The Faithful Cottage

06/17/2026

Hello friends 🍃
Let me tell you about my friend Phil. When I started Coastal Blue here at the village several years ago.. Phil was here every day doing work on the village and in the garden. Each day he would come in and sit on the bench and we became great buddies talking about the Lord and life. If you go back to around February 14th on the Faithful Cottage FB page, you will see Phil and his wife and the pastor of our church, Pastor James, blessing the Bibles and crosses in the cottage.
Phil came by to see the Southport Smokehouse today because they had a fire at the restaurant last night. He came to Faithful Cottage, met some customers and shared stories and reminisced about when he started the Smokehouse bbq almost 35 years ago.  Phil is a man of faith, was a builder of dreams and carries a prayerful heart with him. His sweetheart and lovely wife Elaine needs healing prayers. We attend the same church and he shared they are caring for them and such a blessing. 
We talked about creating a newer and updated video of his recollections and memories of when he built the village. He has so many stories and memories that need to be shared. I came back to the village to open The Faithful Cottage because I love what he built here. I love the history behind it and the charm. While the village has changed over the years, his story has not.
Stay tuned, friends. 🙏🍃🩷

Today is the day!
We’re excited to welcome these beautiful handmade scripture artisan soaps by 99:1 Soaps!

Kristina came into The Faithful Cottage with her family to shop. They are a military family moving to Italy.. and she happens to make AMAZING soaps with scripture!
What a perfect addition to the gift baskets created for new moms, surgery recovery, healing or just because. 🍃

I love that she named them 99:1 Soaps…

The soaps are packaged so nicely and a scripture card is included.. such a nice touch! 🍃

Hello friends 🍃
Today was a really busy day at the Cottage.

A new customer shared the following with me..
“The Faithful Cottage reminds me of one of the nicest hospital gift shops… a place where you can find a gift for just about any need. You focus on people.
People celebrating.
People grieving.
People healing.
People searching for hope.
People needing encouragement.
A hospital gift shop isn’t remembered because of what it sells -it’s remembered because of how it helps people care for one another during important moments.
That’s exactly what you’ve built.”

What a blessing 🩷
Thank you for allowing me to serve your meaningful moments. Means the world to me.🍃

Much gratitude,
Kim

Hello friends 🍃
After a lot of conversation with many of you.. I’ve thoughtfully added more to the Comfort and Grief Collection. Here are a few special gifts designed to bring comfort and remind someone of any age that they are not alone:

🍃A Memory Bear with a place to insert a cherished 4x4 photo
🍃A Weighted Heart to hold close during difficult moments
🍃 A Comforting Giving Shawl - like a warm hug wrapped around your shoulders

Sometimes healing begins with simply knowing someone cares. These gifts are perfect for all ages and for many going through difficult stages of life.

🍃Introducing The Faithful Neighbor Fund 🍃

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been reminded just how difficult life has become for so many families.🍃

Recently, I watched a mom with three young children struggling to put groceries in her cart. It broke my heart. With school out for summer, many families lose access to school lunches. Seniors on fixed incomes are making impossible choices between food, medications, and daily necessities.🍃

As a community, I believe we can help.🍃

The Faithful Cottage is launching The Faithful Neighbor Fund — a simple way for us to come together and bless our neighbors in need.🍃

🍃How You Can Help
Donate gift cards in any amount from:
• Walmart
• Food Lion
• Lowe’s Foods
• Gas Stations
• Pharmacies
• Or any local store

🍃Drop off the donated gift cards to the Faithful Cottage during my open hours of
Tues- Wed- Fri- Sat
from 10am to 3pm

🍃Know Someone Who Could Use a Blessing?
You may privately nominate a family, senior citizen, widow, military family, or individual going through a difficult season.

🍃Given with Dignity
All gift cards will be distributed quietly and confidentially to those who need a little extra help and encouragement.

“Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” -1 John 3:18

Together, we can make a difference. Thank you, friends 🍃
