I’d organize my outfits that I was going to wear….along with any accessories. Seriously, I did! I had little hooks to hang each of my outfits on Monday-Friday. … 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 Wednesday! Does it feel like a Tuesday…Or does it seem like it should be Friday already… Sometimes those 3 day weekends spook trick the rest of your week.

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ Happy Monday, Happy September 1st, and Happy Labor Day! Now that was a mouthful. It’s so funny, I belong to a few groups that “go dark” in the summer months, only to begin again in September. It seems like we just went dark, and said “Have a great summer, see you in September!” and lo, and behold we are here again! Oh! I almost forgot to announce the unofficial, official, random Marcia’s Cottage winner for September! silly … Read the full blog post

I seriously want to know how Labor Day arrived so soon! Where has this year gone? Okay, this is a scientific question. Are you ready? Why does the day seem so long when you are working?
