I spent some time yesterday, puttering around in my office and placing my CHERISHED notes and cards from you on this memo board that I got from Home Goods last week..... and because I am SO BLESSED with THE sweetest readers and blogging friends, I quickly realized that I need to go back and get another board so that I am able to display each one that I have received as I have kept them all. (((hugs))) And, because it was obviously "Spoil Miss Maggie May Week", I also splurged on this black & white polka dotted bench for her to relax on when I am working in here...(she can't jump up on regular furniture as she is very very bow-legged... shhh, don't say anything as she is sensitive about that) ;-)
Because I was busy, she WAS very content to lounge in style - but I know that as soon as I sit down, only my lap will do!
Oh, and can you see the cute "K" tag hanging with the notes?
Karla made that and sent it to me! Thank you Karla!
I am so glad that your VERY special notes and cards to me are no longer tied up with a bow, but displayed on my office wall so that I may think of you and THANK YOU each time that I glance that way.
I love your noteboard :) The little daisies are so cute!

What a great idea to display your personal notes! You should get a nice warm feeling each time you glance at them :o) Love, love, love that doggie lounging bed. Just toooo cute and of course, the sweet pooch is adorable and I wouldn't dare mention her bow legs, lol. I really enjoyed my visit. Keep up the great blog, Diane

Great noteboard!
And what a good idea to hang up your notes like that. It's such a blessing to see things like that out in the open, a reminder every time you pass them of your friends' thoughtfulness :)
God bless :)

The bulletin board is adorable, but omg, look at Miss Maggie on her snazzy bed! My cats and dog are jealous!

Ah, Maggie, you are loved and happily spoiled!!
I have also wondered, Kim, what your office is like (could you post more pics, pu-lease?!). I think it's fun to see the actual computer where all this great blogging is created.
The bulletin board is wonderful and I especially noticed that you used buttons as tacks. Was that a project of yours? Great idea!
Have a happy weekend.

I love the board full of special notes. Wish I could stop by and see Miss Maggie's wonderful lounging spot. She's a very lucky dog! It's perfect for your place. ~Adrienne~

What a great idea and how wonderful to have all of your cards displayed to remind you of the those who love you! I think Maggie appreciates your love!!! Sweet little girl.

What an absolutely adorable bench and how lovely for your special girl to have her own spot.
That's a clever way to display the blogger love too...I have a treasure box I keep those kinds of cards and notes in...but...I like this idea to see them all the time. hmmm

What a good place to keep all those loving notes. Love the red rickrack and Miss Maggie's new couch is cute (although she looks a little sad - no place like mommie's lap I suppose)!

Perfect sofa for little Maggie!

Kim,
I love your new creation...the bulletin board looks fab...and of course I noticed you have Daisy pins...and the red ric-rac is especially a nice touch!
Your Maggie is one lucky little lady...and I'm sure she deserves every ounce of love she gets...she's a doll...and what expressiosn she has...really you should think about getting her an agent...she could make millions in Hollywood!! I wish I could find something big enough like that for our Maggie...she doesn't sit in my lap...thank goodness...she'd break my legs...but she does love laying right beside me when I'm in my office, too...she needs a throne or majestic doggie bed...I'm going to have to come up w/something clever. I did see one time where a lady cut the legs off a low back wooden chair she had...she made a cute pillow w/a big ruffle on it...and she used it as her dog bed...it looked like a little throne....hmmmm...I'm going to have to find something...
Thanks for sharing...

Maggie is a fortunate pup!

The beautiful thing about receiving hand written notes and letters is that you have something tangible to hold, feel and look at again and again. The board is a wonderful way to enjoy thoses notes every day.....
Sweet dog bed too!

Posted by: marge | August 26, 2007 at 03:37 PM
Kim,
I have a note board too, getting a bit full, have to move some along to a scrap book.
COGRATS TO YOU!!!! Saw your cute little yellow house in the new ROMANTIC HOME MAGAZINE, AS A MUST VISIT WEB SITE. Good for you.
Oh boy a vintage store right near you, how nice is that?? I have to go to the thrift near me at least twice a week, always come home with good stuff. My house shows it too. Lots of good stuff.
Love looking at your blog.

Love the bench and your letter board. Maggie looks adorable lounging on it.
Posted by: Sara Duckett | August 26, 2007 at 07:01 PM
That is such a sweet display, Kim. Most of us don't write things much anymore, so those are treasures, I know. Love your new board, it's perfect for your hand-written notes.
Maggie sure looks content on her cute little bench. Perfect for her little self!

What a lovely memo board full of love! Friends are indeed blessings to cherish. The polka dot bench for Maggie is adorable.
Posted by: June | August 27, 2007 at 06:28 AM
SOOO cute!! (And it made me smile that my note is up there - of COURSE I looked for it!) Maggie's bed is adorable!! Our dogs (we have two Airedale terriers - one large and one extra-large) are not civilized enough for such a cute bed. Amybe I need another dog. :)

The bulletin board is a great idea and you made it stylish as well! The bench for Maggie though is better than my couch, it is so cute!!! She has to be the most pampered dog I know.
Posted by: angela | August 27, 2007 at 01:40 PM
I love it. I just love it! Every eensy teensy detail. It's all fabulous, Kim.
Posted by: Lallee | August 27, 2007 at 05:43 PM
Your ofice is awesome! I have an office too, but mine is really a very small room, and not nearly as comfortable and sweet as your's!
Posted by: oakwindfarm | August 28, 2007 at 07:33 AM
What a fabulous office. You have inspired me to straighten up my office. I'm not saying I'll do it--but you have inspired me. :-) --Susan

It's a beautiful & cozy spot.....I love your style. What a neat way to display all you notes too!

I LOVE your use of polka dots and checks!!!
Posted by: beachy | August 28, 2007 at 03:14 PM
I'm glad to see the double knob look on your cabinet. I was thinking about doing that on my china hutch Stella. The pulls I need should be 5in pulls.......that is so hard to find! So I thought I would just do single knobs......wasn't sure how they would look and tada.....there was your post!
Posted by: kim in Camas - ScrapToMyLu | August 28, 2007 at 10:13 PM
Kim your office is just precious, just like the rest of Daisy Cottage!! Where did you get the cute poka dot bench for Maggie?? I just love anything with poka dots!! Have a geat week!! Can't wait for your next post!!

Hi Kim! Can I just say how green with envy I am looking at your gorgeous office space! I don't think I could get much work done in there though, I'd be too busy day dreaming...... & ooohh-ing & aaahhh-ing over everything.lol I adore Miss Maggie's new lounge too, my little Paris Fifi would love to snuggle up on there!
Posted by: Amanda (aka Cottage Contessa) | August 29, 2007 at 07:10 PM
Kim- Seeing your office makes me want to come hang out with you and pour over all your books and treasures, all so artfully- arranged & in the midst of such delectable color and charm! I can tell you love your creative space as much as I enjoy mine.You are one talented (and equally sweet)lady.I don't stop by here often enough, but need to make it a point to do so! BTW, My neighbors adopted a new Doxie mix this week, and I immediately thought of you and Daisy! I'll get a photo soon

I haven't been able to visit you for awhile, I'm sad to say! Your blog is always a vacation for me. I love, love, love the polka-dotted lounging couch for Ms. Maggie! How sweet is that? Your board is adorable, and what a lovely homage to all your friends!
Posted by: Nan | August 31, 2007 at 06:57 PM
I am so impressed, yet again, how you displayed the treasures you found on our little shopping venture! LOVE the red ribbon on the memo board and so beautifully personalized with your "K" in perfect Daisy Cottage colors, of course! Miss Maggie looks like a little princess on her new lounge! It looks wonderful in there as does everythiing else in your office! Love it...love it...love it!!!
Posted by: Chrissy | August 31, 2007 at 09:10 PM
Kim, your office is just beautiful. I love everything about it - the colors, the furniture, the wonderful objects, the bulletin board. I really love the chair with the black and white checks, and of course the little bench for Maggie. Such a great space to be inspired in. Thank you for sharing it!!
