Give Thanks!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!! It's a wonderful time to give thanks for all the things we have, and all we are able to give.....what a blessing it is to be able to give to others, not only in material things but something as simple as a smile or a kind word. There are so many things we can give away that will mean the world to your neighbor.
 In the hustle & bustle of getting the food on the table don't forget to give thanks to God for his provision of that food, and the family and friends you have the privilege to celebrate Thanksgiving with. 
 One of the many things I am thankful for is, my new sign!! 
As you all may know I have had to change my business name to The Espresso Cottage....so of course the signage will need changed as well so let me know what you think of the New look!!
 And Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!

Exciting Change!!!

Welcome to wonderful world or coffee, pastries & fudge!! The Coffee Cottage has undergone many different changes in it's little time in  business.....the latest change has been a most unexpected one. That is, it's name. A couple weeks ago, I received a letter from a lawyer representing a coffee shop that had the same name as my shop here in Nampa. So as there was no other recourse we here at "The Coffee Cottage" have been racking our brains in trying to think up a new name that fits the atmosphere & wonderful experience that comes with visiting the shop. So with great deliberation & much prayer, as well as help from you, my customers......we have decided on *tada* The Espresso Cottage.
There are so many exciting changes taking place here all the time so keep checking in to see the greatest & latest updates from The Espresso Cottage.
 Please keep in mind that this change does not affect ownership, gift certificates, or hours. As always looking forward to serving you!!

What a lovely day it is here at The Coffee Cottage!!! There are so many fun things that are changing, about to change , and will be changing over the next couple of weeks. Here are some of the things that have changed .................

Here are a few of the many to come, fall decor items in the gift shop!!
Even your laundry room could use a few fun things to make that "dreaded laundry" more bearable!!

A sneek peek!!

There's some fun changes going on here at The Coffee Cottage!! Fall will soon be here and since I like to be prepared I've started getting a few things in for the "cooler" season. Here are few of the new displays that are at the shop........
These fun little stuffed pumpkins are the perfect basket filler for your fall displays. Their cinnamon stick stems add a bit of spice to your decor!!
The fireplace mantel is a great way to show off your seasonal style............
The country scarecrow head is the perfect additive to a great fall display!! His primitive burlap hat with a rusty tin star, has enough curl on top to hang from a door knob or hook !!
Don't forget the yummy fall scented candles & melts by "Flickering Scents"......highly scented, locally hand poured- candles that burn evenly with no residue, and a smell that will fill your home with pure delight!!
See you soon!!

What God has done!!

Hello everyone!! I haven't blogged from The Coffee Cottage in a while, it's been so busy lately..... and that's a wonderful problem to have right?!:) As the customers were pouring in this morning, and the buzz of friendly conversation and fresh coffee brewing filled the air,

 I thought again of how the Lord has really blessed this little shop!!

It's amazing what God does when you let Him have control of things........I have met so many wonderful people and renewed old friendships with former customers I hadn't seen in a while!

As I was busily folding bar towels and getting things prepped and ready for the next rush, that song ran through my head......... God Is So Good To Me
 Has the Lord been good to you? If so please share what God has done for you this week.........it may just encourage someone else!! You could always stop by for coffee and tell me in person too!!:)Looking forward to serving you!! Charity~
