Little Cottage Link Party #59

Welcome to Little Cottage Link Party #59! I hope everyone had a great week. I’ve been reading, painting, and trying to escape the 96 degree temperatures and the coronavirus here in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Here’s what I made last week:

I enjoy making hand painted flower pots, watering cans, mailboxes, and signs. My DIY Cottage Garden Sign was inspired by the black-eyed susan patch that grows around the walkway to our side porch.

The Little Cottage Link Party is open from Monday, 9am EST, through Thursday, 9am EST (I’m leaving the party open a day longer this year). My goal for this link party is to help myself and others thrive in the home. I’ve spent the last two decades raising five homeschooled children in a beautiful little cottage in the South Carolina Lowcountry. In my opinion, the home is the most important place on earth. It doesn’t matter if you’re married, single, empty-nesting, or raising a large family-your home can still be a refreshing oasis of love and beauty to those who enter.

Time for the Features!

I can relate to my first featured blogger because we had a one-bathroom house for about 15 years before we built our new addition. Jolena and her husband did a terrific job on the makeover! The octopus shower curtain is gorgeous.

Chloe’s wreath is amazing. She is creative and has great ideas from week to week.

Deb’s post encouraged me to research abalone shells. I didn’t know that sea snails lived inside them or that abalone shells were so durable. Her ETSY shop is full of garden gems and embellishments just like her beautiful suncatcher.

Keeping with the seaside garden theme, Lisa made some adorable succulent planters from seashells. How clever! I wish I’d thought of it myself. She also includes some printable, vintage, ocean-themed postcards in this post.
