It makes me happy.

Let Your Home Be Your Heart
- What I hope for my readers and for all keepers of the nest, is that they embrace their homes with their heart and all of the passion that it holds. I want them to know that they can decorate on a limited budget by seeing things in new ways; by rescuing the broken and transforming the ugly. I hope that they flaunt their favorite color and decorate their life with it. I hope that their homes feel like one giant hug that welcomes them each and every time they walk through their front door. More than anything I want everyone to have their own home-sweet-home dream come true! xo, Kim

- Kim I just wanted to thank you again for allowing us into your sweet home! I absolutely loved being there and looking around with you. Your hospitality and sweet spirit make the home even more beautiful! Thanks for reminding me that one day I too will have my "dream come true!" ~ Ida - MOPS Member
Thank You Jane!
- "I just discovered your blog and am blown away with the comfortable, almost nostalgic feel of it...almost like finding a long-lost friend after many years apart...somehow familiar, but all so exciting and new." ~ Jane
Thank You Dena!
- "Kim, I love your blog. I so appreciate you sharing every day. I miss you when you're gone. Losing my dear sweet baby boy in Iraq has made me treasure life and those so dear to me. Reading your blog is such therapy for me. You have made me treasure the finer things in life that I use to overlook. Birds singing, flowers blooming, my home and all of the treasures within it. I'm not sure that I ever looked at a teacup or saucer and saw such detail and beauty in it." ~ Dena
Thank You Grace!
- "I would like to let you know what a joy it is to wake up each morning and read your delightful blog. I always feel as if you are speaking directly to me. Since I was diagnosed with an immune disease a year ago I wanted only to read positive and very inspiring blogs and your blog was the first I found. I think maybe the good Lord meant for me to find your blog and since then it has been nothing but smiles all around. I have tried very hard to stay positive about this disease and very up beat. I know that there is no cure and I have accepted this, but reading things with a positive message and filled with so much love helps. This is where you come in and I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart and to let you know how very much you and Miss Maggie are loved." ~ Grace

Thank You Kathy!
- "I visited my friends with their tasteful beige homes and sometimes questioned if there was anyone else in this world who loved the things I did. Then I found Daisy Cottage and a whole community of other women who shop the side of the road, paint their furniture fun colors, and aren't afraid to fill their homes with touches of whimsy and fun. What a relief! We aren't alone! I'm not alone. Thanks for all your inspiration and for confidently sharing your home and the idea that we can have fun with our decorating. I never get tired of visiting here Kim." ~ Kathy

Thank You Lenna!
- "My eyes have been opened to a world I never knew existed. Such vibrant creativity, such caring community: it literally takes my breath away. After so much loneliness and isolation it is overwhelming to me that such a world even exists. In time I hope to be able to fill my garden of life with lovely, loving friends instead of the weeds of loneliness. Until that time lace tablecloths will come out of storage, music and lovely scents will fill the air of this home. And I shall visit the Daisy Cottage when I feel despair raise its dark, obscuring head, for I know from experience, that it is ever lurking behind that next bout of pain and weakness. Your kind and generous response has strengthened my resolve, you have helped me more than you will ever know, my new-found friend." ~ Lenna

Thank You Lisa!
- "Here's how I can best describe into words how your blog made me feel. You know when you wake up in the morning and there's an early morning thunderstorm and every room in your house is as dark as night? Then, the rain and thunder stop and the sun comes shining through all the windows and you just know it's going to be a beautiful, sunshine day? Well, that's how finding Dear Daisy Cottage made me feel. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Kim. You blessed my day and may God do the same for you." ~ Lisa B.

Thank You Anne!
- "Thank you for your wonderful blog. I have been "lurking" but had to share with you how much you have helped me embrace the fun of decorating. I came to your blog looking for pictures to inspire me as I redecorate my house with cottage style. Today I was so tangled up in doing it "right" that it was really depressing me. I visited your blog again for some fresh ideas and came away realizing that there is no "right." Just me being me and enjoying my home! I am laying here in bed with tears in my eyes - tears of happiness that it is okay to be me and let that shine through in my house and what I wear and what I make with my hands. You are God's gift to me today and I thank Him and you." ~ Anne

It's so pretty, Kim! That would make me happy, too. I have a Ralph Lauren sheet set with a mint green background, but similar florals, and I just love it.
Posted by: Kathy @ Creative Home Expression | February 28, 2011 at 09:04 AM
Score!!! That bedskirt is lovely and is in just your colors, too. I can just imagine how deeply happy it makes you!
I never seem to get to our Goodwill store at the right time to find such a perfect treasure.
Hugs!

Posted by: WendyBee | February 28, 2011 at 02:07 PM
I have always loved that print from RL...and I
think you are one lucky lady to find it at GW!
I like having various colors of bedding to move
for the change of pace. Some of my favorite
photos are when Maggie snuggles in your bed.
I can so relate since I have a yorkie named
BeBe and she LOVES my bed when it is empty and
she can pull the covers around her!
Posted by: JolieAnne | February 28, 2011 at 02:37 PM
I love RL and this pattern is so pretty! Great find:>)
Posted by: Kathleen Grace | February 28, 2011 at 02:52 PM

As my very feminine, victorian grand-daughter would say...oh Nanna, you scored! So "oh Kim, you scored" and btw, thank you for supporting Goodwill, one of my bff's is the CEO of the Hawaii Goodwills, great non-profit!
Posted by: connie | March 01, 2011 at 01:24 AM
The best and prettiest $3 deal I've seen!!! Makes it kinda hard to stay out of the GW, huh? Happy hunting;)
Posted by: karen | March 01, 2011 at 08:08 AM
What a deal. Doesn't it just thrill your soul to find a bargain? It sure does mine. I just wish I lived closer to Goodwill stores and bargain shops. :-( oh well when I go to the city I really SHOP.
Hope your having a wonder-filled week Kim.
(((hugs)))

Oh my word whatta bargain, good job lady! It is beautiful!
Posted by: Michele | March 01, 2011 at 12:37 PM
WOW! It is so pretty, Kim! It amazes me that you
and so many other gals can go to your local thrift
stores and find such great items at terrific prices.
I go to mine and all I find is truly JUNK!! I know
one man's junk is someone elses treasures but I look
high and low on the shelves and still find nothing
that is worth dragging home!!! ;-)
Anyway, what a great find!! The colors are absolutely
perfect for you!
Posted by: Becky from Tennessee | March 01, 2011 at 02:14 PM
How beautiful and cheerful. It screams SPRING!
Posted by: La | March 02, 2011 at 07:52 AM
Gorgeous find, Kim! I am such a sucker for linens...and plates...and well, so much more...but especially linens. The bedskirt's a beauty!
Posted by: Lisa | March 02, 2011 at 02:28 PM
OMG! THat is SUCH a GREAT find! I must admit, I am a little jealous...it is darling and I love it next to the leggy yellow bedside table. That reminds me, my bedskirt is in the "to be ironed" pile...ugh! These great photos prompted me to get going on my ironing! THanks!
