Celebrating October In The Sunshine Cottage

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

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

September Garden

Hello sweet friends. Are you as excited as I am for autumn? Have I mentioned it is my favorite season?

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3:1-2‬ ‭

The September garden is taking on its autumn color!

The garden is definitely changing. The tree to the right is one of a pair of Sioux crape myrtles, they lose their leaves early as you can see.READ MORE

Summer In The Sunshine Cottage

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Summer, Sunshine Cottage

Happy Thursday sweet friends. It has been an unusual summer in our Appalachian Foothills. We have had more days of clouds and rain than sunshine, or at least it seems that way. How has your summer been? School will be starting in a couple of weeks for my sweet EM. I cannot believe she will be in K5!

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:11‬ ‭

Before I start decorating for autumn (my favorite season), I thought I should share summer in the sunshine cottage!

I don’t constantly change decor in the cottage, usually just seasonal changes. I do enjoy changing the table square on the round table. The topper and tea set are “blue roses”, a collaboration between Victoria and April Cornell. It was first used here. A few hydrangeas were cut and placed in the tea pot.READ MORE
