A Cottage Girl

An extention of the shenanigans over on my Instagram. Hi Friends! I started this page as an extension of my instagram and blog accounts. Welcome!

I wanted to do live interactive meet ups that didn't disappear! I hope to offer my tribe useful info about decorating, DIY'ing, instagram and that sort of thing. Also, there will be humor. Let me know what you'd like me to ramble about, and let's get this party started!

It’s officially spring here in NE Indiana, so that means Elsa zaps us with freezing temps and snow to show us she can’t let it go quite yet ❄️ I decided it’s time for fakers in spring colors even while the faker fireplace has to stay on. ❄️

A soft place to land this 🐪Day, full of things unstyled, things thrifted, things inherited, things found… cobbled together in a way unique to my style. It’ll never make it into a magazine feature, or garner hundred’s of thousands of views/likes. But it *will* soothe my heart, welcome beloved family and friends, and hold memories of a season of life that is both precious and ever-changing. Decorate for you and yours. I’m preaching to the choir, I know, but this truth is being driven home to me again this week as I seek and find refuge in this space I created out of mismatched everything.
I shared in my stories this week about newly-born Grandson Teddy’s open heart surgery tomorrow {Thursday}, and wanted to say thank you for the love and support we’ve received leading up to it. Every message has been a balm to my heart. ❤️ May today bring you peace as it’s bringing me.

You know how I feel about details. 👀See that wee brass candle snuffer thing? And the subtle musical heart swaggy? Brought from me to you by Grace 🤍 She finds and makes such unique things… love her Story Sales! Swipe for close ups. Also? I lit these candles at 6:30 this morning because I wanted to feel like Ma Ingalls in the midst of our two day snow storm. So there. Whether you’re pretending to be a Pioneer Gal or maybe a Baywatch Babe, may your Thursday be magical. 🪄✨

Facebook Marketpoop comes thru again. bedside lamps with ball fringe shades? Yes, please. Swipe for a full room view plus a little Rosiekins {in desperate need of a groom} who must 1) find every patch of sunshine, and 2) be a model in every photo shoot. 🐾🌹 More outtakes in my Stories for those who can’t get enough of the Wee White Wookie shenanigans and winter cottage bedroom goodness. Hope the *day brings a dose of sunshine to your hearts ☀️💛

Current view. Thinking some kind of sconce might be nice in the fireplace wall… over the niches? Either side of whatever I put over the actual fireplace? Anyway, I like my color scheme for winter because soft blush and sage green have my heart in this city cottage. Happy Thursday friends!

These snaps and words {tho a tad more raw}were in my IG Stories yesterday, so feel free to skip… but I wanted them to live on my grid so I can revisit them in the future.
———///———
I have slogged thru much of 2021 emotionally, mentally, physically… lots of soul searching {and coming up empty}, lots of tears, and yes… lots of screaming tantrums that my husband has dealt with in his gracious, loving, and forgiving ways….a true unicorn among humans. 🦄

My exhausted, sarcastic menopausal soul wanted to tell 2021 to KISS MY ASS because HOLY SHIITAKE what a 🤬🤬🤬 it has been, amiright? And yet…

And yet…

This last year brought fulfillment to longings {many delivered under the guise of crisis}. There were magical moments and beautiful souls, and amazing insights…I just needed to look for them past the bleary eyed present moments that I allow to command my focus much of the time.

I have no resolutions or or a Word for the year. Just a soft intention to continue to come HOME more to mySelf, to my beautiful, magical life thru practicing compassionate courage towards myself and others.

2022 has arrived my Friends, and it will bring an abundance of ALL GOOD THINGS….even if they take a tidge more focus to see.

My wish for you: May you have eyes to see.
Happy New Year!

More festive close-ups as we creep closer to the big day! And Rosie at the end 🐾 Thank you for the sweet words in my nighttime Christmas living room tour… it feels so cozy and comfy to me. After a few challenging months, it’s been a place of respite and reflection in the evenings. And where I watch lots of old Christmas movies with Hubby! My fave this year: It Happened on 5th Ave. {honorable mentions: Christmas in Connecticut, The Bishop’s Wife, Holiday Inn, and White Christmas} ❄️⛄️ What are your faves?

12/20/2021

Sunshine and mild temps today, and I’m not mad about it☀️☀️☀️As much as I love a white Christmas, I love sunshine more. 😎 I think this is the last corner I haven’t shared in the living room. Swipe for a detailed shot. Again with the vintage and natural crap from outside 😁
Hope yellow roses and yellow sunshine find you today as they have me. 💛⭐️🌞

I think vintage stuff elevates everything. A simple transfer ware pitcher and bowl {purchased a few years ago from steals the show every time. Swipe to see more angles and details… and enjoy a happy Thursday evening 🎄

🎶Christmas time is here 🎶

12/13/2021

Anyone else feeling like they got the reins on the stuff they still gotta do before 🛷 🎅🏻 comes? Good. Me neither. But I’ve been having fun doing all the things this year, and even scheduled activities a bit so I can still sit down with a piping hot beverage and enjoy twinkle lights and real candles even on a Monday morning. Hope your day has many magical moments!

Rosiekins and Twinklelights. It’s Christmas Crafting with Maw today, so I’m furiously finishing up wrapping and cleaning to prepare for the festivities. Prolly bit off more than I can chew, but our new ping pong table comes this afternoon, so there’s that.
