I finally made it into the attic and my son helped me unload way too many boxes of ornaments and lights. The front garden is all lit up with white twinkly lights, make that halfway lit up since I ran out of twinklies about halfway through the front bushes. And so it begins… I found the tiny silver ornaments in the attic and my daughter decorated the tiny little tree in the entry to our living room. It was kinda […]

Salutations! I’m in the midst of some serious cabin fever here at Cottage Fix with the little lady still home recovering for another whole week! Thank you all for the well wishes that were sent to her last week. So to keep myself occupied, and to prevent myself from going completely stir crazy, I’m diving into a day of foofing for fall with a natural bouquet of camellia, roses, and a few yellow maple leaves. Look at them glow! The […]

Hello there Cottage Fix friends! I’ve been infusing our cottage with color using these lovely vintage quilts to make things happy all around. I’m home here all week with my daughter while she’s recovering from her second ear surgery, which turned out to be more intense and invasive than the surgery she had on her other ear this past summer. She’s a trooper though, she never ceases to amaze me. So I’ve been making lots of mac & cheese and […]

Salutations! How’s everyone? I’m feeling… well, pretty great over here! A couple of days ago my package from Mary Alice arrived all done up cute with blue and white string and topped with a couple of vintage keys. Mary Alice is just so sweet, come to think of it all of the decorators, chefs, DIY-ers, and followers of blogland are really some of the nicest people. Can you imagine how wonderful it would be if the real world were more […]

Salutations! It’s not everyday that I have an excuse to splurge on a bouquet like this, but last weekend this beautiful assortment of fresh market flowers fell into my shopping cart and followed me home! What could I do but take a few photos? Umm…there’s a slight chance I even went a little picture taking crazy! Pink roses on the patio. Tiny daisies in the guest room. To display flowers in a straw bag just add a small jar of […]

Salutations! It’s nonstop rain here today on the East Coast, which I don’t mind. I like the odd rainy day as long as it’s sandwiched between several days of sunshine. I’m not sure why we correlate rain with romance, but it’s lovely. Doesn’t a cup of morning coffee seem to taste extra delightful when it’s raining out? Aah, a hot cup and a cozy knit throw on a soaker of a morning is pure bliss. Paisley on the other hand […]

Hello there! Thanks for popping over today to share in my latest obsession, my love of a white painted cottage. Give me light, bright and airy! Give me white! It’s not really a new obsession I suppose, but it’s one I try to put out of my mind for the fear I might actually take things to the next step and get out the paint brush. Ever since I painted the sun porch white, I’ve been completely over the moon […]

Salutations fine friends of blogland! What a crazy weekend we’ve had here in the little cottage we call home. Where life either goes full speed ahead or seems to tick by so slowly that you could watch the leaves change right before your eyes. This weekend we’ve had a bit of both. It was Honeys birthday on Saturday and we’ve had a lot going on with a pizza party and honey out in the yard all day. He spent his […]
