The Latest here at the Cottage — fabric shop

Happy July to all. I hope y’all had a wonderful and safe 4th celebrations. We had a fairly quiet one. We sat out in the screened in porch and watch the neighbors fireworks. LOL!  By 10 pm we were peacefully in bed asleep. The wonderful thing about where we live is the peace and quiet at night. (well, except for the crickets and the frogs LOL)  Just a reminder, We are open ONLY on Wednesdays from 10 am to 4 pm. I apologize for the change again. But I think it will be best for all of us for many...

I apologize for the radio silence for the last 2 months. 😏 Life has been really crazy for me. It’s been difficult adjusting to a new schedule. It is rough sometimes, trying to get your equilibrium. As strange as that sounds, having the shop open 1 day a week, has been a complete rearrangement of my schedule and routine. So writing the blog/newsletter kind of fell thru the cracks. Sorry. I hope I haven’t lost y’all in the process. But it is starting to come together, slowly. We have had to make some major adjustments to our plans. The price...

Is it hot enough for you ?!?!?!? It seems that July has apologized this morning, for being so brutal, with the brief rain shower. It’s been a weird year for weather. Unusual winter and spring and now a record hot summer. I hope y’all are staying cool. At home, we built a nice screened in porch to enjoy, but it’s been too HOT to use it. We are hoping for a cool down soon.   It’s business as usual around here at the Cottage. This summer has been too hot to be very exciting. The long arm machine is running...

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY !! Time to celebrate all the wonderful freedoms that we enjoy in here in this, the most wonderful country on Earth. (no offense intended to other countries) I have family in Canada, friends in England & Tahiti and my youngest daughter lived in Japan for 4 years. The world is a wondrous place, but at the end of the day, there is nothing like home sweet home in the land that I love !! Have a wonderful and safe holiday y’all. Hope you have a wonderful time and are able to stay cool somewhere and relax...

How it all got Started November 22, 2013 Well, here I am !!!   WOW !!   Never in my wildest dreams, a year or so ago, would I ever have thought I would be here today, doing what I'm doing.  It's been a long and bumpy journey over the past year. But a thrilling adventure. I have always sewn, A LOT, from the time I was very young, about 5 years old. Owning a fabric store has been a dream for me for over 35 years. I got very close once, but it never came to fruition. Then, in early...
