Ruth's Pillows

I love when a customer takes the time to bring her latest creation in to show me! Ruth had bought this
chenille sweatshirt at the East Lansing Art Fair a while ago. She was on her way to take it to the Women's Resource shop when it hit her! I think i'll make a pair of pillows out of it. And like all good women who sew, she got out her scraps of fabric and put together a darling pair of pillows.
Thank you for bringing your pillow in for me to see.

Squawk Design Works

These bird houses came in today via two adorable little gals.

They are full of talent. We now have Lucy's Nuggets' Fortune Cookies for dog treats. A fortune in every cookie. The girls baked dozens of dog biscuits. Available here at Anchor Cottage.






Pillows For The Project

I made 10 pillows for a project I am working on.

Two for the cozy den.

A pair for the blue, yellow and white bedroom.

Six pillows for the living room sofas.

Blue Yellow & White

Working on a project right now using blue and white in a golden yellow room w/white trim. Making pillows and putting together accessories. Keeping the red chairs in the picture! Found a beautiful photo, in Feb. House Beautiful, of a blue, yellow and white bedroom which knocked my socks off. Hope I can do as well.

Yellow Tulips

Just for the record, I planted pink tulips!

Pink would have been just as pretty.

But I have to say the yellow tulips are eye catching.

Anchor Cottage sure is sweet.

The inside is as cheerful as the outside. Come on in and see for yourself. Can't wait to see you:-)

Frank Crosby Scenic View Pottery

His pie plates are perfect for frittatas and quiches!


I have him featured with Susan McDuffie's aprons and tea towels.

The Brie bakers are the best. His utensil holders are combined with The French Farm olive wood utensils by Berard.

Putting Anchor Cottage Back Together Again

Running low on wall space.

Need a bigger table.

I love the new Emma Bridgewater "Red Star" pattern. Money's folk art works with everything!

Lonnie and Twyla Money are known for their painted chickens. This year they painted their chickens on canvas!  

Couldn't help but put these two artists together. Their colors wake up my day:)
