Jacaranda Cottage...













An impromptu luncheon is happening here tomorrow for 10 of us, so I had better strap on my lovely little cupcake apron, shake my tail feather, and hop into the kitchen to start baking up a storm! Before I do that though, I thought I'd wish you all a wonderfully fun weekend and leave you with some random photo's from around our little Jacaranda Cottage. So please, come in and make yourself at home. I'd love you to pop up at the island kitchen bench with a cuppa and chat with me while I'm baking! Wouldn't that be fun?! Happy weekend!

As I read your last post, I realized that your fall is opposite from our spring. How strange the world is...
Your cottage is absolutely delightful :) Have a great time at the luncheon,
Rue

Your cottage pictures are so delightful and inviting....wishing I could just pop over with my mug in hand and start baking with you. Your luncheon sounds like so much fun...and who would not have fun in such a lovely home. Your pictures are just beautiful! I loooooove your sheets so much! All of the colors throughout your cottage are just eye candy galore, so much fun to see!

Oh, how I enjoyed the little mini tour of your sweet cottage. i am always impressed with all the vivid colors of your home. I look at yours, walk into my living room that is mostly black and white and wonder, WHERE DID ALL THE COLOR GO? Oh, dear...I feel a remodel of colors coming on. Shhhh, don't mention it to Sweet Hubby...he is feeling poorly with an ole cold and not in the BESTEST mood right now. Give him a few days and he'll want color, too.
hugs, bj

Hey! I just want to tell you BOY DO I LOVE THE PRETTY AND FUN COLORS IN YOUR COTTAGE! I am shouting it because I really love the colors!!! Very nice! And the little roses, and the floral touches, and the little everythings. So nice.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit. You'll be seeing me around often ... I have you on my favorite bookmark list now because I think you are fun and I like your photos.

Enjoy your dinner party! Are we making mashed potatoes? Mmmm!

Lovely little snippets of your beautiful home Amanda. Would love to sit and chat over a cuppa with you. Of course I would require something sweet that you whipped up baking in your wonderful cupcake apron.

Hope you had a wonderful luncheon with your friends.
