Melissa,
ReplyDeleteAs I said in my previous comment - very clever. Perhaps we should all have cottage parties for those who are stitching up cottages! I am preparing to sew my cottages together today and do a little cleaning in my sewing room, too. Lovely rainy day here and I say, lovely because rain on the roof is one of my favorite sounds. Perhaps I should do a cottage with rain falling from the sky. Hmmm......somewhere I have just the fabric.... :-)
the cottage tour was great! thank you so much for all the hard work....this party to me just kicks off the festivities to the holiday season that is fast approaching!!
ReplyDeleteGreat party. My email is
