Peek-A-Boo!

I miss you! :-)

It is still 2007, but I thought I'd pop in here to say hi and share a few things with you...

He is definitely NOT a "thing", but this is my hubby and no, he wasn't Santa - although he certainly WAS Santa to me this Christmas! He definitely spoiled me! His favorite thing to do when he isn't spending time with his family or caring for Daisy Cottage is to go fishing...

The man who works SO hard to make all of my dreams come true...

"Mr. Daisy Cottage" - Kevin

On Thursday, my friend Gina whisked me away to beautiful Anna Maria Island for some ocean eye candy -

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch of fish and chips -

Do you see our Florida "snow"?    ;-) 

It was so nice to chat and linger over our lunch while breathing in the ocean air BUT we had some shopping to do, so off we went to this wonderful shop!

I bought THE CUTEST little "granny" stool for the granny room and this painted sign for our fence -

As you can imagine, we had sooooo much fun! Thank you for taking a peek too!

xo,

Kim

You take such great pictures, Kim, and must always have your camera with you.
You made me homesick for Florida "snow". I spent a lovely New Year's Day on the white sand beaches a few years ago, actually dipping my toe in the Gulf and thinking of all the poor souls in Iowa suffering from the cold weather.
Wishing you peace and joy in 2008!

A day well spent! I would love to spend some time in that shop. Here in Nebraska we have the real stuff on the ground. Brrrr! I looked at the link and they say they'll ship anything anywhere but they only have the one picture on the links to look at. Too bad they don't have lots more pictures so you can see what they have to offer.

I want some of that Florida "snow". I'll send you some of my NH snow-God knows I have plenty to share! You have a cute hubby there. Not as cute as mine but still cute. Happy New Year Kim.

[Teresa]

Beautiful pictures. Looks like a wonderful time spent with someone you love.

Thanks for peeking in.

We got to Florida Thursday from Michigan and I am loving your "snow" as opposed to the cold wet stuff we left behind. Happy New Year!

[Daisy Cottage]

Elizabeth thank you for reminding me that I needed to add a picture of what I bought!

Kim,

That shop looks like a perfect place to be visually over-stimulated and spend hours looking at every..little..thing!

I've missed you, Kim, and wondered what you've been up to. Should have known you were doing fun stuff. That shop looks like it has some great things! Hmmmm...I think we need to get your fishin' lovin' hubby with my fishin' lovin' hubby. My hubby has a huuuuge boat that he likes to take out offshore in the Gulf to fish for grouper, hog fish, mackeral etc. and he's always looking for somebody to fish with. And while they fish, you could teach me the finer points of thrifting!!!! LOL.

Good to see you Kim, I've missed you too! Sounds like a fun day! That shop has soooo many goodies. Happy New Year to you :)

Hugs,
Dena

Those Chips look yummy!! Thanks for sharing pictures of your hubby with us...he is very cute...and quite the fisherman. When we go visit my inlaws in Foley, Al I must meet...you...my DH and Father are big fisherman....it would be such a great time....we will have. Happy New Year to you!!

Hi Kim, It's always so much fun to "vacation" at Daisy Cottage while we're freezing our, um, primroses, up here in New England. Have a great New Year with that handsome hubby.

[Rosemary]

Hi Kim,
Your are blessed with your wonderful family~Your photos make me home sick for our home in Florida, Palm Beach Gardens, I will be going down in February. Our other home is on Long Island and it is a bit nippy! Thanks for always sharing your home and family with us. Hugs, Rosemary

I've just discovered your blog and just love it. I'm seriously addicted. Love your beach picture since it's about 35 here in the midwest. I lived by a beach in different states for 20 years and sure do miss it's beauty. The pictures of the shop you visted are wonderful. I'm still looking for something like that here in St. Louis. Thanks for sharing with us.

[Alison Gibbs]

Hi Kim We go to Longboat Key the week before Christmas every year. We drove down to Anna Maria Island for dinner one night at The Waterfront restaurant, but I didn't know about that wonderful shop. Next year I'll go there for sure. Did you get the fish & chips from Rotten Ralph's? We drove through part of St Petersburg on the way to a quilt shop I like and as we were driving through a lovely old neighborhood I thought wouldn't it be a coincidence if this is where Kim lives? I think it was called historic Kenwood or Kingswood. Anyhow enough of my ramblings! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and a blessed new year. Rhondi :)

[Kathryn Bechen]

Hi Kim,

Happy New Year! What a handsome hubby you have and what a charmed life you lead with your sea island jaunt and beautiful lunch and shopping with a friend. You are truly blessed.

Love, Kathryn

[Karen]

I want to live where you live! You always seem to have the greatest places to shop in your area. But I would miss the change of seasons and the snow that we have in PA.

[Penny @ Lavender Hill Studio]

Mr Daisy Cottage is a handsome fellow!! It looks like you had a lovely day with your friend. I haven't been to Naples in about 5 months now and I am starting to miss the beach! Maybe that's why I just finshed a beach cottage chic mosaic buffet :-). The shop looks like alot of fun.
Hugs,
Penny
