    This isn't a tablescape, but I loved the doggie and the colors!

Family Pictures 2011 and A Winner...

    This year I was determined that we would take some family photos. We asked our wonderful wedding photographer, Anne to do them. Anne has a photography business in Cambridge, Ontario.
     In some ways it is hard to believe it was four years ago.


    Yes, some things have changed. Or everything has.


      (I'm so happy to have pictures of Maddie in this coat, which was a treasured gift from her Grandpa, originally to Layla)



    Matthew 19:14
    But Jesus said, "Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children." 






     Someday my hands will no longer be filled with the daily tasks of motherhood, although my heart will be no less a mother.  
    And I'm sure these pictures will bring me joy!
    Oh and of course, the winner! A day late, sorry! 
    The random selection was #19 - Erin from Carolina Country Living.
    I just looked at her blog and it is lovely! And she makes candles, this one looks wonderful for Christmas...
     I am waiting on a replacement camera, but will be back with house photos once it arrives!

The Cottage Co...

    I have been very absent, and while I don't think blog authors must necessarily apologize for absences I will say life has been full, of babies and other good things.
    I hope this finds you all well!
     In the late summer my husband and I (with baby) had a date weekend to do whatever we wanted. One of the things we did was to take a little road trip to The Cottage Co, a store I had been wanting to visit for a long time.
     As you might notice it is exactly my style:)
    Madeleine and I wandered around for well over an hour looking at everything.
    It was so wonderful to finally meet Julia (the owner) in person. You can see her pretty and inviting  home on her blog.
    I got to hear some of her stories of helping clients decorate their homes over the years. 
     Julia was so welcoming and generous. She sent us home with some little gifts, and one for one of you!
    She is offering a fifty dollar gift certificate for the store, and is willing to ship worldwide.
    Just leave a comment here so I can enter you in the giveaway. As well she is including some Barefoot products...
    The store has recently moved from Barrie to Toronto. They are now at 2199 Queens Street East in Toronto.
    I will be back to announce the winner on Friday!
