Saturday Spotlight: Life Behind the Blogger


Susan from Must Love Junk, and myself wanted to do a regular feature on our blogs, something unique that hasn't been done before.   So we came up with an idea to 'spotlight the real life behind the blogger' in a more personal way.
There is so much talent and inspiration in blogland, and we thought it would be fun to bring you a closer look at the person behind the blog.

Every week on Saturday we will spotlight a blogger and have them tell us a little bit about themselves and their blogs.  You will be able to see and read about each of the bloggers on both Susan's and my blog.

Happy Saturday
I have the great pleasure to introduce you to a sweet blogger Di from Cottage Wishes.  Enjoy reading and getting to know Di.  Then hop over and check our her wonderful blog.



When Kris invited me to share about myself on the spotlight at Junk Chic Cottage, I was thrilled.  I am Di from Cottage-Wishes

I started my blog when I moved to Asheville, North Carolina.  I wanted to create a blog about everything I would want in a Cottage and called it Cottage-Wishes!

My wish was to create a wonderful home to share with my grandboys, hubby, girls and their husbands.   I have been married to my wonderful hubby for 40 years.  We have been to waterfalls, parks and mountains.

 



Along the way I have shared my adventures around and about town.  I have tried new things from my blogging friends and learned alot about myself.  I try to encourage fun in my family.  My grandboys are keeping hubby and me young.

We have two (yes two) yorkie puppies...we just couldn't separate them and leave one behind.  They have gone from 2 pounds to 10 pounds, hopefully they will stop there.


 Four sweet boys that call me Granon (Gran - non)  
 I love shabby chic, nordic and french style! 
 I am truly blessed



 I have found and copied many good ideas from my blogging friends


 I have way too many collections and do like blue and white


 I love to paint with Annie Sloan Chalk paint
I hope you will stop by and chat and let's share our adventures!
Thank you Kris for inviting me over!
Di





Thank you Di for letting us get to know you better.   I do not know who is cuter those two Yorkie's or the 4 grandsons.  All are adorable.  Now that you have gotten to know Di please hop over to Susan's blog and get to know another sweet blogger Lin from A Tiny Cottage In The Woods.

Have a great week end.
Kris
