Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my Blogging Friends!

I just want to take a few minutes and thank all of you for bringing such joy and happiness into my life. For encouraging me to express myself. For allowing me to share my creativity. For inspiring me to try new things. For building my confidence.
For being my blogging friends. I love you all!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and the Best of Holidays!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Get plenty of rest too, because you know what

comes on December 26th!

Hope you find plenty of bargains!

~~~hugs~~~

Welcome to Sissie's Cottage. I love it when you stop by and love it even more when you leave a comment or just hang around. Sissie is a family nickname that my brother gave me the day I was born and it has stuck with me ever since. To me it's an endearing name that I've come to love. So, I'm Sissie to the ones I love, which includes all of my very special blogging friends. I love showing pictures of my home which I have decorated from top to bottom, and is still a work in progress. I love vintage, cottage, shabby, nordic and romantic styles. I have a shop spaces in the Calabash Trading Company in Calabash, NC This is where I sell my creations. You will also find me on Facebook and Instagram. I hope you will come back to see me often and, I'd love it too if you would become a follower. I'm so happy that you are here. hugs, Sissie
