Our Little Garden Cottage

Hello everyone,

I am sharing our little garden cottage with you today. It was used by our children when they lived at home but since then I think you would have to say it is my little play house-I'm not too old to play am I? I enjoy setting it up each spring and changing a few things from year to year.

We have our first house and garden tour on Saturday with 16 visitors from Japan. This little cottage is always one of the high lights of the tour . I always have quiet background music playing and some fresh bouquets of flowers -hopefully fragrant ones to enjoy their sweet perfume.

I love the dollhouse that I found at a thrift shop in Maine for $20. a few years ago. Our little grandchildren love it too!(I did but it for them,honest)

The vanity came from a yard sale a few years ago also. Actually,everything in here was free or cheap.

This is shot through the screen at the south end of the cottage-the french doors are usually open all summer.

This is a shot of the outside a few days ago -you can see our garden is just starting to fill in.

The cherry tree and the pear tree are in blossom by the cottage now.

This is our little granddaughter Abby who just celebrated her third birthday with a big family dinner. She was so excited !

You gotta love that hat and I bet you will see more of it before the summer is over! I am joining in with Cielo's Show off your Cottage Monday at the beautiful House in the Roses. Hopefully you can join in too.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn
