Karins Kottage Happenings

Feeling inspired yet? But wait! There’s more excitement to share! Over here at Karin’s Kottage, we recently hosted a Valentine boutique that was a smashing success. With my daughters, sister, and I at the helm, we showcased handmade goodies that flew off the shelves.

Emily sold out out of her heart-shaped wooden candles! The dough bowl candles are made with soy wax. They have the most amazing scent. Everyone who came immediately bought a candle.

My 2-tier white wooden stands were a big hit! You can purchase the 2-tier stands and the candles here. We had amazing Valentine homemade treats, my sisters lavender rice bags, pink knitted make up bags, wall art etc.. the boutique was brimming with love and creativity.

You can watch my video of the boutique here.

Now it’s your turn to join in on the fun! Share your latest DIY projects, recipes, crafts etc. with everyone here on my linky party and let’s keep the creative vibes flowing. I can’t wait to see what you create!

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
