Saturday Spotlight at Junk Chic Cottage!




 Happy weekend, friends!

 Today I am so excited to be in the "spotlight" over at the gorgeous blog, Junk Chic Cottage.

 Kris has been so kind and encouraging to me as a new blogger, and I truly appreciate her very generous spirit and efforts to highlight bloggers and bring new friends to blogs. Her heart is as beautiful as her shabby chic home!

Thank you, Kris, and if you are a new visitor, I am so happy you are here! Welcome to our home away from home, Sea Glass Cottage!  I would love it if you could leave a comment so that I may follow you to your blog ~

    Hi Joanne! I have happened upon your blog in the past and always love reading about the coastal style of living. It is a world away from living in Upstate NY and a refreshing point of view! So nice to get to know you better through your Spotlight.

    Hello JoAnne! So nice to meet you. I enjoyed reading your story...the empty nest years are almost upon us as well and I like my towels on the floor, too! ;) Glad you are finding a way to enjoy them and how exciting for your daughter. I have theater babies, too!!

      Hi, Kim - I have visited your blog often and love that pop of RED in your lovely home! The trips to the beach do help when I'm feeling that empty nest! :)

    Good morning, Joanne, I enjoyed seeing you at Kris' blog and certainly have enjoyed scrolling down through pictures on this page of the lovely colors you use at your Sea Glass Cottage--and the colors do look like sea glass! I even spotted Buddy there! As an Aunt to three Cavaliers they have a special place in my heart. I've never been to New Orleans so will enjoy glimpses of your life there.

    Best to you,
    Dewena

Anyway, I told Kris I am your newest stalker...or follower...lol I am going to love getting to know you and will come back to read some of your older posts---just trying to catch up in blogland today. I'll put you on my sidebar so I don't miss a single post (I read from there). Hugs- Diana

    Hi Joanne!
    So glad to find your blog through Junk Chic Cottage! So nice to connect with other empty nesters! A few short years ago I spent quite a bit of time in your neck of the woods. My oldest daughter went to grad school at Tulane and my youngest son went to LSU for a couple of years before he transferred to OU to finish and graduate in his preferred major. Great memories of Louisiana for us all.
    Your home is lovely and I will spend a fun afternoon reading all your past posts.;-)

    Visiting you here from Kris' spotlight of your blog, and what a joy! You have a lovely home, and I can feel your pain at the empty nest - next year it could be a possibility for me, oh my, where did the years go! So glad to have found you, and hope to come visit you again soon! :)

    Hi Joanne, I hopped over from Kris's blog. Loved reading about you! How fun to live so close to the beach. Your home is beautiful! Looks like you have a couple of great kids and I totally understand that empty nest syndrome! It was hard for us at first, but now love, love it! Give it time, and I'm sure you'll come around. lol! Looking forward to getting to know you!

    Hi Joanne, I'm so happy to meet you. I'm a little late getting to visit today as I've been spending all day at a Witches Tea Party. You know how those witches are!! Your home is really lovely and I feel right at home at the beach as I grew up in Santa Cruz, CA. I would love for you to visit the Cottage. I live in the mountains now and love that too..Happy Weekend..Judy

    Loved your featured post at Junk Chic cottage, that is great! I loved seeing all the pics of your family and NO~ I think of you every time I watch LSU! Needless to say Alabama is a little worried about the upcoming game :)

      Thanks so much, Jenna-- I think of you, too, when keeping up with Alabama!!! ;) It's going to be an amazing game when we match up soon. Always is an experience when we play Bama -- nerves on edge! So sorry my son won't get to play at that one -- only senior band members go to away games. Roll Tide & Geaux Tigers!!

    Hi Joanne, I'm visiting from Junk Chic Cottage. Girl, you are living my coastal dream! ...and like me you're an empty nester who doesn't like to cook (woot woot). I see you're reading Kate Morton - I LOVE her books and have every one of them on my bookcase shelf. I haven't read The Lake House yet and it's on my Santa Please list. Your beach house looks gorgeous as I sit here drooling from the landlocked Canadian prairies.
