Cottage Style Party #27

Take time for myself.

I think this is the rule I will {try} to follow this year.

The idea of slowing down, taking 10 minutes, just for me....

...delicious!

I took a little tea time and cupcake break on Sunday 

and it was wonderful.

I felt refreshed!

This year I am going to take time to smell the, er, tulips...

...and roses and peonies and hydrangeas...

...and any other flower I find.

What are you doing for yourself this year?

Welcome to this weeks

Cottage Style Party!

This is week #27 and I have shorted the name of 

our party by one word to

Cottage Style Party.

Has a nice ring to it, yes?

And all the same great cottage style in a slightly shortened package!

Onto this weeks features...

And speaking of tea time...

I am not the only only taking a tea break!

I just love these tea cups at Pinecones and Acorns. See how Elizabeth likes to enjoy her tea!

How cute are these sweet lavender(!) heart shaped sachets?

Visit Jocelyne's blog Mon Petit Chou Chou  to see how she made these adorable sachets for only 49 cents each!

How lovely is this hutch from The Painted Drawer?

The color is so soft and pretty and oh-so-cottage!

Cottage Style Linky Party #26

Personal touches.

When I think of cottage style 

I think of personal touches.

Personal touches like collections.

I have had this collection of tomato ware for years.

It sits in the wavy glass front cabinet in my kitchen.

I love how cheerful it looks through the wavy glass!

And there's colorful Pyrex below...love it!

I love this old built in cabinet and its wavy glass.

It was the #1 thing that sold me on this cottage.

Here's a few gratuitous photos of my kitschy 50's tomato collection...

Pantry Pride tea set.

Bloody Mary's anyone?

Juice set for 6.

Do you have any collections that brighten your day?

Welcome to 

Cottage Style Linky Party #26!

I just love all the winter cottage style from last weeks party!

I just love Deb's philosophy about winter decorating!

Check out her blog Vintage on a Dime to see more of her winter decorations!

I just love Robins rustic farmhouse centerpiece! So simple, yet so elegant!

Check out her blog Happy at Home for her 2012 favorite posts!

These adorable stools are giving me an idea with my boring old black stool...hmmm...
