Feathered Nest Friday

Welcome to Feathered Nest Friday!!

French Country Cottage

How has your week been going?
It has been an incredibly fun busy week over here so I didn't get many projects done and ready to share  just yet but the cold weather has finally warmed up enough to enjoy being outdoors for a bit.
so I am working on an outdoor post and I will share more about what I have been up to  soon.
For now~
let's get on to the review and get the party started!!

I shared a post about 2 of the designers who inspire me 
and how they inspire me

and more about button tufting that bench I shared last week


Tons of gorgeous inspiration and great projects and designs at the party last week~
 here are a couple highlights.



Such a cute idea from Creative Home Expressions to put love letters inside a cloche 
for Valentines day

Love the French Country bathroom that Confessions of a Plate Addict shared


Just love this beautiful painted chair from One Creative Couple

A darling vintage Valentine village from Ella Claire

and such a romantic Downton Abbey inspired table setting

    Hi Courtney, can't wait to see what you are doing outdoors! Still so darn cold here. Coldest and most snow in years. We sure need the moisture, but I'm ready for warmer days! Love the features. Love letters under the cloche is such a fun idea. Thanks for hosting.
    Hugs,
    Jann
