Cottage & Family:
God

I am really excited to
have my daughter Kristin
join me at Katies Rose Cottage!

From Kristin.....

I am so excited to be starting this adventure with my mom :)
It is a joy to be able to work with her,
learn from her,
and get to indulge in
all things vintage! Here's a little about me~

My husband James and I have been married for 5 years
and we have a
little baby boy on the way (due less a couple of weeks from now!).
We are so excited and blessed to be parents and
I cannot wait to share our
little family with you as we grow!
I love to travel, so having a pilot for a dad and a travel photographer
for a husband works out perfectly
;) I adore cooking, creating, and all things vintage!
I've been
praying about God's direction for my job
for about three years and
with a little one on the way, I knew I had to make a change and start
doing something that will spark my passions
. While I've always wanted
to own my own business as so many member's
of my family do, the
opportunity just never presented itself.
However, going on all of my
mom's shopping adventures,
rummaging through her office to create new
treasures, and seeing the joy she has
in her job made me secretly want
to work alongside her.
Then, as I watched her grow in her business,
God did an amazing work!
He opened the door for me to partner with my
mom so I can finally do what I am so passionate about :)
I am thrilled
and blessed to have the opprtunity
to work along side of a godly,
creative, and beautiful woman, my mom :)

I am so excited that I

am going to be a grandma!!

Kristin {my daughter }is due June 8th!

I love how God prepares us for

each step of our children's lives ~

When my girls were little I didn't want

them to go school because that

meant they were growing up ~

Then I didn't want them to hit the

dreaded teenage years but

they were actually alot of fun ~

Then I didn't want them to leave

and go off to school or get married ~

They are both married now and my

husband and I LOVE this stage of life too!

Now we get to be grandparents and

even though we are way too young

{in our minds at least }we are

so excited!

I love how the Lord prepares us

for each age and stage of our lives!

I am constantly in awe of my son in laws photography work ~ He is truly talented ~

He will be showing his travel and landscape work at the Main and Vine Art Gallery in Keller Texas on Saturday, June 5th from 6-9 p.m. for Gallery Night ~ There will be other artists as well as music, wine, drinks and snacks ~

James not only does travel photography but family and wedding photography too ~

He was freaking me out getting this picture ~ it was so much scarier in real life ~

I was just looking at his pictures again to see which ones to put on my blog and it was pretty much impossible to choose ~ one of the thoughts that crossed my mind as I looked at them is what an awesome God we have ~ It is amazing at what He has created for us ~

You can see much more of his work on his website at James Brandon Photography ~ you can also follow his blog to see more and to see what he is working on here ~

He would love some suggestions on some cool places to see and photograph while on his upcoming destination wedding shoot in Cancun ~ If you have any ideas make sure and comment on his blog and let him know ~

He did this one of my husband and I in Hawaii that I love ~ I have shown you before but here is the link if you have not seen it ~
