Cottage dreaming...

Just doing a little dreaming....!
(While home for the day with a sick little one:(


Ever look at a picture and think...humm...what would I add ?
Yeah...me too...
So glad you asked....
Other than myself sitting in an old white chair...drinking a cherry limeade...watching the whales jump in the distance...I would add: White flower boxes with lots of white flowers, blue hydrangea bushes along the sides of the house, a big old weathered cut out of a whale on the side of the house, and a great white weathered mailbox attached to the house on the front porch with an old welcome sign that looks like it is as old as the sea!

What do you think?
What would you add?

Cottage by the sea dreams.....

Dreaming today about my cottage by the sea...It has been a dream since I was a little girl. We lived in Massachusetts and we would vacation on the Cape (Cape Cod) often. One time we rented a tiny little shack up on a bluff overlooking the ocean. It was bare bones...but beautiful. I think I was in the third grade, and the "cottage bug" was born. I cannot count the days I have spent sitting, playing, reading, collecting walking on the beach...my dream is that it is everyday....someday!

This is an old piece of music I found while looking for cottage pictures one day...I would LOVE an original...but may have to simply print it onto a piece of watercolor paper and make it look old...then of course frame it and hang it in my cottage wannabe home!

Growing up near the Cape, Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket...one cannot help but love these pretty hydrangeas...which sprinkle the whole Cape every spring and summer! It is a beautiful dusting of lilacs, purples, blues and greens... like driving through a watercolor painting...breathtaking!

One of my "other" dreams is to own a little place like this! These flower and farmer market stores dot New England...you never know when you will drive up on one, and you never know just what you will find!
I literally dream of what would be in my store...flowers...
chippy painted old things...cupcakes...fruit...buckets&baskets....pies...lots of white pitchers...lolipops...penny candy....the list goes on...I already have the name...just waiting for the store!

It is good to dream!
You never know where a dream and a prayer might lead you one day!

What is your dream today!

Love and dreams, Tracey
