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

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

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.
