The Scented Cottage®Studio

Was the past week a busy one for you too? This week is shaping up to be just as busy! All the photos I had taken for my web shop somehow disappeared into cyber space....so I am having to re-do them. See those beautiful wooden roses up there? Yup, that's right, they are made of wood shavings. …

You may have noticed how beautiful my blog looks now. I am sitting up straighter in my chair and am feeling a bit prideful. Doing a little "isn't my stuff hot" wiggle. I used to think that creative people couldn't work both left and right brain, but oh how wrong I have been. …

My son and his Sweetheart recently married. This is their first dance together as husband and wife, sigh. We all went to Disney World - Where Dreams Come True. Mine sure did. My son is finally married and I have another delightful daughter. I am going traveling…

Yesterday, at the Cottage Shop, I couldn't wait to get home to the computer....at the shop we are on dial-up, at home there is some magical connection that super speeds things up. Imagine my frustration to get home and find the magical connection had been hit with a nasty spell that put it out…
