Always Room For Color

Whether it be freshly laundered napkins in a lemony yellow.....

Or three floral paintings done by three aspiring artists .....

Or an orange candelabra, because of course, orange fits right in at Daisy Cottage .....

Or an old cookbook with a colorful cover ....

There is ALWAYS room for thrifted treasures and a little more color at Daisy Cottage!

She Believed In Me

Img_8316_medium

She believed in me.

Img_8299_medium

She gave me the WONDERFUL opportunity to write my very FIRST article for a decorating magazine. And not just any magazine - THIS MAGAZINE....

Img_8307_medium

Please pinch me - and no, not because it is Saint Patrick's Day and I'm not wearing green, but because I feel like I am in an amazing dream and I am SO happy that it has come true....

Img_8321_medium

I wrote about a gorgeous and VERY romantic home that belongs to a delightful couple - Gene and Debbie LaFrance. You will love visiting their Maryland home. This spring issue is FILLED with beauty and lovely inspiration - delicious in EVERY WAY! AND several of our talented blogging friends are featured also! I hope that you can find "Romantic Country" on your newstands and if you'd like the chance to win a copy, please leave a comment on this post and I'll place your name into my daisy hat and pick the winner on Friday. I'll mail the winner one of my copies AND a little surprise too.  ;-)  Just my way of celebrating something so precious to me. I KNOW that you will LOVE this magazine that Fifi produced with her heart and soul.

Dear Fifi,

Thank you for this opportunity of a lifetime. There are no words to express how much I appreciate ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME.

Love,

Kim

Bunny Surprise

Img_8250_medium

Of course you recognize Daisy Cottage's porch.. but let me introduce you to Erin's porch....

Img_8271_medium

Erin is my friend and neighbor. Her home, along with her comfy porch swing, is one of my favorite places to visit. Her front door is always open to her family, friends, and neighbors. She has style in spades. One day I'll take a picture of her fabulous RED chandelier and share that with you too.

Please look at what Erin left as a surprise for me on MY porch......

Isn't this bunny SO SWEET?

I could just melt....

She even has a vintage hankie!

I just LOVE her! Thank you Erin!!! My Daisy Cottage bunny is absolutely adorable! Oh, and you can come visit her anytime! ;-)
