Winter Flower Therapy

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

Happy cold and wintry Monday! I know much of the country has been impacted by snow, ice, and bitter cold. Last week we had a couple of warm days before the cold hit us. We haven’t seen the sunshine in quite a while and brrr…it’s cold!

“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12:25‬

Come in from the cold and welcome to the Sunshine Cottage where it is warm and cozy. I am serving up a fabulous blend of Valentine coffee with notes of cherry and dark chocolate to warm you. Help yourself to a warm blueberry muffin fresh from the oven. It is the third Monday of the month which means a new edition of Monday Morning Blooms with my blogging friends! I am so glad you are here to visit.

Raise your hand if you can use a dose of winter flower therapy with a little nod to spring!

Our sweet Shirley from Housepitality Designs was unable to join us, but we are excited to have a guest “bloomer” today! Welcome Sarah from Hyacinths For The Soul to Monday Morning Blooms!READ MORE

Valentine’s In The Sunshine Cottage

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms, Valentines Day

Happy February sweet friends. It seems that January flew by while I wasn’t looking! It is Monday Morning Blooms with my blogging friends and we are sharing a special Valentine’s Day edition!

“We love because he first loved us.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭

Valentine’s Day is such a sweet treat tucked into the middle of winter. February could be a dreary month but instead it is very special to my Renaissance Man and myself as we share two romantic holidays, Valentine’s and our anniversary.

What would Valentine’s Day be without flowers?

A Cheerful Table & Flowers

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

Hello sweet friends! I hope you enjoyed a nice weekend and that it is continuing today with the Martin Luther King holiday. The third Monday of the month always means it is Monday Morning Blooms with my lovely blogging friends. Raise your hand if you could use a little flower therapy!

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭73:26‬ ‭

Last week was a mixed bag of weather…one sunny day and the rest were gray skies, rain, and cold temperatures. I decided a cheerful table and flowers were in order!

January doesn’t provide the best of flowers. Making a quick run to the grocery store and seeing there wasn’t much to choose from, I did manage to come home with some flowers that would qualify as cheerful.
