Hot Spot: Chetolah Fresh Air Studio

Before I get to today’s Hot Spot, I wanted to say a quick thanks to Cottage Life’s deputy editor, Martin Zibauer, and to art director Kim Zagar for coming up with this snappy new look for my blog! I think the page not only looks great, but I hope it reads better too, and will [...]

Hammock roundup

Now that all the opening-up tasks are complete there will be loads of time to simply relax at the cottage for the rest of the summer, right? Ha, ha, funny joke.

I had a great time hanging out in the Cottage Life Booth, meeting exhibitors and attendees alike.
