Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ Happy Thursday sweet friend….♡ Patience.…it’s almost Friday…(grin) hmmmm….I’m wondering if you gentle reader are in one of life’s many transitions…of course you are. I think we are all constantly moving, changing, puttering, floating, and perhaps even occasionally feel as if we are sinking. y.i.k.e.s Okay, well at least I know that I am. (not sinking, but always growing, and changing) …..♡ Yesterday, my husband “surprised” me with … Read the full blog post

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? Did you do anything special…♡ For me, my favorite kind of weekend is when I can combine, a little fun, work, and relaxation. And, that’s exactly the kind of weekend I had.

(Grin) of course that was the fun part of my weekend too. The work … Read the full blog post

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ I’m excited about a workshop I am attending today. It is sort of a training. (grin) Guess what it will be about? Angels…. Do you know anything about angels? Or perhaps, I should ask you dear reader do you ever ponder about them… I’m hoping to learn a little more by attending this workshop. And, yet….I “think” I believe in them. But, how can I believe in them, if I don’t know much/anything about them? Personally, I’ve … Read the full blog post

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….hope it was beyond wonderful! There’s a clothesline on the outside of our cottage. It is on the side deck. I love it. We put it up years ago, when we first moved here. Of course, it wasn’t used for drying clothes. I sort of used it for decorating. Of course. However, over the years, I’ve become very fond of it…in an old fashiony kind of way. My Grandmother (nana) dried all … Read the full blog post
