Good morning my blogging friends,

I just wanted to let everyone now that I will be taken a week off. I truly need to do somethings around the house and organize somethings.( SO SAD ) I will miss everyone I hope to sneak a peak at all your blogs. I will see you all on Monday March 10.

Another Magazine

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

This is my favorite magazine ever. But don't ask me why but I do not have a subscription to it, its the funniest thing I know. Another magazine came in the mail yesterday, so maybe in a week or two I will have time to read it. I get Cottage Living and Victoria in the mail. I am working on getting Romantic Homes, I noticed eBay has a subscription for 2 years for $20.00 ( ish ) so I may go that route. I am having a hard time justifying getting 3 magazines in the mail after all I am on a BIG budget and I do try my best to be frugal. SO this is the deal if I don't get a subscription to Romantic Homes and buy it every month anyways then that's not being very frugal now is it!~~~~

I am Proud to Announce

Here are the picture's of the give away that Sharon won. She does not have a blog yet ( maybe soon so we can visit her) So I am going to post these for her. She got her yummy gifts in the mail yesterday. They are handmade soaps,body wash, lotion, and a Lavender linen spray. All of these came from Gigi at
She makes some beautiful soaps that just fill wonderful and the linen spray I just can't get enough of . I love these products so much that I wanted to share them with the lucky person who won my giveaway.
Thank-you so much Gigi for making everything look so PRETTY and mailing them off to Sharon. You did all the hard work , while I just played. Thank-you for getting it off in the mail so soon. Everyone can read Sharon's comment on Monday's blog.
Have a wonderful day

My husband and I still need window coverings. We are going to but shutters on the front window but on the windows in the dinning room I really like this lace. I wanted to put a scallop shade underneath. I have always loved that look. Here are just a couple of pictures I found although the shade is not exactly what I had in mind it's the only one I could find . I truly need to add some homey things into our home so I think this may work. I am just window shopping for now but just thought I would share.

Mark 4:3
3"Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.
Have a blessed day,

Good morning

Francine Rivers

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage


My husband and I watch a wonderful movie. It is a movie called the Sin Eater. We both enjoyed it very much. These are the things that you will need.
If you like Francine Rivers I am sure you will love this movie. ENJOY!
For everyone who read my story about my blue pot you should go for a stroll over to http://athomeinscottsdale.blogspot.com/ and read about her beautiful blue pot.

The Blue Pot

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

Some of you may already know my husbands aunt at http://athomeinscottsdale.blogspot.com/ Well everytime we go to visit I fall in love with something that she has done. It could be something very simple or something that takes a bit of time. Well time is something I seem to lack, but when we were there in Jan. She had the most beautiful blue pot on her stove and yes it was a Martha Stewart blue pot. It was so beautiful in her white kitchen it just added such a perfect splash of color ( somthing else I lack ) Anyway I was thinkng I would love to do that but the Martha Stewart pot is not in my budget at this time. I think I would justify it if I needed a pot but to put on my stove for a splash of color I chose to wait. BUT I went to a yard sale and found a blue pot of course it's not the beautiful Martha Stewart blue but it's a good pot the name on the bottom is Club. You may of heard of this line I mayself have not. But for $2.00 I got me a blue pot to but on my stove for a splash of color that my kitchen is great need of. Below are the two blue pots.
I am sure one day I will need a new pot and yes it will be a Martha Stewart blue pot but for now this one will do. Thank-you again Charlotte for your inspiration. Martha Stewart pot

Have a great day sorry my post is so long.

A Beautiful Life

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage





My grandpa past away this week and I was reading my Bible and read this and I just couldn't help but think that I was meant to read this verse last night.
Proverbs 3
1 My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,
2 for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.


My grandpa was a Christian man he went to the same church for 75 years.
He was 103 went he went to be with our Lord.

Show and tell Friday

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage


For those of you who read my blog know that I don't do craft's. Not because I don't like to but because I am not very good at it. But what I do LOVE to make are these fairy gardens. I made this one for my sister in - law who just turned 50 this month. I make them in all sorts of pots put I chose to use a crate for this fairy garden.




OH ! and this little cottage lights up. I just see myself sitting inside this cottage with a cup of coffee, and after my coffee I would go and play in the garden. What a life!


And the winner is~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This would look pretty just out by the stove with cooking
utensil's in it.
I don't collect teapots but I do have a few they are pretty.


I just love black and white. These would look pretty on a
wall, even in a bedroom.


Okay one can never have too many of these precious teir dishes I think I have about 3 but I want more, OH I meen I NEED more!

OK this is something I can use, a pie plate. My pies don't

Mail Boxes

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

Well we have needed new mail boxes for about a year now, so we finaly went with our neighbors to pick one out that we both liked. We decided to get a mailbox with a lock on it. The old mail boxes you can just touch and they would wiggle, so it was just anyday that they were going to fall. I had so much fun picking out our new mail boxes. Here are the before pictures and after.


I was visiting Penny at http://lavenderhillstudio.blogspot.com/ and she shared some other blogs on her post the other day, so I visited this one http://evascountry.blogspot.com/ It is so beautiful. Although its not in english she does write in english on the bottom of her post. I just love all of her pictures also. And then of course it is the never ending of looking at all of her favorite blogs. Its a not wonder I don't get much done!!
Have a blessed day,
ginger

Bloggin Blessing

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

Bloggin Blessing



I have Bj at http://sweetnothingsbj.blogspot.com/ to thank for this very thoughtful tag. It is a bloggin blessing . Thank-you Bj for making me feel speical.


The idea…it’s a game of tag with a difference, rather than looking inwardly, we look outside ourselves and bless, praise and pray for 3 blog friends. By participating in this endeavour we not only make the recipient of the blessing feel valued and appreciated, but we are having some fun too. We’re going to see how far the bloggin’ blessings can travel around the world and how many people can be blessed! Recipients of a bloggin’ blessing may upload the above image to their sidebar if they choose .


Okay so you know what comes next. I always have a hard time with this part, but I am going to have to send this to



Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage


I have noticed this so much lately and I am so thank-full that we have the avenue of prayer.

1 John 5:14-15

14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

There are some of our blogging buddies in need of special prayers because of surgeries or illnesses or family members in need of prayer maybe today all of us can say a prayer for all of them.
