Vol 20. Welcome friends! I am going to be doing a little something new on Saturdays. The Cottage Market in the early years (akaā¦before I knew any thing about blogging lol) had a little segment called Down The Rabbit Hole. It was a collection of random links that I found throughout the week that I loved and think you will do. So I thought it was time to bring it back New and Improved, because I am going to be adding a little Giveaway each weekā¦a little something that I found fun and thought you would like. The items are not sponsored and are purchased directly by me to send you a smile. My approach to this New Year is living more simply and putting more emphasis on the ālittle thingsā and the important things in life like kindnessā¦compassionā¦healthā¦familyā¦love of animalā¦charityā¦well I think you get the pictureā¦ So on Saturdayās sharing some fun linksā¦sending someone a smile with a token of my appreciation will be the norm. You can enter the Giveaway by simply leaving a comment. There is another very important facet to Saturdayās Down The Rabbit Holeā¦for EACH comment left The Cottage Marketā¦aka myself and my family will be donating $1 to a deserving charity each week which we will announce and be accountable forā¦so letās leave those comments . Tell us what your favorite things are and spread the love. The Cottage Market is also making a personal pledge to donate 5 percent of our net earnings to Charity this yearā¦itās a way of giving back and that is so very important to us. So come on in an enjoyā¦spread the love and maybe win a little something cool while donating to charity. Scroll on down to see this weeks FUN Giveaway! (rememberā¦blue words are clickable : )

Love all the links! Especially the doggy family Instagram! So sweet! I also love this week’s rescue. My uncle just visited us and brought his mini dachshund. He adopted her when her previous person passed away. She never had to see a shelter : )
