I am so excited on September 7,and 8 I will be attending the Women of faith conference. http://www.womenoffaith.com/conferences/speakers/07default.asp I went last year as well it is just amazing to here these women speak. I Will be going with a group of ladies from my church. There will be thousands and thousands of women. It is just beautiful to hear all of us sing and amazing to here the silence when someone is praying. It is truly an experience that I am glad to be able to attend.

Well I have lived with my new title for a bit now and its not working for me, ( I have issues so sorry ) I was telling my husband that my favorite word is enchanting I just love it, and love what it means

en·chant·ingFunction: adjective: CHARMING - en·chant·ing·ly adverb So I think that for the last time I will change the name to Enchanting Cottage
Thank-you for putting up with the new blogger in town!!!!

WOW! Is all I can say, there are some very talented people out there. The blogs that I read and look at are just beautiful. I was wondering if these ladies work outside of there homes because there gardens and homes are just perfect, and I love looking at them and getting wonderful ideas. It's better than looking at a book. Well I am not as talented as they are ( as you can see ) but I am working on getting my blog updated with something I just don't know what.
An update on my garden well I pulled some weeds and my DH mowed so as we speak it look nice but as soon as it gets cool that's when the BIG CHANGE will happen.Lots more before and after pictures will come your way.
Have a blessed day

Well I tell you there are so many wonderfully beautiful and inspiring blogs that I have been reading that I haven't got much accomplished lately, I haven't even had the time to put them in my favorite blogs so I can share them with everyone. I hope to do that when I am done posting today. I had some there but I took them out until I learned more about how to do it the right way. Thanks to Thriftshop Romantic at the Cottage living forum she was a big help, thank-you again. Every time I go to post one of my favorite blogs I end up reading it and then I never get to posting in. So here I go to post them wish me luck!

Goodmorning my blog friends,

Today will be busy busy for me I will have my 8 month grandson and 3 year old grandson I am not really too old but I sure get tired with these guys, but my home is there home. I thank the Lord daily for my grandchildren and the one on the way ( girl ) So I won't nest today ( play around the house ) I did feed the birds outside already so that my grandchildren can hear the birds and the water in the fountain.
Have a wonderful day

embarrassed because my garden

Is in need of so much but

it will be fun to post after

pictures.

Have a great day

Oh if anybody is bored your more than

welcome to come over and HELP!!

Here I was thinking about it over a month and then it just came to me. I have always always wanted to live in a cottage then my husband and I remodeled our home, and with in a blink of an eye it was like more of an old world style rather than a cottage. So I am trying to mix the two together. My passion is cottage style gardens that is how everything got started with me and our home. We were so busy with the inside that the outside was on hold. But now I am trying to work on both but its hard to decide where the money should go inside or out.

But for now the outside just needs weeding and some T.L.C and after that I will start to buy lots more flowers. I just got this table ( free ) for outside it needs some work but I think I can do it. We have a glass top one now and it always looks dirty so I am hoping this turns out nice here is the picture

I can not decide what color to paint it I was thinking white at first then black to go with my chairs ,I have a long time untill it is ready to paint so I will post an after picture for everyone. In the morning I will post more pictures of my garden ( I will try to leave the weeds out )

Have a blessed day

Well I am thinking of a new title for my blog. I am sure it will take me a while because it needs to be something that I will keep this time. When I first started this blog it was going to be more about my frugal life style,then I just started talking about our home and the passion was there. I will alway be frugal because I want to be and because I need to be. I feel being frugal just helps everyone not just myself.
So anyway I will be having a new name soon and I hope that all of my 3 readers still come and visit.

Okay I have a secret, I have this passion for fountains in the garden, I have 3 and just bought another one but it was such a good price it was marked down to $25.00 It is a small fountain for the patio. It is so cute it has a watering can that the water comes out of. My husbands friend gave us a fountain to hang on the wall, we are going to put it on the back of the house that would be a bedroom wall and then we can see it when we are outside and here it when we are inside I wanted to paint it a bronze color before we put it up , it is a grey color with white dots on it now. I am going to plant a climbing fig on the wall and keep it trimmed around the fountain, I will take before pitchers and after. It will take some time before the fig gets full enough to cover the wall.
Have a blessed day.

Well here is the sign I bought yesterday, sorry about the flash I will get better the more I do it ( hopefully ) What is so nice is my husband likes the sign just as much as I do.

I don't have very much color in our home so this greenish color stands out.

Its going to be a busy weekend end so come Monday I hope I can get some weeding done it's pretty bad!!!

Okay, I confess I went shopping yesterday my grand total that I spent was about $55.00 and I feel so guilty. I just don't go shopping much anymore so I guess $55.00 is not so bad if I look at it like that. I just think sometimes its jut STUFF I don't really need. Today I will try to post a picture of the sign I bought for $14.00 it's beautiful it says BELIEVE on it. I like have small words around that say something about Jesus I have another one that says PRAY on it.I hope that people know I have the Lord in my life just by my personality but I still like them to know it when they see small things like the believe and pray signs in our home.
Have a blessed day

I got some sad news last night a lady from our church past away. Katie Sharp is her name and she had two grandson one almost 4 ( the same age as mine ) and a newborn. She had cancer about 5 or 6 years ago and just the past two weeks she has not felt good at all. I think she knew what was going on. The doctor told her the same thing they told her the first time that they can't see anything and that you are a anemic. Thats what I was told from another lady at church. I think thats when she knew right then! We shared a bond with our grandchildren she loved them soooo much as I do mine. Well she can watch over them from a special place called Heaven!
