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

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage.♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ With this warmer weather, I’m really enjoying sitting outside in the garden. Early in the morning, I find a quiet little room to have my tea, or coffee in . Outdoor rooms are very easy to create. And, Summer is the perfect time to create one. Perhaps to most, this appears to be a very large pomegranate tree. .. However, it is actually a perfect spot to create a quiet get away. I’d love to show you one … 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. ♡ Well, I hope today’s post is greeting you in a comfy spot. Perhaps you are at home.

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ It’s early, early, early morning, right now. And, I’m really glad that your on the “other” side of this screen…and aren’t able to see me with my hair pulled back in a ponytail, sipping tea, and eating the most delicious Austrailian strawberry red licorice from our local Trader Joes. I am seriously addicted to them, and today decided they’d make a fabulous breakfast. (grin) Well, so anyway, I’m glad I got that confession over with… because, I wouldn’t … 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. ♡ When I was a teacher, Friday was our classroom “SHARE” day. Kids were allowed to bring “ONE” share item. Sometimes, they would try to sneak in more than one item, and I would have to thank them for sharing…and call on the next child. It’s a good thing, this isn’t the classroom. And, I hope you can visit a while, because today is Friday…and I have L.O.T.S to “SHARE”! First, I just … Read the full blog post
