Just wishin I was here

I don’t know where this is but it looks awesome!
I wish I was there…I can feel a cool breeze gently blowing in…and maybe even needing to put a sweatshirt on after a fun day at the beach…Instead I am here in hot Texas with humidity.
It could be worse my precious husband just returned from a 3 week jaunt all over Asia where it was in the mid 90’s with 90 to 95% humidity!!!
Can you even imagine!
Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • That looks wonderful! We always get terrible humidity this time of year. Being on the shore is so much nicer. Thanks for stopping by.

  • I wish I was there too!!
    I found this great wallpaper background for my computer at work; it shows two white beach chairs in the shade of a palm tree on a white sand beach that is deserted except for a sea gull. The chairs are facing the incredible aqua blue ocean, which is probably the Caribbean.....I look at it every day and imagine myself there!! :-)

  • Hi from Frog Hollow Farm! That photo reminds me of the entrances to the beaches in many of the small towns on Long Beach Island in New Jersey. It's also reminding me that I need to get my bike out and begin riding again. Thanks for sharing! Ciao, bella!

  • I agree, I'd like to be there with that sand between my toes. It looks like Nantucket or Cape Cod to me. :-) Anyway, that's where I'd like to be! ~ Sarah

  • My dh has been working in LA & AL since June 12th.
    He tells me he has never felt heat like that before.
    He is born & bred in Jersey.
    I just laugh at him!

  • I agree with you! We were just in San Francisco for the day-overcast and 50s. Now back home in the valley and back in the high 80's. Just not the humidity! I would love to wear a sweater and ride that bike a way as well.
