I sure hope so! I’ve been pondering about my own… One of my favorite summer activities is taking long road trips. The longer the better And if I’m not in a hurry to reach my destination… the trip is that much more fun! My husband has an old road atlas that he often pulls out, and shows me all sorts of places we might … Read the full blog post →

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage by the Sea. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ I must tell you that my week started off just fabulous.

(eyes WIDE open) With that said…I’m here for the long run, and no matter  how wild the winter   what may come … Read the full blog post →

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage by the Sea.♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ This week was monumental. Two friends from California dropped by for a visit! Double fun! They were the “first” visitors since our move. I was so excited! We chatted over tea, cupcakes, and then lunch.  Yes….in that order too. Dessert first!   Well…I don’t think it has anything to do with eating dessert first, or even getting the “first” visit from friends here on the Oregon coast. However, more, and more I can see how … 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 hope you had a great week. Mine flew by. So many wonderful things have happened since we last chatted.  I don’t know where to begin. .. I’ve been pondering what to chat about.  I could share so many “little” stories. For instance I could share the story about how I came across a sweet new apron. It’s a fun little story. I’m sure you’d like it.     Or I could chat about an invitation for … 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! Three Cheers for BBQ’s, parades, family, friends, and of course I Love them all. Of course. I sometimes wonder if it’s because I’m becoming wiser, as I get older younger, (wink, wink) However, having another 4th of July weekend over is a little bittersweet for me. I just want to hold on to everything. It is like I hate to see anything end. It’s sad! But rather than dwell on the fact that it’s Monday … Read the full blog post →
