Introduction My name is Rose, and I live in a small historic town, located in the lower south of Mississippi. Our town, Laurel, has the largest and finest early 20th century architectural style homes and business's (360) in MS. Although we've only lived here 8 years, it has become home to me. I delight in the hospitality and southern charm of having a tea party in a beautiful garden, yes, we dress the part. It is the perfect place for a unique shop that offers handmade item, vintage finds and country decor. My husband, Walter and I live on a quite street lined with Magnolias, Oaks, and Dogwoods. Together we have 5 children. Our baby Molly,(10 mo. old Shih-tzu)is the only one still at home. Walter, a retired construction worker, will build anything I ask, he's so wonderful. My days are spent playin in my garden or having fun in my shop. I make candles, soap, specialty clothing for children, aprons, floral wreath and arrangements. I also refinish and recover furniture. Oh, how I could keep babbling, but I won't. I do hope you'll visit Sugarplum Cottage often, where we always have coffee brewing and tea cakes baking. Rose
