Merry Christmas to all...

Christmas is almost here and the New Year is just around the corner! It's so hard to believe Christmas day is just five days away! It seems like yesterday when Shabby Cottage Shops was just a dream and we are now almost six months old! Where has the time gone? It's been a very busy six months!

We have many fabulous shops with the most wonderful owners offering a wide array of gorgeous items! Each shop owner is so unique in their very own way and have the kindest hearts, not to mention the wonderful variety of fun personalities. I am thrilled I have been allowed to get to know each member individually and thank them for the vote of confidence they have extended to me and Shabby Cottage Shops, during our first six months as a new online shopping mall, for without each and everyone of you, Shabby Cottage Shops would not be!

I would also like to thank several online shopping malls, especially Joyce, of Make Mine Pink and Polly, of the French Cupboard, who so graciously embraced us with open arms and included us in so many wonderful events! As Joyce would say, "it's all about women helping women"! To all of you who have supported us, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Wishing everyone warm wishes, wonderful times with family and friends, enjoy the upcoming holiday season!

Helping The Pink Slipper Project ~ Warming Hearts and Souls!

We are so thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful challenge! This is another one of "The Pink Slipper Projects", the "Comfort Challenge III". There were 12 moms and 22 children in the Christian Outreach Program in California. Joyce, the founder of Make Mine Pink called everyone into action to participate and help ensure these very special kids and their moms would have a little something for Christmas!

The challenge was met by so many wonderful contributors, ladies who sew their hearts out to "warm the hearts and soles" of those less fortunate than we are!

These are the stockings my 9 year old granddaughter, Lauren and I created to help make their Christmas morning very special! We would like to wish every mom and child a "Very Merry Magical Christmas" and best wishes for a bright and happy Holiday Season!

Please stop by "The Pink Slipper Project" and see what the next challenge is and help support these wonderful events, it will certainly "warm your heart and soul"! You'll find some of the prettiest stockings and slippers created by some very special ladies, won't you come join us in the next challenge?
