Links I Love from October 2014

Is it just me or does it feel like the closer we get to Christmas the faster the weeks go? I can’t believe that we are almost up to the middle of November already! Before we get too much further into November I had better show you some of the great links that I found online from October 2014!

As usual the links focus on simple everyday things that cover interests such as crafts, gardening, and of course baking (I spend too much time looking at food blogs!). I love looking at these types of blogs because they pretty much cover the things I like doing!

So that I can provide a picture with the links (without stealing anyone’s photos) I always include a Pinterest pin for each link. That way you get to see what I am talking about and you can also ‘Pin it’ for later if you wish, as long as you have a Pinterest account. Alternatively, if you want to go straight to the content then I will also provide the direct link for that as well!

Anyway, here are some of the great links that I saw during October 2014!

I thought I’d start with one of my weaknesses which is apple recipes. I love a good apple cake so this Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake from Lori from Recipe Girl really caught my eye!

I also loved the look of this Vanilla Bean Yellow Cake from Nicole at Or Whatever You Do. It just looks so pretty and reminds me of the cakes that my Nana used to make.

Now that the weather is warming up it is good to try out some no-bake recipes. These Coconut Caramel Pecan Bars that I saw at Gourmande in the Kitchen looked really yummy.

The last recipe that I want to share is for Chicken Cordon Bleu French Bread Pizza!  I saw this recipe at Six Sisters’ Stuff and it had my mouth watering!

If you are into gardening like I am you will appreciate a good water saving tip. Last month Anne at The Micro Gardener shared 17 Water Saving Tips for Container Gardens – that will definitely be handy this summer!

I saw this post titled 10 Fun Things to Grow at The Home Grown Country Life and was intrigued. If you like gardening then you should check it out; I have 7 out of 10 growing in my garden!

Easy DIY vases are also popular in this house so I had to include this DIY Colorblocked Twig Vase from Real Housemoms. I think this would also look good done in a bright colour.

Finally I wanted to share this really cool Wine Cork Bulletin Board that I saw at A Beautiful Mess. I like this one so much it has definitely been added to my to-do list!

Well that’s it for now; I hope you liked seeing these great links from October 2014! If you want to see more great links feel free to check out my Pinterest page!
