.::. Perfectly Appointed .::. Cottage Chic Originals

Hi, my name is Cathy. After managing life’s steady, often chaotic pace as a wife and mother of four; I found myself unable to sit still. It was time to redefine myself. Without much thought, it seemed natural for me to turn to my lifelong passion for designing, crafting and sewing using skills learned back in the day.

Some ten years ago, my calling came to light when after I designed and handmade a few tote bags or diaper bags that met rave reviews by family and friends. Now I get to play with beautiful fabrics in an array of eye-catching colors and textures. Some are vintage; most are cottons and or cotton blends. I love combining patterns for a touch of cottage chic whimsy, sometimes making no sense at all, but that’s the fun of it. My offerings include handmade, original designs, home décor, personal accessories, and a little bit of this and that. With me at the helm, you never know what might unfold. Sometimes I really get creative, drag out my painting supplies, and give a go at decorating ornaments, vintage train cases, wooden plaques, etc.

I personally make all of my products in the USA. Many hours go into each product with great attention to detail assuring you of receiving a professionally tailored handmade item. I don’t make or sell anything I wouldn’t enjoy owning or using myself.

I live in central South Carolina with my husband and our loyal Welsh Pembroke Corgi, Wally. At last count, we’ve been blessed with seven precious grandchildren. I support local theater, and public school arts programs. I am an advocate for abused, neglected and abandoned children.

I hope to soon have my blog available for you to follow my online endeavors as I embark on this www journey. Blogging! Please, could that be possible for this granny? Let me get this website jargon in gear first. Many blessings to you and thanks so much for reading a little bit about me. Please contact me if I can be of any help to you. Sincerely, Cathy
