Little Cottage Link Party #92

Welcome to Little Cottage Link Party #92 and Happy March! I hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather was beautiful here in the South Carolina Lowcountry. I was priviledged to attend my dad’s 82nd birthday at Shealy’s-one of South Carolina’s famous bbq buffet restaurants- and two of my daughter’s college softball games.

I continued my 100 Day Painting Challenge. On day two I painted Cement Frog Couple, the second painting in the Cottage Garden series. These guys have been in my rock garden for over 20 years. I wonder if they’ve noticed how big the children in the little cottage have gotten?

On with the Party

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!

My first feature is the cutest, nicest thing ever. Julie made pocket hugs (they can be given as small gifts to friends and loved ones) with fabric scraps, buttons and embroidery thread. What a great way to encourage others! Her popsickle stick earring post was pretty amazing as well. You’ll have to drop into her blog to see those.

Andrea transformed her regular porch into a lucky one with stuff from the Dollar Tree. Those sparkly shamrocks on the windows sure are pretty. The black check looks good with the green too.

Jeanne made a birdhouse chalet with mosaic tile pieces. Birdhouses are my favorite, and this was a very creative interpretation. The icy trees and glass cake stand give it a nice, wintry look.

If you need a little help getting in the mood for March, Beth’s joyful rainbow tablescape will get you there. Looking at that tablecloth and those rainbow plates makes me feel happy inside.

These little notebooks made from playing cards are the perfect gift tag for a special friend. Lisa sewed around the edges of her cards to make them even prettier.

Libbie’s moss wall art is unique and pretty. I love the contrast of the purple and green!
