Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ Well, it’s a little strange to think that it is already Thursday.♡ I have “sort” of been getting ready for a women’s luncheon that I’m planning to host in just a few days. However, I must admit the Cottage Garden keeps calling out to me.♡ I’m in love with the warmth of summer. It gives me an excuse (not that I need one) to get up with the birdies, go outside, listen to nature, and p~l~a~y. Some people speak of the need to get away “from it all”… There’s really no need for me … Continue reading

We had made plans for a little get away…. But, for some odd reason…. After I made this wonderful potato salad. .. And, Joe planted a new, adorable, little plum tree… And, I laid out my new fabric, which will become future, sweet, kitchen window curtains…. And, then chatted with a dear friend. …. My lovely weekend was over! And…… It was time to plan for the week ahead. I hope you enjoyed your weekend just … Continue reading

We will then have… oranges, lemons, nectarine, grapefruit, pomegranate, apple, and. .. Peaches! For me, one of the traditions here this weekend, is to clean and paint all our wicker furniture for the outside porch. I enjoy planting a few more … Continue reading

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea ♡ Happy Saturday! Have I ever told you that Saturday is my favorite day of the week? And, ever since I was a little girl, I have adored Saturday mornings.♡ I get so excited about the possibilities for the day. ♡ And, now that I’m ALL grown up, (grin) I love Saturdays even more! Today, I am very inspired to decorate/straighten out our cottage kitchen cupboard. –♡ You probably aren’t too impressed. Well, Darn! Straightening out this little cupboard makes me so happy. I’m organizing it for the summer. Well, let’s take a look. .. and perhaps, I’ll impress you after all. It is a little tricky getting a good photo. I’m just not getting close enough. Perhaps, I need a fancy, smancy, camera. I have a … Continue reading

Entre Nous…♡
Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ Happy Thursday! How are you? With the weekend just around the bend. .. Are you making any plans? Can I share a little secret? Little Mademoiselle Cam’i, is upset with me. ♡ I’m not quite sure how she figured out that I’m trying to plan a little vacation for my husband and I. Perhaps, it is because she keeps “catching” me reading all things French. (Big smile) Hmmm.. She is definitely smarter than I already thought she was! Well, if truth be told….(darn) I HAVE been reflecting of a wonderful trip I had taken to Paris. Joe, and I celebrated our second anniversary there. That’s a photo of us on the morning we departed from Los Angeles, Ca. We have this little ritual, I think it is rather sweet. (Of … Continue reading
