Things We Love...TEDDY BEARS!
Greetings from my Lavender Garden Cottage! I live in a lovely old 1890's cottage surrounded by beautiful flowers. I love the patina of old, worn, tarnished antiques and sell them in my Etsy shop. Welcome to my cottage lifestyle!

We Have Teeny, Tiny Lemons!
We have teeny, tiny lemons on our tree! All that fertilizing, potting & repotting, moving in and out doors and general hovering around the tree has finally paid off with teeny, tiny green lemons!
I can almost taste the (teeny, tiny) lemon tart I’m going to make with these!

Good Bye Winter...Hello Space Bags!
Living in a 120 year old house has its challenges. One of them is no closet space. We have 2 and a partial over the washer and dryer. Those two are small with very little hanging space in one and no shelves in the other. But both have a secret hidey hole above the closet for storing things like seasonal clothes. But this space is small and has doors, so everyting has to fit behind the doors. It is challenging, to say the least!
Then you walked into my life, Space Bags! Now my winter clothes are safely tucked away until next fall. No spiders, no dust, no struggling to get my Rubber Maid tubs up the ladder and into the cubby! I am in love with Space Bags!
Good bye winter wool sweaters! So long bulky snow boots! Bye-bye down jacket! Sayanora cashmere scarf and gloves! See you all next fall!

Indoor Kitties Gone Wild!
Well, not really.... These mostly indoor kitties were too scared to roam off the bench on the back porch.
They have forgotten how great fresh mown grass feels under their toosties. To chase birdies out by the feeders. To poop in my vegie garden. The bliss won't last long!
