Woodland Cottages

I was posting something in my Etsy shop earlier

today which I thought would be great for a woodland cottage.

And then I thought "Why do I never think about Woodland Cottages?"

You know I love cottages and cottage living, but I

never thought about a woodland cottage before.

So I did a Google search and found lots of woodland cottage diversity...

A woodland cottage by a stream!

A stone woodland cottage in the snow!

This woodland cottage is hidden behind trees and flowers!

How pretty is the setting for this woodland cottage?

A tiny woodland cottage on stilts!

This woodland cottage seems to melt into the scenery!

Look for more cottage styles in future posts!

Cottage Style Party #31

Frequently when I shoot photos for my Etsy shop 

I get a little carried away with the styling.

I end up with photos that feature cottage style 

rather than photos that feature the item.

These also happen to be some of my favorite photos!

Like this one...

Is this about the crochet tablecloth or the suitcases?

Does it matter?

Not to me as I love this photo taken in my garden two summers ago.

The suitcases and tablecloth are long gone and are being enjoyed by someone else now. 

But I still have this photo to remember them by!

Here's another one...

Is it about the wire cloche or the charming carrot plates?

I couldn't decide after I saw this photo and ended up selling them together.

I kinda wish I kept those carrot plates now!

Oh well, there is always more stuff to find.

Here's another goodie...

The first thing I thought of when I saw this handbag was market basket.

I loved staging it as a market basket.

I could just picture strolling through a French market, 

picking up the days meal, then tucking it in this basket!

The tulips are from my spring garden, the bread from the grocery store and 

the tomatoes are Granny Smith tomatoes from my garden the previous summer. 

Yes, they are keepers!

Sometimes having a memory in a photo is almost as good as having the stuff.

I try to remember this when I am contemplating selling my items from my cottage.

Though it would be nice to keep it all, no?

Still can't part with this hat!

Cottage Style Linky Part #16

While the calendar still says its fall,

the falling leaves outside tell me winter is closing in fast.

Inside my cottage, I'm still enjoying the simple things.

Like this small white pumpkin resting on 

a tarnished silver-plate tray on my kitchen table.

Or this old barn wood and chicken wire display 

filled with a faux apple and dried berries.

This weeks warm Indian summer days allow for dinner outside...

...this week anyway!

Welcome to the party that celebrates cottage style!

There was so much fabulous fall cottage style last week...where to begin?

I just love Jennifer's fall mantel display of shaker boxes. The crow perched on top really makes it!

Stop by her blog Decorated Chaos to see more of her thrifty decorating style!

How fresh is this all white fall decor?!

Visit Deb's blog Vintage on a Dime for more wonderful white on white on white!

Cottage Style Linky Party #15

I must admit

its not Halloween unless my skelies are

up and lit!

I picked up these LED lighted skeletons several years ago at a Halloween clearance sale.

It's just not Halloween time if they are not on the door and changing colors!

I still have the fall decorating bug and put my pumpkin on the porch rocking chair.

My pillow has finally faded to match!

I couldn't resist a basket full of pumpkins, squashes and hedge apples next to my mum and barberry.

Love this farmers egg basket!

I think you can put just about anything in there....

Well, almost anything...

(My boy who refused to cooperate!)
