I have never written this whole story out before & it feels a little weird typing this out because it feels like a secret I've kept for so long, but as I sat down this week to talk about 'creating white cottage farm' our new series I was a little pulled to share just why this farm felt like an answer to so many prayers. I would feel more genuine sharing the terrible life event that happened right before we found White Cottage Farm that pushed us to say yes to the farm & move to our own…

A sincere exhale as I start to write this blog post. Since the end of last year the daily number one ask question, in-person and online, is all about my health journey. I know it's because that's when others could start to see progress on my health journey in the form of my body changing, but what no one knew is that so much had changed over the year from my mental health to my goals & beyond. But what most people focus on is the weight loss & I get it.... it's quite obvious & I was in those

Key the exhale! The White & Faded Launch at The Found Cottage went off with a massive bang!

Today is my 33rd birthday! I am feeling happiness, contentment, and so blessed to be able to share another year of my life with all of you! Each year on my birthday, I like to post some random facts about myself. This time, I had Jose and my team ask me questions. Because sometimes it's hard thinking about facts to share about yourself! Especially 33 of them! What is your full name? Everyone calls me Liz Marie, but my full name is Elizabeth Marie What is your Favorite Food? I love food, but…

I am so excited because we have a new décor launch with QVC. It has been a year since our last collection was released. This collection took a year of development. Lots of meetings, planning, designing, shifting, correcting, and so much more. Having the opportunity to create a décor line with QVC and bring my ideas and inspiration to life is a moment I will cherish and a big accomplishment. In May 2022, I launched my line with QVC hoping to bring elements of cozy antiques that inspire me…

From the time I was young my grandma had me obsessed with all things cabbage & basically anything that looked like it came out of a Beatrix Potter book. She always had Peter Rabbit books around, cabbage ware, & garden themed things from books to art. So it's no surprise that as a thirty something year old I am obsessed with all things Cozy Cottage Garden including Peter Rabbit, Garden themes, & of course cabbage ware along with any other thing shaped like a garden veggie. I recently got that…

As many of you know we have taken the drop ceilings out of the entire main floor in our house! We love how open it makes our house feel and how much bigger each room feels. So many of you have asked what our plans are for our ceilings ... will we leave them open or do something else with them? The answer is a little bit of both. For a while, we've left many of the rooms as open-concept ceilings. But we've decided that we are going to add to the ceilings, which will leave them partially…

I said I would do these posts once in a while & here is another one for you! Jose and I stayed home most of the week which is all parts fabulous & tiring. We had a full weekend of projects that completely wore me out, but were needed. A lot of them aren't 'blog worthy' projects, but normal farm fixer upper things that needed to be done. Nothing is quite finished that we were working on, but like I say all the time.. it's the progress that matters & man did we make some! We did do a few
