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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

Happy Friday guys! It’s so beautiful here, it’s what everyone’s talking about around town. The sun is shining, the birds are busy, and the daffodils are starting to bloom. Glorious! If only we could send some sunshine to our friends down south who are getting pelted with rain and flooding!! For the first time in a long while, I don’t need to report on something that’s broken or burst. Believe me, I’m knocking on wood and crossing my fingers as […]

Good morning Cottage Fix friends! I’m blogging in today under beautiful blue skies and the promise of mild sunny days for the remainder of this week. Yes, Spring is in the air and it’s time to get things going—or bust. I had a bit of a cheat in the hallway here with this light and airy white paint. I hired my dear professional painting friend to paint it for me, you know with the super high ceilings in the stairwell […]

Happy Saturday Cottage Fix friends! The little shabby cottage that could has sprung a leak. Ya know, that’s the thing about living in old houses… it seems there’s always something in need of fixing. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live in a shiny new abode where everything is shiny and new. But from what I hear even the brand spankin’ new homes start needing little projects here and there in no time at all. So if […]
