We were able to make the trip to Cambria last week. We were eager to breathe in the delicious Cambria air of the central coast area of California. August 13th of 2012 changed our lives forever when John due to a 1 in a million bleed to his carotid artery... Continue reading

The Sun Does Rise Each Day

I've missed Bloglandia. I've stayed away for a very good reason. I've been helping my husband recover from a stroke these past 4 months. Everything changed that early afternoon and now we are both very different. Our sweet cottage under the pines waited three months for us to return. We... Continue reading

So happy to hear all the good news on Facebook about your trip and birthday. Just know that nothing in this world would make us happier if you could join us at the Storybook. Xoxoxo mj

Hi Ricky Jill, I thought these gardens were the best I've ever seen. I've been looking for mini plants. I'd love to locate a mini fir or pine. I have a house and fence and soon will create one of my own. Have a wonderful day! Maryjane of Storybook Cottage Blog

Hi Monique, Thanks for leaving a comment when you visited today. These little mini gardens took my heart away this past summer. I wanted to make a purchase of one but I knew I could not leave it behind at the vacation home and our car was loaded with people for the return trip to Southern California. However maybe this year I will! Maryjane from Storybook Cottage Blog

Thanks Catherine. You gave me the idea to write about our moms and my dad when you emailed me the other day. This old brain needed the nudge and I'm certain that my dad was thrilled that you remembered him. Love, mj

Hi Ricki Jill, Wishing you also a Happy Mother's Day weekend. I've been wondering. I noticed on your blog that you love to paint. I studied art in college and loved it also at the time. Now I've been having fun playing" Draw Something with my family". Do you play? I found the game by way of Facebook and I've enjoyed having a daily interaction with the kids. Hugs, Maryjane

Hi Ricki Jill, Your post today reminded me that I haven't as yet gotten back to you. I do believe as you do that comments deserve a response. I've enjoyed your comments and am grateful that you take the time to leave one. Pretty post about window boxes... Flowers have always been on the top of my shopping list in spring and to have found these window boxes filled with flowers last month gave me great joy after our 5 hour car ride. We hope to get back to the cottage this weekend and I'm anxious to see their progress. I plan on doing an update on these window boxes soon and hope the window box show will be beautiful! Best Regards, Maryjane from the Storybook cottage Blog

A Love for Window Boxes

Springtime hello to everyone! I've always been green with envy when it came to window boxes on any home that I wished I could call my own. I'd see pictures of beautifully illustrated window boxes overflowing with blooms in my children's storybooks. I'd think what lucky storybook characaters! Never did... Continue reading
