Season’s Greetings From The Sunshine Cottage Porch

~ Christmas, Decorating, Everyday Living, Faith, Sunshine Cottage

Hello dear friends. I have almost completed decorating our home and the Sunshine Cottage for Christmas. Just a few little vignettes to add and tweak and I can call it finished.

The weather has been beautiful this week! You won’t even need a coat to visit the Sunshine Cottage Porch!

“In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:4-5‬ ‭

My Renaissance Man cut fresh pine for the garland to surround the doors. He does such a beautiful job and it is truly a labor of love!READ MORE

Pumpkins & The Sunshine Cottage Porch

~ Autumn, Everyday Living, Faith, Sunshine Cottage

Happy Thursday sweet friends. I hope you are enjoying a beautiful week. Yesterday, my RM and I took a day trip that I will share with you next week. It was one of those perfect autumn days that I hope not to ever take for granted.

“My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭121:2‬ ‭

As promised, I am finally sharing a few pics of the Sunshine Cottage porch. It assumed this fall look a number of weeks back. So long ago that I lost several pumpkins that had to be discarded…messy when they go bad! The cottage porch does get a lot of wonderful afternoon sunshine, but that can be hard on pumpkins that have been around  since early to mid-September! Let’s have a look.

Happy Thursday my friends! Can you believe that today is the last day of September and three fourths of 2021 is now history?

“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:28‬ ‭

Tomorrow is the first day of my favorite month! I am celebrating October in the Sunshine Cottage and I am excited that you are joining me.

Y’all come on in. You might be wondering what is hanging from the chandelier. Ella Mae was supposed to help me decorate, but she is a busy girl. With K-5, ballet, and birthday parties with her friends, she couldn’t work me into her schedule. I knew both of our girls would love the fun hanging fall decor from the chandelier. When they walked in, their eyes lit up! “PJ, what is this?”READ MORE
