Queen Anne’s Lace…..a delicate message of the days of summer changing into the crisp mornings and colorful sights of autumn

Queen Anne’s lace
Is hardly
prized but
all the same it isn’t
idle look
how it
stands straight on its
thin stems how it
scrubs its white faces
with the
rags of the sun how it
makes all of the
loveliness
it can
-Mary Oliver

Soon, The Everyday Cottage shop will be open!

The offerings will be, my own art works, thoughtfully sourced vintage dishes, and home decor for you to be able to purchase and enjoy in your own home.

I also will be sharing poetry and writings about home, life simplicity and gratitude.
And some of my favorite books that I have enjoyed reading over the years. I think every home might have a tucked away corner for reading our favorite books over and over again

The thought is that a cottage/ home is so much more than a staged room. A true home has beauty, grace and comfort

The photos I am sharing today are the “behind the scenes work” my work room where I will be putting all the goodies together for you to see.
The painting in the frame is not complete, but I just had to see how it was going to look in the antique frame I found

I am so excited about all of this!!
I will be sharing more with you tomorrow🌷

Here in Maine after yesterday’s storm in which caused so much damage by the extremely high tide. I had to go to Saturday Cove, which is right behind my home, to check out the small white building that I have taken so many photos of
and have shared with all of you
To my relief, there it stood, having survived yet another of the seas crashing and pounding attempts to sweep it off it’s old beam foundation
But unfortunately the rest of the immediate area did not do well at all
One pier lost a whole section that brought local people back and forth, from land to sea. And the rest of the area, basically torn to shreds

the old sailor tells about every breath of the fickle sea….
and yet I have retuned far too many times
