This is my first visit to your blog, and it's simply gorgeous! I love how colorful it is.
I am enjoying your blog SO much! We are in the midst of house hunting and you are inspiring me to hold out for the one of a kind, diamond in the rough, enchanted cottage that I know is out there!!

Dear Kim
I went to the store and read the entire article you wrote, but didn't buy the magazine since I was sure I'd win:( Now I guess I'll have to go back and purchase it! It really showcased your talent for writing. How awesome for you. I hope you get many more opportunities like that!
Hugs, Rhondi

I love yellow too. I know this is something that we have in common. But I think you got me beat. I do not have a yellow laptop. That is bright yellow. I love it. Yellow and red complement each other so well. Love the textures and the designs that you use too. Have a wonderful day!

Hi Kim,
I just finished some embroidery tea towels -the towels are yellow and I put some red checkered trim on them. I said to myself, hum, this is so pretty and reminds me of something. It was your lovely home - the yellow and red said "Kim"!
Have a wonderful weekend.

This is only my second time here... I love your blog! The cheery yellow, the amazing flower photos, even your precious doggy, It's just a happy place. And the music? Perfect.
It's a relaxing sunshiny day for me to come here, even if it's 1 AM and I'm up because I can't sleep!
Have a wonderful week.

Your giveaway was fun! Your pictures are so beautiful and the music is soothing. Ahh.
I came across a golden bird in a garden shop today after work. They also had a large black wooden "V"...They're coming to my cottage where I have a gold bedroom with black furniture along with accents of blue and some red. I honestly wouldn't have allowed myself to notice these beautiful items if I hadn't been so inspired by you. Thank you Kim!

although I wouldn't feel comfortable with your colors in my home, I love coming here. I always leave smiling and with newer ideas~

I'm a bit slow to congratulate you, especially since it's about to be July, but I just discovered last night that Daisy Cottage was the June Cottage of the Month. :D Anyway, just to say that I enjoyed seeing all the photos and the one of you and your kiddos, too. Congrats on all of your wonderful achievements of late...I must get out more to find out what's going on!

Congrats to the lucky winners!! I love the color of your laptop! The curtain on the cabinet in that photo reminds me of the closets my sister and I had in our bedroom when I was young. We didn't have doors on them (it was a really old house, and I think my dad just sorta "made" closets for us)so mom put gathered curtains on them. Sweet memories.
