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 Francesca!

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 Rue!

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 Rose!

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
Thank You Tracy!

So pretty, Kim! I'm so enjoying seeing your house all decked out for Christmas...perfect colors for that cottage of yours. I really love those Santa boots you've collected. I really must get out there & look for more of some of those old things. I just haven't had much luck at our thriftstores, the prices aren't as good as yours seem to be.
Christmas hugs! Karla at Karla's Cottage is having a party today, so go & check out everyone's holiday cheer.

Dear Kim: I always enjoyed my visits to your lovely site. Everything is so perfect!
Christmas is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace…
Enjoy the Season

You have one of the neatest houses ever. I bet you never get tired of looking around at all the cute things you have. I especially love the red stuff, but that frosted "JOY" is really beautiful!

I think my parents must have been thinking about Christmas when they named me Joy....
Have a merry one....

I think "JOY" is my word for this year! It has been a very good one, after a truly awful one. And having you as a blogging friend is a big reason that this year is so full of joy!!!

Hi Kim,
Was a quick day shuffling my teenager around for appointments, etc. Your vignette is a very nice way to end a busy day and give thanks for being home & cozy again. Joy indeed, thank you!

I love your post of 'becoming a mommy at christmas time'. I had two babies at christmas time...my second child, first daughter was born the day after christmas, December 26...she was named holly noel. Two years later we had another girl on CHRISTMAS DAY! she came a week early, unexpected, and so fast that she was born on the way to the hospital in our truck, delivered by my hubby. She was named grace elisabeth. So very special, both of them.

The beaded purse is beautiful. It is such a gift to take pretty non-Christmassy things and mix them up to become a Christmas scene. Beautiful.
Posted by: SarahJ | December 13, 2007 at 05:02 AM
You have a great Wednesday too, Kim! (Oops--today is Thursday! HEE!) I love all of the RED all over your house...it's one of my favorite colors too! It just so happens that it looks great for Christmas as well! :)

I love red, and I love how you use it!
I think that is a Christmas stocking in the
foreground, with beads and sequins?
I once heard someone mistakenly saying
"Seagram's" instead of "sequins"...lol!
Joyfully,
