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

Sunday Thoughts

B

As the sun sets and Sunday slowly slips away, and as I dress the dining room table with a Christmas tablecloth for the holidays,  I'm thinking about the wonderful Thanksgiving that we had with our family and friends and thinking about all of you and wondering if you are home - safe and sound and filled to the brim with yumminess and sweet memories too.


I hope so.

D

I am also taking note of the little things that I need for my Christmas decorating, like white candles ...

C 

But mainly I'm thinking about how very blessed I am and how much I simply love being HOME.

Do you know that feeling?  

I hope so about that too.

I really really do.

A 

Love,

Kim

Hi Kim,
I love having a burst of RED shining through from your home to mine at the end of a very, happy, lovely day at HOME. Your RED warms my heart. We spent the holiday at HOME and we loved it. Today was beautiful here - sunny and 58 degrees. We both were outside - hubby working in the shed and garage and me stringing green garland on our front door. I am a home body - it makes me happy to putt around the house. Have a good evening at Daisy Cottage!

It's nice to get away for a bit, but, being home is best of all. :)

Hi Kim,
I love reading your posts and they always cheer me up, I am recovering from foot surgery and can't get around our home much to decorate so reading your posts and seeing your beautiful photos is helping me to smile. We love the same colors and so your home is very close to my heart.
Take care and enjoy your day,
Elizabeth (Home is Where the heart is)

Kim, I am an infrequent commenter, due to limits of time, but a frequent visitor. I adore your blog - it is a beautiful escape full of eye candy and peace, in pictures and in words. Thank you for providing a bit of beauty and sweetness whenever I need it most.

Hi, Kim! Glad you had a great Thanksgiving. I ate too much! LOL! But I had a wonderful time with Mr. Magpie. Our plans went awry, but that's okay because we had a very special date.

As to Christmas, I am hosting lunch at my house and then will go to dinner at Disney with the godchildren. Should be fun. I'm looking forward to that and to the other festivities around Christmas.

Sending you big hugs...

XO,

Sheila :-)

I sure do know that feeling Kim. My DH and I traveled in a motor home for a number of years spending winters to So Cal in another RV we have there. It was great seeing this beautiful country.
Now we are in Arizona in a home that I just adore. Sooo, this is my first Christmas in our new home and I am having a ball.
Thanks Kim for caring.

I love the feeling of being home and feathering my nest a little. I've had a nice weekend of beginning my Christmas decorating. Hubby and I went to the country to cut some fresh greens to decorate with. I love the smell of cedar for Christmastime. I also cut some magnolia stems, pine, holly and hemlock. I think it is really pretty mixed. I will make a nice spray for my mailbox with a big red bow!

Funny you mention that very thing, Kim. I was just thinking that yesterday as I put the final touches on m y christmas decorating up and the angel on top of my tree......how much I truly love being home.

I am so thankful for it all.

I hope this Advent season finds you happy, healthy, rested, full of joy and surprise.

I can't WAIT to see if you decorate your MINI Daisy Cottage too in holiday spirit! Yay! LOVE your doll house. Love, love , love!

Penny @ Lavender Hill Studio & The Comforts of Home

Good Morning Kim!
I love your vintage Christmas tablecloth. I started decorating this weekend. This year because I am still in the painting and remodeling stage, Christmas will be a little toned down. But you are so right...if feels great to be "home".

YES!!!!! There's NO place like home. Everytime I pull into the driveway of my little cream colored Cape Cod. I am so thankful to be HOME. I love it with its faults and imperfections and it's LOVELINESS to my heart. I am Dorothy with my own variations of ToTo. Happiness is really in my own backyard, and truly that's where I really long to be. :-) Love visiting your blog every day, Kim.

Hi Kim :)

I feel the same way. No matter how much fun I'm having somewhere else and no matter how much I love my family that lives far away... there's just no place like home.

I love your Christmas-y tablecloth :)

love YOU too!

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!
