It’s time for Feathered Nest Friday!

I’m working on a few projects over here and enjoying the beautiful warm weather we have been having.
Here’s what I shared this week~
I have been loving those lilacs we picked and took just a couple of the blooms
and placed them in a little antique bottle for a simple bouquet in my office
I also shared how I created the arched open shelves in the upper cupboards in my kitchen
French Bleu Vintage
is also having a giveaway on my blog ~ if you haven’t entered yet you can find the post
Commenting problems
Thank you so much for your kind emails about how you haven’t been able to leave comments on my posts.
I don’t know what changed a couple weeks ago but am guessing it is some kind of a blogger glitch again ~
I have had issues with commenting on other blogs as well.
I went ahead and changed the comment settings and format to hopefully fix the problem that
some of you have been having with it- I am leaving my comments moderated though
which means they won’t show up right away- but they will show up when I get them.

From the threads in the blogger forum- it seems like a lot of bloggers are having similar problems.
Hopefully, changing the comment setting will help and blogger will get it fixed.
Any local Northern California bloggers out there?
We are planning a bloggers meet up at The Vintage Bricoleur

Wonderful features, Courtney! I always enjoying seeing what everyone else is up to. Thanks for hosting!
Thank you for hosting, once again. I am off to check out this week's links!!
Hi Courtney, Thanks for the wonderful party. I linked up #27 a French settee slipcover tutorial. I thought of you when I was working on this, since I know you love all things French and white. Oh and I got some dining chairs at auction this week that remind me of yours. They are caned back and seat and they said "made in France" on them only it was written in French, not English.
Love that table in your office! I am in awe of your kitchen! Just gorgeous! Thank you for hosting and for joining me at Home Sweet Home!

thanks for hosting Courtney! I'm sorry you're having so much trouble with your comment box. I'm still glad you're on blogger though- it seems like it's harder for me to keep up with Word Press friends since they don't show up in my dashboard as well. Have a great weekend!
Thank you for hosting Courtney! Have a fab weekend, Nancy

Courtney,
You are one of my first found and favorite blogs 😉 Love getting featured here! It is a special treat. Thanks for sharing my kitchen cabinets. I am happy to be in such good company!! I love your open style ones too!! Hope the nice weather continues for you. We have been rain free for ten whole days =)
Great features, Courtney. I was very impressed with that painted rug, too. Thanks for hosting.
I'm glad you featured that tin with the lettering. I just got a bucket that looks similar and lettering would be just the thing. Great idea. Thanks for the party. There's always so much inspiration.

I LOVE all of your photos. I read what you said about trouble with blogger. I haven't had trouble like for months, but I did have a lot of trouble commenting for quite a while. What I have trouble with now is that since March I have not been able to send photos from my mobile phone to Picasa, except for a window of 3 days in the middle of that time period. I have given up and all but don't try anymore. It's so frustrating. Blogger acknowledge this problem on their trouble shooter page so I guess at least they are aware but it's apparently been ongoing for much longer that it's been a problem for me. It's so random…. Anyhow still in all I think it's a great service for free. I love my blogging.
Great variety tonight – I have enjoyed my visit! Thank you for taking the time to host.
