Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ..♡
I am feeling a little guilty this morning…I don’t think I offered you one of these cupcakes yesterday, during Marcia’s Cottage kitchen home tour. They are so good too. Vanilla bean with buttercream frosting. ..and a dollop of strawberry jam.
So I’m asking for a “do over” in hospitality.
P-l-e-a-s-e
The kettle is on.
Let’s have a seat, and visit a while.
These are just for YOU…. Sweet friend. Guess who made
Homemade apricot
Jam. ..♡
After all that’s what Friends are for.
Friends come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they can turn up where you least expect them, and if your lucky WHEN you need them most. I’m very lucky because I do have friends like that.
Particulary one comes to mind.
We met about 20 years ago. I was driving through the neighborhood where my friend lives. It was love at first sight. However, we didn’t really get to know one another until years later.
Looking back that’s when the transformation
In our friendship occurred.
My friend has a MaGiCaL quality.
Attracts many friends. .. birds, squirrels, butterflies. And has Snow White storybook features.
Except trust me, even after all these years of friendship… birds haven’t EVER landed on MY hand while I’m gardening. However, one might see furry little princesses…. and a king at times., Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if my loving husband doesn’t occasionally hum a “high ho, high ho” on his way to work. (Silly grin)
I’m wondering if you know who this heartfelt, soulful friend is. …
Yes. .. of course you do. I’m also wondering if you share special conversations with your heartfelt friend too..Sometimes my friend
tells me to be patient, and reminds me that she is old. …and then I remember how much I LOVE old.
Yes my friend shares her stories….♡
Ones which speak of…
Wide paneled floors
Which traveled
all the way
from New England
I’m also gently reminded that old sometimes needs extra love and care.—♡Oh.. I just can’t resist my friend’s charms.
.
This friendship has become a refuge in my life.
One of the nicest things someone once told me about our Cottage was that ” it felt like they were getting a hug from a house” when they visited.
Yes, friends come in all shapes and sizes. This friend of mine is warm … and very well built. … and of course filled with love. That’s because it has become my Home. ♡
Thank you for stopping by. I hope that you have enjoyed your visit. Have a lovely day my friend.
Xoxo. ..
Marcia
