Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage .♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea.♡ Happy Monday!  How was your weekend? In between watching the World Cup games, and “trying” to clean out the closet in the guestroom,  then watching more soccer. ( btw very fun,  and exciting)  and,  then  trying to console my husband at our favorite Mexican restaurant when Mexico lost. Well….  in between all those goings on….I was having a great weekend! Because I’ve been so busy organizing a guest room closet,  I haven’t really decorated for the 4 th of July. (Yet) However, over the weekend I made sure to hang a little Americana. It’s sooooo very important to me to show any passerbys, or visitors my love for our BeAuTiFuL, WoNdErFuL country. After the banners were put up, our little cottage looked like it had a face.  Can you see … 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 Soulful Sunday.  I don’t know where that came from….♡ Oh, wait a sec…. yes,  I do. … my soul has been stirring. Soulful occurrences are common occurences for me. Especially, while I’m in the middle of closet overthrow. (Giggle, giggle) Which, perhaps explains why I avoided this activity for as long as possible. (Grin) btw. .. I’m wondering. .. Have you ever wanted something so badly you thought you would die,  if you didn’t have it.  pretty badly, experienced a little disappointed in not getting it….and then, got down on your knees, kissed the earth in gratitude for not getting it perhaps later relieved? Just Curious. Gentle reader, I’ve my own lessons from such humble experiences. A few years ago, during one of my antiquing sojourns, I came across … 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! I had a fabulous week.  I’m hoping you did too.♡ As I look back on my week,…. Much of my time was spent emptying out, sorting  through, stumbling upon, keeping,  throwing out, on my knees praying for forgiveness acquiring so much…. and then offering up my “stuff”. I felt like an excavator/archaeologist.  In case you haven’t noticed. I am in a MAJOR  transition with this long time relationship with Frenemy. (Friend/enemy)  aka…my “stuff”. I don’t know about you, but I have a difficult time getting “rid” of things. For me,  there’s an enormous amount of emotional energy tied into the process. It can be a little overwhelming in the beginning. I hear so many voices,  as what to let go of, and what to hold … 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 Friday! How was your week? I hope you had a great one. ♡ Today I have plans for visiting s a fun little ArTsY shop. I’ve been going there for many years, where the owner knows me on a first name basis.            She also refers to me as the “Bird Lady”.                      Because, years ago, I had purchased several WhImSiCaL birdhouses from her.                                     They were colorful, one of a kind, and very, very, VERY, cute.(of course)       I would use … 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 Wednesday! I wonder if being a Wednesday child, is similar to being a middle child? Hmmmm…. Just something to ponder…♡btw, just incase you are wondering, I’m not a Wednesday child. Oh, and of course not a middle child either. (Of course) W~e~l~l, back in my “teacher” days, (seems like f~o~r~e~v~e~r ago) They use to have Wacky Wednesday. The kids would wear something wacky. Perhaps, they would wear their clothes inside out, or mix-matched shoes.  And, if my memory serves me right I believe the adults (teachers) often were the most creatively wacky…. okay….now I’m pondering about that too.! Obviously, Wacky, Wednesdays,  and Closets. are on my mind today. Something tells me that today, being Wacky Wednesday, middle of the week… and almost the end of June. …makes me … Continue reading →
