but I need to decorate. By the way, the French Peach Scones look delicious — perfect for a cool morning. Thanks for hosting this very enjoyable party.
It doesn’t feel like Fall yet here in Texas, and I won’t be decorating until this weekend. There’s always so much to do. Anyhoo, thanks for stopping by!
