About Me

Karen: Dear Friends, Thank you so very much for visiting me at the Cottage and Castle. I live in Western Canada and relax in paradise in Birch Bay, Washington. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 35 years and have 3 adult children - 2 boys and 1 girl, one daughter in law and a precious grand daughter and new grand son!. I love all things pretty and pink, especially flowers and china. I spend my free time searching for collectible treasures. I thank God for my many blessings! I wish you good health and happiness in all that you do!
