Time for a change ..♡
Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ..♡ Lately I’ve been thinking about refining how I live my life. Not that anything is wrong with it… because of course I will be the first to admit that I live a VERY charmed life.(Big smile) Refining to me means improving things so they become more authentic and fulfilling. I guess it’s similar to how I sometimes enjoy changing the look of a room. Because our Cottage is a small Cottage, and not a grand mansion. ..I don’t have a lot of options for change. However I have found often any change, makes a nice improvement to the room. Change is never easy, but it can lead to new and exciting opportunities that would never come if the change were not made. It’s actually very empowering because … Continue reading

It’s a beautiful morning…♡
Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a Wednesday morning cup of tea. …♡ It’s such a beautiful morning, I thought this pretty little tea set would be perfect.♡ I have a special little day planned. A friend of mine is visiting from out of town, and we planned an afternoon for tea. This photo was from Kathy’s last visit a couple of years ago. She no longer lives in California. .. so its nice to be able to visit when she’s here. It’s times like these that I really appreciate not working, and having the freedom during the week. A simple little pleasure that makes me SO grateful. ♡ As much as I LOVE hosting tea parties, I certainly enjoy spending an afternoon being served by others too.♡Again another simple pleasure to be very grateful for. I always … Continue reading

Blessed. ..♡
Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. I’m so happy to see you today. I am feeling very blessed. ♡ Shall we sit down and enjoy a cup of tea. .♡ I love this little teacup. Many years ago I purchased a zillion teacups, and teapots from a friend who was selling her tea business. Wasn’t I the luckiest person! Yes. . Blessed is this life. . And I’m going to celebrate being alive! How’s your weekend going? I hope it is going fabulous! Do you have something fun planned for today? I’ve been looking for ways to reinvent some things that I love. For instance I have a ton of these chairs from when I use to give large tea parties. ..They were brownish color. I wanted to brighten them up a bit. I love this weathered blueish look. ♡ Here’s another one. .. I’m in swoonsville. I’m finding all sorts … Continue reading
