cottage fix Friday flowers from that more than fabulous day!

Happy Friday! Yes, I’m still carrying on about that more than fabulous day. I really just want to savor it, ya know. These are the beautiful flowers my sweet Honey brought me last week. It’s been a full week and they look even better than when he first gave them to me, that’s one of the great things about carnations.He cracks me up. He always is sure to get long stems, baby’s breath, and what he calls the “green filler”. […]

shabby chic details and that more than fabulous day!

Salutations Cottage Fix Crew? How are things? I’m doing just peachy for the most part, but let me tell you about last Friday. All in all it started off good! I got my workout wrapped up first thing that morning, I took Paisley for a walk around the loop, and then headed out to tackle a list of chores—a list that included the fancy grocery store. So things were all ready going good. It wasn’t any single event that day […]

cottage fix collecting and garden blooms

Why hello there Cottage Fix friends! Today I’m talking bottle collections and garden blooms. Nothing takes me to my happy place like a garden full of Spring color and the scent of a freshly cut lawn. And bottles and blooms together are pure eye candy I’d say. I started my bottle collection over this past winter, kicking it off with a variety of recycled soda bottles and jam jars. They look so sweet in a grouping on there own or […]

a sweet little vintage mirror in the stairwell

Salutations! I’m blogging in today with a sweet little vintage mirror I hung in our stairwell. Its unique shape and etching detail makes it quite the looker. I was so nervous about this! Not the mirror exactly, but the hole I was about to hammer into my freshly painted plaster. Yikes! This pretty little mirror sat in the living room for a week or so taunting me until I finally got out the hammer and went for it. Yes, I […]

cottage fix Friday flowers

Happy Friday! I just love Fridays, with the hope and promise of a relaxing fun filled weekend ahead. Oh yes, on Fridays I’m still in denial about the jam packed weekend schedules that lie ahead, the chores that pile up, and the never ending to-do list that most likely won’t receive any check marks. It’s all “have another beer” and bliss! Friday is quite possibly my favorite day of the week. We have flowers, so many flowers! I bought my […]

How to get that easy breezy cottage look on a tiny budget; 5 ways

When you think about cottage living, what comes to mind? For me, it’s casual, inviting, charming, and easily achievable on any size budget. You don’t need to break the bank to add a few simple elements into your space to give it an easy breezy cottage look and a welcoming feel. And you won’t wind up eating Raman noodles and can soup for months to afford the look; although I must confess I’ve been there, done that for a darling […]

pink roses for one of those Mondays

Good evening Cottage Fix friends. It’s been one of those Mondays that’s for sure! Take an already busy Monday and add a heaping cup of drama and you get my day. I was so out of it by the end of the day I added oil instead of milk to my cornbread recipe. I noticed as I was stirring and things started looking weird. I just gave it another go with a clear head. It’s looking and smelling good now. […]

cottage pillows and daffodils

Salutations! We’re in the midst of some lovely weather here on the East Coast with Spring rolling in. Our shabby little cottage with the overgrown garden is in need of some love. Farmer Brown and I worked out there all day Sunday, mostly weeding and planning. Always with the weeding and the planning it seems. Oh dear Cottage Fix friends, how we do love to make a plan. So we keep on weeding and planning. And year after year a […]
