Welcome friends! I am going to be doing a little something new on Saturdays. The Cottage Market in the early years (aka…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. So I thought it was time to bring it back and even add a bit more fun to it, because I am going to be adding a little Giveaway each week…a little something that I found fun and thought you would enjoy. 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 “little things” and the important things in life like kindness…compassion…health…family…love of animal…charity…well I think you get the picture… So on Saturday’s sharing some fun links…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 facet to Saturday’s also…for EACH comment left The Cottage Market…aka myself and my family will be donating a $1 to a deserving charity each week which we will announce and be accountable for…so let’s 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 year…it’s a way of giving back and that is so very important to us. So come on in an enjoy…spread the love and maybe win a little something cool! Scroll on down to see this weeks FUN Giveaway! (remember…blue words are clickable : )
