Last Friday was indeed, dreamy.
Why?
Because Fifi and Mark showed up at Daisy Cottage's door...
And they waved their magic wands throughout our home, turning our yellow cottage into Cinderella for the day, with amazing talent and finesse....
Thankfully, the potted flowers were still alive....
And the threatening rain didn't dampen our day...
No, it was all just PERFECT. The shoot, the time together, the DAY.
Perfect in EVERY way.
Fifi, being silly in the kitchen.....
Well, maybe not perfect in EVERY way.. I am sorry to report that Miss Maggie did not do so very well.
Sigh. The doxie diva - the true poser - decided THIS was the day to be camera shy. Poor poor Mark.
No, she wasn't too happy with her moment in the spotlight - BUT, she was very happy to be back on my lap at the end of the day after we had to say our goodbyes....
It had been a very long week for this sweet girl - but I think she will forget and forgive me...
I, on the other hand, will NEVER FORGET this dream day - the memory will be in my heart forever.
Thank you Fifi! Thank you Mark! Thank you for giving Daisy Cottage AND us, the gift of YOU.
Love,
Kim
P.S. When the time comes for Daisy Cottage to be featured in the magazine you will be the first to know the details... thank YOU for sharing in this special day with me. You were here with me every second. ((hugs))
P.S.S.
I am really behind on my emails - please be patient with me, and hopefully by the end of the week I will be all caught up and will have answered your sweet messages - unless, that is, a little hurricane named Fay pays us a visit. Yikes!
P.S.S.S.
Do you see my new banner up there? The Amazing Amy, who always does my banners, created this for me... if you need a banner for your blog, please contact her - her link is on my sidebar - you will LOVE working with her. Thank you Amy girl!
Oh Kim, how very EXCITING! You inspired me to start my own blog! Here I was wondering why Fifi hadn't posted in a while, but now I know!
I know she and Mark were working their magic, but I don't know how they could improve on what I consider sublime perfection! I CANNOT wait to see this in the magazine, 'though I know they work months and months in advance.
Please tell Miss Maggie that Miss Little Bit feels her pain about "interlopers" clomping through her house. Little Bit confesses that she finds it truly dreadful, although she hates to be rude. It is almost as terrible as when that churlish bulldog Spencer passes her front porch.
Blessings to you,
Anne who usually lurks (my Indian name)

Hi Kim
I am so happy for you that you had such a wonderful time having Daisy Cottage photographed. That has to be one of those "dream come true "moments. I know it sure would be for me! Sorry to hear that Miss Maggie wasn't too happy about it. Can't wait to see it in the magazine! You deserve it!
Hugs, Rhondi

It would be so very neat to have a photo shoot at my house. With 5 kids I doubt it will happen for quite some time, but it would be an incredible experience!! I love the red dresser out front. Do you have to move it in during the winter or do you just leave it out? What kind of paint? I have planned doing something like that for our front porch but my husband insists it will get ruined. I love the look and you have a wonderful touch!! Maybe someday if you come to Alabama you can help me twitter about. :)

Ooh! How exciting. I can hardly wait. I know they loved everything.

Hi Kim and the adorable Miss Maggie! I can't wait to see the article (and pictures, of course) in the magazine! What a special time for you! I can't believe the ADORABLE Miss Maggie wouldn't cooperate.
She is a cutie, that's for sure. I do like your new banner.....I'm glad you kept a picture of Maggie on it. I hope "Fay" doesn't affect you. Here in middle Tennessee we don't have hurricanes (for obvious reasons) LOL! but we do have tornadoes so I'll be thinking of you. Give Maggie an extra hug and kiss from her friend in Tennessee. Becky

Congratulation! I love visiting and looking at your beautiful home and of course at Miss Maggie. It makes you feel happy. Everything looks wonderful and cheerful.

Posted by: Amy | August 18, 2008 at 10:49 AM
What a lovely day! I'm so happy your house will be showcased in the magazine. Didn't a different magazine stop publication before Daisy Cottage could star in it? Am I remembering right? Well, this time I'm sure Daisy Cottage will be the star - she looks fabulous!
Posted by: Jill | August 18, 2008 at 10:53 AM
Hey Kim,
Love your new banner! I noticed it right away. Cannot wait to see the magazine spread on your charming cottage. What fun.
Stay dry and keep that hurricane away!

Kim..that is great news...I love Daisy Cottage and it couldn't of happened to a nicer person or a more beautiful cottage. I'm sorry Maggie was being shy...we all know how beautiful she is. we love her anyways.
Posted by: Gabrielle | August 18, 2008 at 11:46 AM
Congrats on the photo shoot. It looks like it was a lot of fun and I can't wait for the feature to appear in the magazine!
We are preparing to batten down the hatches over here in St. Pete and will probably evacuate to the Plant City area if Fay swings out into the Gulf. My husband spent the weekend in the hospital and was just released this morning so I'm praying evacuation won't be necessary. Hurricanes and evacuation are never convenient but boy, right now is definitely not a good time!
Posted by: Shari | August 18, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Oh Kim everything looks so nice and I LOVE your new banner. I can't wait to see the magazine.
I hope Fay stays away, I have been following it on the news.
I have missed my daily dose of Daisy Cottage :)
All the best,
Kathy :)

Kim, Congratulations on your photo shoot! What an unforgettable experience. So happy for you. But let's get to serious issues--your new photo of yourself. You look absolutely beautiful and glowing. I love the hair color; it makes your face pop. The other picture I felt you were hiding somehow, but this one says "Look at me!". You go girl! Mona

Kim, you just do not know what happy dance I am doing for you! Well, you wouldn't want to see me dance but picture very, very gleeful ;-)I am so excited for you and Daisy Cottage, who was already a Cinderella thanks to you. I will eagerly await the publication. I'm glad it was such a fabulous day in the company of Fifi and Mark.
Thinking of you as I watch Fay. I hope she is much ado about nothing for both of us!
Hugs to you and Miss Maggie.....and I love your sidebar photo ;-) I told you that you were photogenic!

Having been so very blessed with a visit to Daisy Cottage myself, I just know that it was allll perfect! Hey, your flowers look great! Love the touches to the porch, too.
Now give Maggie a huggie from Doogs, Socks and I. Now if I lived down the street, Maggie could have come over for a day of fun with us. BUT.......well, you know.

Hi Kim,
Congrats on the photo shoot, I can't wait to see it in the magazine! I also live in Fl. we are in S. Fl. and we are already feeling the effects from "Fay", she is not very friendly, so far she has brought alot of rain to us and the winds are suppose to pick up tonight! Hopefully it won't be to bad, I hope for the best for West and Central Fl., she may be a hurricane by the time she reaches you!

Well, it's about time they put your home in a magazine!! I'm SO happy to hear the great news & can't wait until the wonderful day comes & we can go & buy it on the newsstand. Big congrats from me, one of your BIGGEST fans. So sorry Maggie didn't cooperate. Wish I could have been there & I would have held her all day while the shooting took place. I'm sure they wanted to capture her in the shots too...that would have been so much fun to watch!

Oh, Maggie, you poor little lady! But we cannot wait to see the magazine! And I'm sure mom will give Fifi a really good picture of you to put in so you won't be left out of the magazine layout!
By the way, Kim, I absolutely LOVE your new photo in the sidebar! It's gorgeous!
Congrats on the magazine shoot, what fun! Are you writing your own copy for this one?

Wow, I noticed the new banner immediately. It is lovely. I would be SOOO nervous at the thought of a photo shoot at my house. Of course, my house doesn't even compare to Daisy Cottage. I'll be watching for the magazine info.
Lorilee
Posted by: Lorilee | August 18, 2008 at 11:26 PM
WOW!! Kim...what fun you had to have...and how wonderful everything looks...as usual. I can not imagine how thrilled I would be if FiFi showed up at my house...I don't think she would come here to take any pictures of my cottage...it's just not where yours is in the "wow" factor catagory...but I do know I betcha I could have a great time with her...nonetheless...she looks like she's a blast...and she's about as cute as she can be...yep! fun and cute to boot!
One day after building my new place...maybe I can twist her arm to visit...but only if you and your Maggie will accompany her...I know all about persnickity dogs...especially the ones that think they are Princess Margaret...instead of just run of the mill "Maggies" ...our Maggie becomes a bit stressed with strangers around and starts loosing her hair...but once things are right in her kingdom...she's perfectly fine...once she gets a bit more attenion....she is still wondering where you found that lovely collar for your Maggie...I'm having trouble explaining to her...that not everyone has to have one of those...but she seems to be a bit snitty about it...and wonders when I'm going to find where and how much that little diddy cost. She's persistant like that...but she's worth it b/c she's quiet the cuddler! Have her write my Maggie and they can discuss these things....as important as they must be.!
Things look great...can't wait to see the finished product...I know it will knock my socks off...again, Congratulations!
blessings..

It would have been the perfect touch for the editorial. You will just have to send them one...I can't wait to see the magazine....Congratulations...!!!!
My precious girls traveled through your state from Miami today. I was so worried about them but they made it out just fine.

Hi Kim!
First of all, love the new banner. I'm going to go check out Amy's site (how fun).
Next, I cannot imagine what it must have been like with the two kindest ladies in Blog Land and with the prettiest houses together in the same space. I mean it.
Congratulations, Kim. What a heavenly issue for all of us to look forward to.
Maybe Maggie's got a little Diva in her ~ which is just fine.
Good things happen to good people all the time ;)

It sounds as though the photo shoot really was a dream come true. I'm so very happy for you and I can't wait to see Daisy Cottage in Romantic Country!

Hi Kim
I guessed it was Fifi coming to visit. Doesn't she look beautiful? Daisy Cottage must have been humming with excitement. What a lovely moment to treasure and I cannot wait for the issue to hit the stands in Australia. Miss Maggie made me laugh. Children and dogs never do what you want them to when you want them! Thank you for sharing the photo shoot with us. I feel as if I was there as well! x

I love the colors of your cheery delightful home. I will be anxious to see the magazine. What was it like the days before Fifi and Mark arrived? I know what it is like when we have company but to have my home photographed...oh I am not sure my family would survive it. I am a Florida gal too. Maybe I will bump into you at your favorite store.

Hi Kim!
I'm gone a week and come back and see you've changed the look of your blog - it looks great and you're going to be featured in a magazine. The shoot looks so wonderful. Poor little Maggie just didn't want them to see her little pretty face! Congratulations and I'll be looking forward to seeing your lovely home all magged out!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)

Sweet Kim,
I'm watching the weather channel tonight and it said it looked like Fay was headed your way. I hope you and your family are safe and snug inside Daisy Cottage.
(((hugs and love)))

Looks like she fixed up Daisy Cottage to be cute as a bug, but then again, it is cute as a bug every day. How much fun to have some special fluffing! Poor Maggie, can you blame her? She must've wondered what all the fuss was about.
Blessings, Miss Kim!
