On this, my 100th post, I want to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all of your visits to my blog and home! This has been such a blessing in my life, sharing these little things along the way with all of you like-minded souls. I appreciate each of you taking the time out of your own busy lives to pop in here, whether you are just visiting or leaving a comment behind..... it is all welcomed. I know that life can be REALLY hard and that we are all struggling with different things at different times and I am so touched that some of you have shared with me that your visits to Daisy Cottage have helped to brighten your day! I cannot ask for anything more wonderful than knowing that! YOU have lifted ME up with your grace and kindness and I hope you know how much you all mean to me.
I want to give a few of my "treasures" away to one of you in celebration of my 100th post. I picked a few things that I have blogged about, including this particular adorable apron because it is so "Daisy Cottage" and one that I love. So dear blogging friends, even if you haven't left a comment before, feel free to do so now and your name will be in the basket. My hubby will draw the winning name on Friday night. Come visit me on Saturday to see who won!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
xo,
Kim

I just found your blog a couple of weeks ago and I love it! I live a couple of hours away from you, I think, and I am so jealous of the wonderful thrift stores you visit - ours are nowhere near as "fruitful" as the ones you visit. :)
Congrats on your 100th!

Hi Kim,
I have really enjoy coming to blog. It has inspired me do some updating on my home.
I purchased my small ranch house about 5 years ago. I have very slowly been redoing it. When I purchase the the home it was stuck in the 1960's & 1980's. It was an one owner home until I purchased it. And they had done very little to the house.
I have so much to do & little time or extra money. But I still keep plugging on. My next project is pulling up 2 layers of carpet from the kitchen floor and repair the broken tiles where they placed tacking strips. I have not decided on what the new floor cover will be yet. I just know it will not be new carpet. This will be a big project & the kitchen will be in a mess or a long time.
Once again I wanted to say I have really enjoyed your blog. I just hope one day I will have may house feeling light & airy and pulled together as yours. Boy is it going to take a lot of work to get there.
