Show Off Your Cottage Monday

Welcome to "SHOW OFF YOUR COTTAGE MONDAY", a blog party I host at the beginning of each week to celebrate the things we love about our homes and how we live.
The House in the Roses

Do you love your home passionately? I mean really really love your home like when you're away from home you dream of home and smell home, and you yearn for the coziness of that favorite nook, and the comfort of your own bed and the warmth of your clean hot tub? Oh I do! I do! I often find myself dreaming the day away in the busyness of my day. When I'm away from home I ache for the conviviality and coziness of my home. I'm already welcoming the glorious days of autumn at home. If you would close your eyes you would envision it too… The sweetness of settling down to a cozy evening in front of the fire, the scent and warmth of flickering candles in chilly nights or, as the world outside starts to change, just sitting in your favorite chair and be soothed by the simple things you love...
Ah yes, today I’m celebrating the arrival of the loveliest of all seasons and the mellowest month of all...
Welcome, September!
What are you celebrating today? I would love to hear all about it!
May your day be filled with blessings Like the sun that lights the sky, And may you always have the courage To spread your wings and fly!

  2. Cielo - I do feel the same way about my home that you do! I imagine different parts of it when I am not there, and think of what I can do, where I can be when I next get home. I am fortunate in that I get to spend a lot of time at home every day.
    I do look forward to the next season, because I know what it will be like at home each season, and how my home changes with the seasons. I welcome colder weather because I can be cosy at home.
    Your pictures are cosy, welcoming and beautiful!...as always.

  6. I have moved many, many times over our married life...sometimes across town...sometimes across the country...but I am always glad to come home no matter where it is. I find that the things I cannot live without has changed over the years. I don't need each object or piece of furniture to be perfect (as I used to think I did). I find that home to me is where my family finds safe harbor...and that is with me-in my perfect imperfectness;>) Thanks for sharing lovely YOU with us-for it is your beauty that shines through your home and all you do~ Diana

  14. What a beautiful post and a stunning vignette that you have created. I do ache for my home when I am away from it and the best part of my day is when I open my door and walk into my own personal paradise after a long day at work. I feel the most comfortable in my own home and I feel very lucky to have that special feeling!!
