A Birdhouse For Daisy Cottage
We received a special "thank you" fee from Harris Publications after Daisy Cottage was photographed for Cottage Style magazine last year. I knew that I wanted to get something really special for our home with the money and I was willing to wait until I found the perfect thing.
And I knew that I finally found IT when I found her. Penny is an AMAZING artist and happens to be a sweetheart of a blogger too! I became enchanted with her mosaics and all of her artistic creations. I asked her if she would like to create a "Daisy Cottage Birdhouse" for me. Thankfully, she said yes, and Penny started working her magic right away....
Our VERY special and absolutely BEAUTIFUL birdhouse arrived on our porch yesterday and I immediately fell in love..
Look at the daisies! Isn't this just SOOOOO cute??!!
I am truly thrilled! Thank you, dear Penny, for capturing Daisy Cottage so perfectly!
Our special birdhouse will be cherished FOREVER!
If any of you are searching for that "special something", you might want to have Penny create a little magic for you too! I promise that you will LOVE IT! :-)























Oh Kim, it is SO perfect and so very Daisy!!! Penny is so sweet and so talented, I just love the things she makes :)
Hugs,
Dena

Hi Kim!
I was truly humbled and honored when you asked me to make something for Daisy Cottage. I enjoyed every moment of it! I really appreciate the nice things you have said about me in this blog post.
Daisy Cottage is a place I visit every day. I enjoy sitting here with my cup of coffee and listening to your beautiful music while I read the newest post. Thank you for letting me be a small part of your day.
Hugs,
Penny

Oh my goodness! That is one of the most beautiful, inspiring things I've seen in a very long time. I've made only a couple mosaic pieces, but that birdhouse makes me want to create one just like it. Thanks so much for sharing with us and I'll have to pop over to her blog! Blessings, Debra
