Oh my goodness guys I can’t believe that I’m putting this out in the universe the amount of butterflies I have is unreal! I WROTE A BOOK! okay… I said it, key the exhale. It feels so good to put that out there!
If you have been coming by the blog or following us on Instagram, you know how much love I have for everything Cozy… so when I was asked to write a book, and quickly followed up with- what would you write about, the first thing I could think of is an entire book about making your home cozy, regardless of style! So here we are announcing the pre-launch of our book, Cozy White Cottage – 100 ways to love the feeling of being home. AHHHHH It feels so amazing to put that out in the universe. I can’t wait for you guys to have this book in your hands & to read all of the simple and approachable ways to truly love the feeling of coming home.
So last year, one of the toughest and darkest times in my life (of course before Cope), I set out on this project of writing a book. You may have noticed a little bit of absence on my part here on the blog and on social media… it was because among all the things I was doing, I was writing a book. When I started I knew NOTHING about being an author or what it took to write a book. Now that I’m done, I still feel like I don’t know… Not really, but wow what a season that was! There were so many times I felt overwelmed, frustrated, creatively challenged, & completely stumped & I wanted to come share that with you, but I couldn’t. Now I feel like we have so many things to talk about. My 30th year was one of the most challenging years of my life and add that on top of going through a huge life change, losing our 9th baby, living in a fixer-upper that was very unfinished & just got a working kitchen… I wrote a book. I’m not saying that to complain, but to say that there is never a perfect time to chase your dreams. I hope that I can talk more about this & share more about this to inspire you to chase your dreams… THERE IS NEVER A PERFECT TIME! Just do it… sorry Nike, had to steal that one from ya.
So here we are. The book is ready for pre-order. It comes out officially on September 24th, but I would love for you to pre-order the book [HERE] because it shows retailers that there is excitement for the book & that would mean the world to us! Also, with your preorder you can get our presets for free!! HOW AMAZING IS THAT? I will be chatting a whole lot more on the book very soon, but today is all about the pre-launch & me saying thank you to you guys for always being here for every part of our journey and for celebrating with us in the highs & praying for us in the lows… IT MEANS THE WORLD TO US!!!!!! I hope this book brings you so much joy when you get it in your hands & I hope it becomes one of your new favorite cozy reads. Love you all to the moon and back… xoxo
![*scroll for more spooky surprises* Halloween decor, but make it all antique finds 👏🏼🕯️🧹 Honestly, I love sharing new cozy sources, but I do pray that my legacy here is that I shared more antique finds than new, more thrift tips than new find tips, & more how to reuse items than buy latest trends. These dolls spoke to me this weekend. I’ve already had a few in my Halloween boxes, but this time I truly studied how they were made, their unique faces on every one, & how differently each was manufactured by the country of origin & date. I love the art of them & I don’t think they will just be in our Halloween decor, but also in our everyday decor displayed in a different way. But for now, here is some neutral Halloween decor inspiration & some inspiration for your next antiquing adventure [see my last reel for more antique fall collections to hopefully inspire you!] what do you think of this found neutral Halloween mood board? 🕯️🤍🧹🐑](https://www.lizmarieblog.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png)

So if you could just donate the free ones to someone who wants them or whoever you choose. Love supporting you and your dreams.?♥️

Congratulations!!! So happy for you, thanks for inspiring us all to follow our dreams. Can’t wait to order your book!
Hi, I’ve ordered your book from Amazon and cannot wait to receive it. Thank you for the presets. I received your email with the presets but I cannot open the link (the link is blank).
I preordered! Can’t wait! Is this where I comment to receive the presets?
I’m excited for you! Have been following along for a couple years now! I preordered the book…..the bonus presets don’t seem to be working…do they no thanks work if I ordered from Amazon.ca?
?
I preordered, and while I am excited to get my copy, i think the best part of this whole post is the way that Cope is looking at you in all of the pictures ? Congratulations! It is so good to witness good things happening to good people.
Congratulations! I’ve never preordered a book, its fun having something to look forward to! ?Can’t wait for it.
I’m sorry I’ve tried but I can’t get the presets. I downloaded them into Google Drive but I can’t open them 🙁 I feel so silly. I know Jose did a tutorial when they first came out, can he do that again please?
Again I’m so beyond excited for you and your family. This is a big accomplishment and you should be very proud. I Pre-ordered and I can’t wait for my special book delivery!

I just found you when searching on amazon. Your new book looks so good. I am soon leaving my beautiful home due to health reasons and inability to keep it up. We will be building a Southern Living design the was house of the year a few years back. It is like a farmhouse with another little house attached for the master suite and a tiny house attached to the sunroom for guest. I know I will love perusing your ideas. I also studied design but it was many years and have always loved decorating. I have started putting a lot of my house I am now in on my pinterest board “The House I’ll be Sad to Leave” and another board “I Love the Creatures and Flowers in my Garden”. I also like to use antiques in my garden. I have an old ringer washer, claw foot bathtub, bicycle, and old metal bathtub with flowers in them among other things. If you get a chance checkout my boards and you will see we have a lot in common. My house is peach and white with a gazebo on the end.
I just pre-ordered your book! I can’t wait to get it in the mail in a few months! 🙂 I love your style, your personality, your farm fam, and everything in-between! You’re an inspiration and such a wonderful person!
So excited for you. I placed my prr order today on Amazon. My order number is 111-43579533-1954649. Email address is nurskim05@hotmail.com. Can’t wait till September when its finally released. Thank you for continously taking us on your life journeys and encouraging us to all follow our own dreams.
Our book is pre-ordered and we are quite anxiious to see it.
Best of luck to you.
HI, I order my book from Amazon Looking forward to reading it. God bless us with a great granddaughter who is now 6 and a half months old. Time is going by to fast. So happy for you and your husband being so happy with your son. Love your blog.
Congratulations Liz!! This is a huge accomplishment and it takes a special talent and patience to go through with writing a book! I look forward to reading it! Question regarding the presets. I pre-ordered my copy and filled out the form from your post but didn’t receive an email or anything. Am I missing something?
