Today is my first time joining Show Off Your Cottage Monday. Our host is
Cielo at The house in the roses. Please stop by and join in this whimsical cottage tour. You're sure to find many magical things along the way.
So what says cottage to you?
Florals and vintage images always say cottage to me, especially when decoupaged on cute little eggs.
This green wire tea cup certainly says cottage garden, but I thought the eggs would look nice peeking through on the mantel.
This beautiful egg shaped tin whispered cottage to me from across the thrift store. The stand is actually a glass floor protector that you put under the legs of furniture. Yes, I said glass. You see plastic or rubber ones in the hardware stores now. I have several of these that Hubby's grandmother used.
The back side of the egg is a floral pattern.
Well, look who hopped in. This happy rabbit was a gift from my mother. Thanks mom. He's full of cottage whimsy,
and so are the little friends he brought along. Can you find all three of them?
My spring heart from
Kathy's Cottage. Everything Kathy makes is full of cottage charm.
I had tried this spring banner but it wasn't quite right. The burlap heart said "spring at the cottage" in a more subtle way. Don't mind that little white box, pretend it doesn't exist, that's what I do.
Now about that rose print that is still leaning against the mirror. I have a question for you all. I haven't been happy with the mirror for a while. Most of the time all it reflects is the ceiling fan. I love the frame though and it's the right size for that area. I'm also starting to like the white around the red frame. Have you ever hung something on a mirror? I'm thinking I could use fishing line to hang the print from the same hook that holds the mirror on the picture rail. So please let me know, does a print over a mirror say "whimsical cottage" or just plain "crazy"?

It's a beautiful day in Central California, Sunny and 74 with a little breeze.
I thought I'd share this little book of Hummer's from the attic.
Now doesn't that put you in a Springy mood?
