Im a southern girl who likes big porches, slip covered plush furniture in creams and white, where friends or family can linger. Welcome to My Texas Cottage.
I love gardens, baking, twinkle lights, retro treasures and a home filled with laughter! We’re so happy to have you spend a little time with us. As you may have guessed, we love all things Cottage and Texas. What a wonderful State, filled with great people with big ideas, open hearts and big hugs. Both are so welcoming! Beautiful roses cascading over the wooden fences, big wrap around porches with
comfy rockers. Truly the kind of place you can curl up and have a chat with family and friends. A cup of something in your hand with a sweet treat alongside and you can leave your cares at the door. Love the comfortable, casual elegance of cottage. Love some shabby, LOTS of white, some touches of French, beautiful linens, lace and ruffles. A beautifully set table, candles and thin china cups lovingly handed down from my Grandmother. We have a love of new and fresh designs but are also drawn to the romance of things with some age, some patina, and a history. Maybe it’s the writer in me, but if I see a stack of vintage suitcases, I wonder about who owned them, how far they’ve traveled and I want to know their story. I’m a true Southerner; I believe you show your love by feeding one and all. From intimate meals at home to church suppers and even larger events such as graduations, showers, weddings and even home goings. Nothing feeds the soul like sharing with each other – your love and your food. I want to share some special recipes with you that I hope will bring joy to you and all those you hold dear. We will also share some wonderful photography with you. We love that often, you don’t have to add a word, just let the picture tell the story. I am so grateful for the love and well wishes of my precious family and friends in this endeavor. I’m following my bliss as they say. I love that my niece, Caroline, has joined me on this treasure hunt. Caroline is world traveler and she'll have some wonderful stories and exotic pictures to share with you! We share a passion for life, color and design. Along with the fact that I love her dearly; she brings a fresh, talented point of view to our Cottage. Hope you can join us in following our dreams and maybe find your bliss along the way as well. Deborah
