Moving Forward

Hi everyone!

I have found this week that seeing our Curiosity Cottage take off to new heights has left me excited to the point of being Giddy.  

Having a dream for 22 years and seeing that dream come to fruition AND for that it to be a success, well there is just no greater feeling.

Last week I added this vintage typewriter to our booth.  Not only did it sell, but it is going to be used in a MOVIE!!  WOW, this is like having your child elected for class president!!  

This is all because this business is like my baby!

It makes me look so forward to my Easter break at the college so I can create, create, create new things to add to our shop.  I'll keep you posted.

Memorial Day & Memories

Hi everyone!


What a beautiful day Memorial Day is; a day to honor those that serve to protect our precious freedom. Between the injury to my arm and last week’s intense stomach virus, I feel like I have been battling my own personal war. It would have been easy to not post today, after all the items I wanted to take photos of had not been dusted. My injury happened to my right arm and I am right handed, which has made some everyday tasks quite cumbersome. However, the honor that I feel after having been a part of the military community for most of my adult life makes my desire to write outweigh any physical discomfort I may be experiencing today.

My little collection represents the proud mommas everywhere; as well as the soldiers from different conflicts. To some these may just be bears, but to me bears just touch my heart.

So on this special day, take time to thank all that serve and have served our great nation. Also do not forget to remember the sacrifices that their families also make each and every day. May God Bless them all!!
