Crossley Hideaway/Nellie's Cottage

Crossley Hideaway/Nellie's Cottage Crossley Hideaway is a private property retreat for women and their creative pursuits! Accommodation Update! Thank you for being a part of our lives.

We have a new venue Crossley Hideaway, a private property retreat. Nellie's Cottage closed on September 3, 2017 with the impact of Hurricane Harvey and the destruction of my daughter's home. We have loved getting to know & serve our retreaters for the last 7 years. My grandmother Nellie would be pleased that her home is now a haven for a great-granddaughter & her family in time of need. God bless everyone who has ever come to Nellie's Cottage!

Merry Christmas friends!
I hope your season is happy, bright & stress free (wink wink)…take a deep breath & stare at your tree in the dark while listening to your favorite Christmas music…it helps:)
I can’t complain, empty nesters have it much easier!
Thanks to all of you who came to Crossley Hideaway this year. I will have had 22 groups our first year back!
We are grateful. Thank you.
Wishing you a Christmas filled with the peace of Christ💙

Hi ladies!
Hoping you are warm & have electricity! We’ve been good so far...a great blessing since I waited too late to find an electric heater (for generator) and we have no firewood😜
How is everyone?

Hope it’s been a reasonable Monday friends!

It’s 68*, cloudy, & drizzly but here at www.instagram.com/crossleymanor I’m still basking in the glow of an “old girlfriend” week in Waco 🙌🏻

We may have brutal summers but the mild winters compensate:)

So why a winter wreath when it’s
not likely to snow here?

Well technically it’s winter...at least according to the calendar😏

I embellished this wreath a couple of years ago with yarn covered balls.

It’s just a wreath right?

Nope, it’s more.

It’s a festive greeting to welcome visitors...and I do have guests fairly often!

I’m a people gatherer, a southern hostess who can serve you barbque on paper plates, or Italian cream chicken in sparkly bowls😏

My momma taught me everything I needed to know about entertaining.

She’s the real deal since I dabble in paper plates more than real dishes😉

And does it even matter?

Not more than people feeling welcome, comfortable, and well fed like we do here in the south🤣

So just a wreath?

Nope.
It’s a seasonal welcome committee❄️

Sometimes it’s good to look around home & find greater meaning in surroundings.

You just might find a bit of joy you were missing.

Like my yarn wrapped styrofoam balls & a winter saying that has virtually no relevance in my climate❄️🤣❄️

Hi Ladies!
Hope everyone is having a relaxing lead into Christmas...haha.
Is that even possible?
We continue simplifying Christmas in our family and everyone is less stressed and less broke:)
If you need a last minute creative gift, these tote bags were super easy!
Fabric paint with a 12x12 stencil, iron on letters and ribbon...done!
