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

I Spy Something Orange

B


Do you see something orange?  Do you see what I see in our front yard tree?

YES!  Fall in Florida has arrived!

AND the church pumpkins have also arrived down by our lake!


C


Fat wonderful quirky pumpkins!

I have one orange pumpkin on my red porch table, but knowing me - I'll be going back to the lake and adopting more, because, well - more is more!

;-)


G


But before I do,  I need to let this lady know that she won my soup tureen giveaway!


Rhoda truly is fabulous isn't she? I love what she did in her dining room and the all white peices are so classy. Love to be in the pick for the giveaway! Thanks Kim! You both are dolls! (Hugs) The Lady

Thank you so much!  Please email me your mailing addy and your soup tureen will be on its way!!

It was wonderful meeting ALL of Rhoda's beautiful friends - and thank you to everyone who joined in on the giveaway fun! 


A


I hope you have a FALLICIOUS weekend!  And maybe you will treat yourself to a pumpkin, or two?  Pretty please, with a crooked little stem on top?


Love,


Kim

Leaves are turning! I see the orange Kim. I see in the tree and on your porch. I love to go to the fabulous fall spectaculars in our area to see the color.
Congrats to "Lady of The House" for being chosen to receive the beautiful soup tureen. I am sure it will inspire you to create some great tasting soups and stews.
XO Nancy M.

Congrats to The Lady. Oh Him, please send the fall here to Northern CA. We do have some gentle breezes today which make me so happy but anything you can do to have a word with Autumn weather is much appreciated. I will definitely go out and get myself a quirky pumpkin or two this weekend. Your photos are charming as ever and have put Fall in my heart. Happy weekend!

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

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 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

  • "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!
