Good morning Cottage Fix crew! We’re talking cloudy, dreamy, seriously puffy, just lay back and melt the day away bedding here at Cottage Fix today. The kind of bedding that beckons for a nap on a Tuesday afternoon. The kind of bedding that makes me wonder how bad it would really be for me to pick a fight with Honey just so I can sleep on a cloud in the guest room. Pretty bad… I know — I’m only joking […]

Happy Friday ladies (and gentlemen)! Things are getting back to normal around here now that we’re all thawed out. I enjoyed a very nice week with the kiddos since they had two days off from school and the other days half off for exams. One day we even all plopped out in the family room and watched two movies in a row, complete with hot cocoa. It felt super indulgent to be watching movies all afternoon on a Monday, but […]

Hola Cottage Fix friends! Have you heard about the East Coast storm they forecasted on the news? Well we’re right in the midst of it here on the coast of Virginia. We’re not getting hit nearly as bad as the folks up north, but the roads are covered in ice and snow. Our cozy little cottage is surrounded by a layer of icey cold. I went to the supermarket to stock up on supplies on Thursday, though I wasn’t really […]

Salutations! I hope all is going well with you as we head into a shiny new year. We’re doing just peachy I suppose, but I’m afraid I must confess to a bit of a struggle getting back into the swing of things after our long holiday. Apparently a full two weeks of late nights and even later mornings make it next to impossible to rise before the sun after the lazy days of vacation are over. So much for that […]

Hola Cottage Fix friends! Paisley the miniature schnauzer just turned two on December 13. Happy birthday sweet girl! All she got on her birthday were some extra table scraps so I wanted to do a little something more. I guess traipsing one decked out puppy around the ole cottage and setting her up for pictures is mostly for me though. She is usually such a great sport, but a little on the hard side to photograph today. Yesterday she went […]

Salutations! I’m blogging in today under sunny skies and crisp fall air. After two full days of showers and steady rain, the change is so welcome. This was my grandma’s dresser that she used in her sewing room to store fabrics and threads, buttons and such. I spent many hours plopped down on her sewing room floor watching her sew and flipping through her encyclopedia Britannica collection. Do you remember those? Now I wish I would’ve payed closer attention to […]

All good things going on here today. It’s my birthday, I’m showing off my birthday flowers, and there’s a winner from last weeks give-away. I had my son pick a number and he chose number two. Kelly from The Essence Of Home, it’s you. I hope you enjoy your new yoga mat as much as I do mine. I brought home pink and yellow roses for my birthday week. We like to claim the entire week, sometimes even the whole month. Hmm… I […]

What a long wet rainy day. Doesn’t the first Monday after the time change seem to go on forever! I always have a hard time adjusting to the time change, I’m like a toddler I guess. My internal clock just keeps on ticking — I’m hungry for lunch at ten AM and ready for lights out by 8 at night. Paisley is enjoying her new fall crochet sweater on this long soaker of a Monday. I couldn’t resist sharing it with […]
