Autumn Song
by Katherine Mansfield
Now's the time when children's noses
All become as red as roses
And the colour of their faces
Makes me think of orchard places
Where the juicy apples grow,
And tomatoes in a row.
And to-day the hardened sinner
Never could be late for dinner,
But will jump up to the table
Just as soon as he is able,
Ask for three times hot roast mutton--
Oh! the shocking little glutton.
Come then, find your ball and racket,
Pop into your winter jacket,
With the lovely bear-skin lining.
While the sun is brightly shining,
Let us run and play together
And just love the autumn weather.

Events this week......

Hello everyone..........this week Cozy Cottage Gifts and Decor will be participating in two events at Make Mine Pink. On Friday we will be one of the participating boutiques in the Friday Shopping Event and this week's theme is "Posh Tots". Do you need a gift for a special little girl or boy, or something to decorate their nursery or bedroom? We may have just what you are looking for right here in our "Posh Tots" Friday Shopping Event.

The other event we are signed up for is a new event hosted by Make Mine Pink. It is called Pink Twilight and it is a sale that lasts from 6pm until midnight EST. Partcipating boutiques including Cozy Cottage Gifts and Decor will be selling items at rock-bottom prices. Get there early because this sale will end promptly at midnight and once an item is gone, it is gone for ever!

Show and Tell Monday

Now that the weather is cooler and the air is crisp I've been thinking about the upcoming holidays. This week I worked on an old wooden tray that I've had for awhile and wasn't quite sure what I would do with. Now it is all dressed up for Christmas and ready to list at Cozy Cottage and Patchouli Rose Designs. My pictures are a little dark but I'll take more later on this week. Here is a sneak peak...........

I also have a new clipboard started......I used a vintage Christmas card to set the theme. It is a work in progress and will have much more embellishment when I am finished.

Have a wonderful week and remember it is only a little over two months until Christmas!

It's Friday again......time to go shopping!

That's right.....it's time for the Make Mine Pink Friday Shopping Event again and Cozy Cottage is thrilled with this week's theme. "Girly Finds" - what could be more fun? I have two new very girly items listed this week along with several items I have pulled from other categories on the Cozy Cottage website that are definitely of the girly persuasion. I hope you enjoy browsing our Friday Shopping Event and be sure to shop the other participating boutiques at Make Mine Pink.

Happy shopping!
