A very good morning to all! The New Year is approaching with rapid speed and I sure hope that it brings all good things to each and every one of you out there! It is a time of reflection so take a moment and look into your big heart and just think about all of the incredible things in your life that you have to be thankful for…believe me there are more than you would ever think. I know we might not feel that way when the tomato sauce over flows on the stove, when you go to make lunch for the kids and you forgot to buy snacks, or when much more serious things happen but there are truly things that are priceless in every single day.
As always it is now The Cottage Market Tradition to celebrate Thankful for my Followers Thursday and today is no different! Every Thursday a follower friend of TCM gets chosen randomly (I take all of the comments that are left through out the week and assign them a number and then I use the random counter and a winner is chosen…the more comments…the more chances to win! 🙂 so easy! I just wish everyone could win. Sometimes the it is a surprise and sometimes I let you know : )
Today’s winner is
Katie from

I’m a new follower, just a young college girl, but in loveeee with all things beautiful, heart-lifting, and intriguing. I came across this store on Etsy, and have gone crazy, looking through all the items! So of course, I had to check this out. I’m so excited to be following such a fitting blog as this!
It’s hard to find a blog that thoughtfully updates each day with unique posts. I appreciate it a lot.
