Vol 11. 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 : )

This Weekās Charity is: Street Tails Animal Rescue
Street Tails Animal Rescue (STAR) began in 2001, as founder Lindsay Condefer’s one-woman effort to literally save one dog at a time. Initially operating out of her pet store, the operation blossomed into its own location in 2011 with the help of friends and supporters. Since then, the number of animals STAR has helped place into loving, forever homes for has grown exponentially.
STAR’s mission is to help the homeless and unwanted animals, within the Philadelphia area, by helping them receive proper medical attention, educating the public on the importance of spaying and neutering, and by placing these animals in suitable, compatible, and most of all, loving homes.
We depend on helping hands to assist us in every day activities, chores, and, events. If you are interested in lending a helping hand or three, please email us at volunteer@streettails.org and tell us you’d like to help š

Thank goodness there are heroes for these disabled dogs giving them love and a better quality of life!
Hi there Carol…Thank God is right! It warms my heart to know they are out there to help the disabled. It’s a wonderful thing! Wishing you a wonderful weekend and sending hugs and love!
Love the posts! and the puppies… who doesn’t love puppies??
Who doesn’t LOVE PUPPIES!!!! : ) Sending tons of hugs and love to you and yours and we are wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Oh, I love the hummingbird mug. I am heading to Michael’s to buy the materials for that wreath! I think stained would be nice too, but I won’t do the extra step though.
Hi there Crystal…you have to let me know how the wreath turned out! I am so excited to see it!!! Sending you tons of hugs and love and wishes for a wonderful weekend!
I bought some roses and some of the greenery. The Michael’s I go to is moving across the street, so there inventory is low right now. So, I’ll need to go to another location to find the rest of the things I need. And I will probably exchange the roses I bought, they aren’t as realistic as the ones shown. I will show you a pic when I get it done though.
BTW – I see I won the mug! Yay! What do I do now?
That wreath idea! Definitely my next project.
Hi there Chelsea! Please let me know if you make the wreath…I would love to see it! Sending hugs and love to you and yours…wishing you a wonderful weekend!
