Cottage Blues

Hello everyone,

     I am so glad you came to visit me today because I have been playing in our little garden cottage again. I decided to try a different color scheme with a few things I already had. The chenille bedspread I bought at a thrift shop a few years ago and I paid less then $2. for it.

 As many of you know our little cottage has been furnished with  mostly second hand 'stuff '.

The scrolled iron mirror on the wall is the exception as it came from Homesense a few years ago and is usually out on the veranda in the summer.

  Sadly, I am back to faux flowers as my garden has past. The little teapot was a yardsale find that matched my color scheme nicely. So,how about a spot of tea or would you prefer some hot chocolate?

 The bed canopy also came from the 70 mile yard sale last year. I love the soft romantic look it gives the old iron bed.

The pretty bowl is one of the few things I found at Homesense on our girls day out trip.I enjoyed the day but did not find as much to tempt me as I had hoped although my armoire has a few new sweaters!

  I have a few more photos to share with you but that will be another post- I hope you will be back!

 We had a ton of rain on the weekend but still very mild temperatures for this time of year. However, I am hoping we get some sunshine soon.

   I have been working on starting a Christmas blog so I will let you know when it is ready.

   I just realized that I have reached the 1000 followers mark!!! Thank you to all of you who follow- I so enjoy sharing with all of you-THANK YOU so much!

 Today I am joining Cielo at The House in the Roses for ' Show off your cottage Monday'. I hope you will have some time to check it out if you haven't already.
 I am also joining Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for her lovely TeaTime Tuesday. Thank you Sandi and Cielo for hosting these lovely parties.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn
