Daisy Cottage

Weekend Fun & A Special Request

My chores are done.  Now I think it is time to hang up my cute-as-can-be "Ingrid Apron" and have some fun!   ;-)

Daisy Cottage is all tidy and clean.  It is REALLY nice when your home is like that, isn't it?  When every room is in order at the same time.

 

I don't know about you, but that doesn't ever seem to include closets.  Sigh.  My poor poor closets.  I hope to introduce myself to them sometime soon.   

;-)

I also hope you are able to have some fun this weekend - whatever that may be.  I hope that is your happy reality.

As for me, I will be spray painting a mirror red and going to the The Fancy Flea.   

And of course I will take you with me.

Can you do me a BIG favor?  Pretty please with daisies on top? 

Go here  (click on the word here) and watch a friend's video that her beautiful daughter, Anna, made.  Anna has diabetes.  And if you are so moved, please select the "Like" option at the bottom of the video to help her win a contest that will benefit her immensely. That is all we have to do - click "Like" and we will have done a teeny tiny thing to help a young girl SO VERY much. And today is the last day that we may help her in this way. 

THANK YOU.

Your Turn

The sun is saying Good Morning and fresh coffee is brewing.

And I have cake.

And this piece is for you.

Now, what shall we talk about today?

You go first.  What's on your beautiful mind?  Good, bad, happy, or sad - share whatever you so desire.  It's your turn to blog.  :-)

I have plenty of time, but then again, I will always have plenty of time for you.

 

Oh and I will always have plenty of coffee too.

;-)

Thank You To Sheri & Shira!

Thank you Sheri!

Thank you so much for the HONOR of having my little thoughts appear in YOUR delicious and beautiful new quilt book and thank you for my autographed copy!  What a treasure!

 

And thank you Shira! 

Thank you for featuring me in your Israeli design magazine, Nisha!  It was a pleasure to work with you and thank you for sending me a copy of the issue!

Unfortunately, I only know English so I cannot read a word.  ;-)

But I'm sure your story is WONDERFUL.  Thank you VERY much for everything!!

*Here are a few of the pages sent to me before Shira finished with the captions...

 
 

And thank YOU for letting me share these publications with you.

Love,

Kim 
 

Whatcha Doin'?

I'm waiting on the mailman.

How 'bout you???

P.S.  Fifi is having her first ever GIVEAWAY!  Take a peek and see.  :-) 

 

Coming Soon - The Fancy Flea!

I'm so excited because it is almost time for The Fancy Flea!!

I stopped by Lori's house yesterday to take a few photos of one of her pretty buffets and a few other goodies that she will be bringing to The Fancy Flea this coming Saturday.

Lori will also have all kinds of brightly painted furniture for sale - including a tangerine vanity and matching stool; a baby pink dresser with matching nightstand; a tall dresser painted in mustard yellow; a red buffet; a light blue French writing desk; a painted in white child's desk with built-in message board; vintage magazines; assorted china; chalkboards galore; vintage clothes; shabby chic lamps; antique mirrors, and a medley of other fabulous finds and soon-to-be-treasures for lucky flea shoppers! 

And that is just what Lori will have on hand.  Erica - the talented one who bakes my adorable daisy sugar cookies and cupcakes for me and who is also a Fancy Flea girl will be bringing garden furniture; vintage linens; glassware and other delightful finds.  There will be many vendors there with vintage jewelry, plants, herbs and flowers, antiques, homemade jellies, handmade soaps, original art work, scrapbooks, wreaths, home decor, and MORE. 

 

AND she will be there and she will be there and she will be there and she will be there and she will be there and she will be there!

 

I will be there too.  :-)

While Lori and I lunched in her lush cottage garden ...

These two babies came over to say hello.  They were born underneath Lori's house five weeks ago.

Welcome to the world little ones!

They were soooooooooo sweet.  Hmmm - maybe they should be named Fancy and Flea???

So after I finished taking the photos ...

I wondered if Miss Maggie would let me bring home little Fancy ...

 
 
 

  
And then I remembered that Miss Maggie doesn't like kittens.  Or cats.  She doesn't like them at all.

Nope. Not at all. 

Mean Maggie.

Sigh.

 

I hope so much that if you live nearby you can come join us at The Fancy Flea this Saturday!  We have so much fun.  It is being held in MY beautiful downtown and there will be plenty to do and see.  And if you do come by, please say hi.  I would absolutely LOVE to see you.

 

 

xo,

Kim
