Charlotte Lyons was one of the very first sweethearts that I met in Blogland. Along with being so incredibly talented, she is also so incredibly down-to-earth with a giving spirit and a love for the simple things in life that she generously shares with us on her blog. If you haven't met her yet please stop by and introduce yourself to her. She will love meeting YOU.
Anywho, Charlotte kindly made this wool felt adorable little cottage ornament just for me! I love it!!!
Isn't it darling? And Charlotte would love to make a custom cottage ornament for one of you too! She will also include a kit so that you can make one on your own - how fun is that? You may learn more about her delightful kits here.
If you would like the chance to win one of these cottage ornaments handcrafted by our Charlotte, please leave a comment on this post. I will announce the winner Thanksgiving day.
Thank you everyone and thank you Charlotte!!!!
Love,
Kim
Wow, I don't think I have ever been the first comment ;). Of course I would love to win one of Charlotte's ornaments; I always loved her work with ME and her home was featured in one of ME's first books(at least I think it was, may have to go back and look).
Happy Thanksgiving Kim and family!

Hi! I would love to hang one of those precious ornaments on my tree! We have just moved to Kansas City from Lexington, Ky, and it has been crazy getting moved in and getting our family settled into our new home. But a blessing to make a new house into a "home" it truly is! I love your cozy and warm blog. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

How very sweet---your yellow cottage captured in fabric and lace. I'd swear those are daisy petals on the front.
Those are just precious, and I'd love to have one, but I think a little square white ranch would look just like a fancied-up ice-cube!
What lovely friends you have!
