Rosebud Snippets-"Spring Garden" as written by Martha Holbrook

To read the story of Rosebud Cottage go to RosebudCottageNC.com
Rosebud sat on her knees on the mound of soft pine needles she had gathered to mulch the new garden. Papa clicked his lips at old Pat, the big white farm horse. He lined up the pointed edge of the plow and started down the first row turning over the rich, brown dirt. Rosebud could smell the musty scent of the freshly upturned earth. It made her very happy picturing all the shades of green, the textures of the plants, and the wonderful surprise of the vegetables as they start to grow. Her garden basket held seeds for beans, corn, okra, lettuce, carrots, squash, peas, and other favorites. The onions and lettuce would be planted first. Papa winked at Rosebud as he brought Pat back up the second row. He smiled knowing how happy planting a new garden made Rosebud.

OX will love you and hug you with his ears because he has short arms. Big Toe, Babo's Bird and Puglee are some of the other fun characters. Cute and cuddly. Lots of fun just waiting for you!

Christmas 2008

This was our first Christmas at our new location. We had a great season and lots of fun with customers. We added to the front some additional blue woodwork and a white picket fence. White lights, a wreath and greenery set the front for our Christmas season. Rosebud greeted guests during the WindowWonderland event held on the first 2 Friday nights in December. Shops have live Victorian characters in the windows and were open until 8pm. Rosebud Cottage served hot cider for shoppers.

The shop was decorated with a flower tree and garden ornaments. Just inside the store was a Santa table with special Santas, trees, and snowmen.In the bench beside the flower tree we displayed Grandmothers gift giving items. Teasets, dolls, samplers bragging about grandchildren, and toys. Shoppers could come in out of the cold and warm up by the fire while they shopped and visited. In our parlor we have two sofas for weary husbands to rest or friends to take a few minutes to sit and chat and take a break.

Rosebud Cottage also featured a doll tree in the parlor. Behind the fireplace in the background is the wedding gown display. We offer over 100 gowns at 50% discount. New accessories are also available. Christmas time is such a great time, we met some really great people this year.





Nostalgic decorations, ornaments, plaques, books, and dishware were part of this display.



Sale time has arrived and all remaining Christmas is 50% off. We are planning for our trip to the gift market to look for cute Spring items.
Time passes so quickly. Enjoy each and every day!

We've Moved to a New Location!

Whew...We have just moved to a new location on main street. Exactly 3 weeks ago we closed and started packing, cleaning, painting, and moving. We reopened the shop last week and now we are trying to catch our breath. But all looks great.
My husband is still with me and truth be told I think he is happy with how everything
turned out. He is my painter and moving supervisor.
Here is a picture of the front door. We painted the woodwork a great blue and
had the sign company design a picket fence. Hope you like it. I will add some
shots of the interior next. The new address is 28A East Main Street. To the left is
"Chocolate Obsession", chocolates, candies, & ice cream. To the right is "Main Street Coffee", coffee and tea. I am loving the new location. Looking forward to seeing you.

Spring Fever

It is so beautiful outside today.

The sun is shining, birds are singing, grass is green.

I love spring and I have a very bad case of spring fever today.

I was driving through town and flowers are blooming in front

of picket fences and people are planting in planters and pots. I

hope you are able to get outside and take a walk and breath deeply

all the spring fragrances.

I'm glad Rosebud Cottage features the look and feel of Spring since

I have to be inside.
