stitchin' and pitchin'

Not only are we into stitchin'...we are also into pitchin'

We are fans of Dixie High Softball!

Dana Brooks, the cottage's owner, keeps everyone updated on the Flyers' postseason successes.

Her daughter- in- law, Kim Brooks, is the pitcher.

Kim has quite a story... She missed out on her Jr. season to get married and have a baby... she is a perfect example of how your dreams in life don't have to end. She has shown everyone that when life throws a curve ball what is important is how you square up to the plate and SWING!
She is ranked as one of the best pitchers in the state and last week showed her stuff, by pitching 2 perfect games... NO HITTERS!
Here she is with her biggest fans... husband, Brayden and son, Bentley!
She knew that getting married her Junior Year of High School would mean making sacrifices, but with the support of her family, friends, and a great team... her story is one to be remembered!
GO FLYERS!


We LOVE #7!

Mothers Day Gift Ideas...

Mothers Day!

Does it get any better than that? What have you got for your mother for her big day? Or even better... what are you going to get for yourself for YOUR big day?

We have been planning this all spring... our cottage is pretty much a mother's gift paradise!

Here are a few ideas we have for you...

Jewelry and purses....

We have a brand new collection of vintage-like necklaces, personalized charms & other unique baubles that will make her ( your) day so special!

How about a new purse... we have so many to choose from you might need to get her two!

Aprons are the latest craze. They are not just for your grandma anymore! We have several EASY aprons to make right out of a tea towel. Easy and darling... a perfect match

These are so cute and so fun... she'll be happy to cook dinner and look like a domestic diva at the same time!

If you've pondered the Mothers Day question and still can't think of a fabulous gift... come in and have us assembly an amazing gift basket. You can choose the contents or let us create something unique for you!


Our last suggestion is one that anyone will love... a Lazy Daisy Cottage gift certificate.
You choose the amount...they choose what they want!
PERFECT!
Good Luck and happy shopping, but most importantly...
Happy Mothers Day!

Our Front Porch...

One of our favorite features of our cottage is the front porch!

When we chose this location we immediately fell in love with it!

We imagined quilts hanging and flower pots growing...

A few things we really didn't expect, but are certainly glad to have are...

husbands waiting...
So... feel free to bring your man to our porch!
We think you will work out great! He can sit on the porch and read the newspaper about dismal economic times you can do your best to stimulate the economy.
You can tell him you are being patriotic by shopping... The possibilities are endless...
You can pick out the perfect fabric, or take a class, or shop for some fun gifts...

And... he will entertain himself and ,hopefully, a few buddies on the porch!

p.s. if you get here and realize you've left your purse at home...

It is a good thing he is just steps away with his wallet!

Don't worry...

We have amazing purses for sale too!

We are here to take care of you!
