The Cottage Around the Corner

Our trees are beginning to leaf out. My coreopsis is starting to grow and I couldn't be more happy! I hope you are having a beautiful day and starting to see signs of green...

I made breakfast for us today. Do you like milk in your coffee? I do! I made us some coffee cake served on some lovely vintage napkins and place mats. I just love the color! They are so happy looking!!!

The sun is shining this morning and it makes me think of you. Is it sunny where you are? If not, I will be happy to share some of my sunshine with you. And if it is dark and bleak where you are, colorful napkins always brighten my day...!!! ;)

I finally have my own place in our house. This is difficult in that we have 7 people living in about 1100 square feet of house. I am not complaining though. The only thing I would change is the bedroom sizes. Everything else works for us. So now I have a designated space just for me. I am sure the kids will use it for homework as well...but I have laid claim to my own space none the less...cherries always mark my territory...

Everywhere I read lately has been about how people have their own private creative space. I felt really jealous. Then I read about how you should look at your house with different eyes to carve out a space. In a house with 7 people, that is no small feat, but I think I found a spot.
I recently bought a desk on craigslist. Already black, so I didnt have to paint...it was the color that I wanted anyway. Then I hit the thrift stores for decorative accessories. I think I made it cute...!!! I am happy with the results and I will post pictures tomorrow.
I am writing this blog on my new iPad...and it is very strange to say the least. So if I have bad grammar, please forgive me...
