Another winter is here and so we reflect on what inspirations have occurred over the last few winter seasons.
Blessings
The Cottage Blessing rug combines the ancient celebration of light with a modern day blessing.Irish blessings can be heard or seen displayed in homes around the world. In Newfoundland they are very popular. The rug was inspired by a plaque that was given to me (Maxine Ennis) that says:
May friends and family
Bring light to the cottage
Warmth to the hearth
And joy to the soul.
Blessings may be long or short, humorous or serious, but all are about
welcoming, warmth and finding the positive, often in difficult
circumstances.

Poem by Frances Ennis
Dancing fingers of bold color
Stretching wide to awaken all that sleeps.
Whispers of song caressing souls.
Awaiting
Light after the longest dark.
Rejoicing
Day after the longest night.
Wishing you Peace, Joy and Happiness during the holiday season,
and throughout the New Year.
Stretching wide to awaken all that sleeps.
Whispers of song caressing souls.
Awaiting
Light after the longest dark.
Rejoicing
Day after the longest night.
Wishing you Peace, Joy and Happiness during the holiday season,
and throughout the New Year.
