Verbena Cottage: A Reflection of My Journey

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  It has been eight months since we started our online store.  Conceived from my passion of salvaged treasures and eclectic style and born from hard work and fierce determination, Verbena Cottage continues to evolve.


After three years of surviving cancer, I am grateful to have crossed miles of challenges that have grown with a positive attitude. Verbena Cottage has been my therapy to recovery.  I thank you for being part of my journey.  My success with Verbena Cottage has been in large part due to you, who have reached out to me via email and visited my website , followed me on Facebook and my blogs.  For those of you who supported me during local event sales in joining efforts with CCANN (Central California Association of Neonatal Nurses), I thank you for making it possible to fulfill my promises to give back to Breast Cancer and Diabetes Organizations, March of Dimes, and this month's event, Toys for Tots.


A new year comes and bigger goals are set, there are no true guarantees of what may become but true determination can fuel the torch to reach one's aspirations.  I am looking forward to a brighter new year with bigger dreams and meeting new friends along the way.  Wishing everyone a blessed 2012!


Besos,

Mary Ann
