I saw this adorable cottage on Olivet (wonderful!) and I had to find more. I don't know if the day to day life of living in an old cottage would actually be sweet and cozy but it sure seems dreamy and romantic to think about! Cold weather and the seasons that come with it always make me dream of living in a quaint cottage! I found some very unique little houses around the internet. Aren't they lovely.

My plan is to go to bed and have cozy cottage dreams!
I hope your dreams are cozy tonight.

I was given a another sweet award (wow, such lovely people out there!)! This time by the very dreamy Micaela and her escape The Drifter and The Gypsy!

Thank you lovely Micaela!

I wanted to share with some talented blogs that have a lot of lovely words to share with us...

I wanted to pass this onto Jennifer and her Random Ramblings! She is the sweetest and writes her life in a line of wonderful short stories that make you laugh, love, and see life's little adventures as fun amusement park rides. Truly, go read! (p.s. she also helps save animals, whats not fabulous about that?!)
The Piper Society. I find this Avery unique and lovely. And even though at times she will use few words they are strong. I like it here.
Five Feet Below. She writes and writes and you want to keep reading. A little verse, a little poem, a paragraph or two.
Impluse. She is full of words that can move you around. In her own tongue, "I drink up metaphors and chew on words." She is also crafty.
I admire those who can move with words! Thank you!

I was also tagged and still have to share my love for the book I'm reading. I will save for tomorrow!

I shall need a bicycle!

I am ready for spring to sweep me away! I love the warmth of spring, how it just creeps in throughout the day. How it warms your cheeks and lights up the new green grass.If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. ~Nadine Stair

I think I shall need a bicycle for spring. One with a basket in the front to hold the flowers I want to buy. A bicycle and a garden with a gate. A Bicycle a garden with a gate, and the perfect picnic between the sun and the shade. Yes I think I will need these things!
This I found via Frolic. And I could not feel more like spring time while watching it. I would love, love, love to hang my clothes on the line and gather them up while barefoot. I think I have to move there.
It's actually from Charlotte Ronsons (her website is giving me trouble, will link later) Spring 2008 Campaign but spring is spring, right! Breath in the breezes...

I have a few things to post about, but they will have to be tomorrow. My head is aching and truthfully I have been so consumed by internet land that I have not done well with my reading. I am loving the book I am currently on and just bought a new one yesterday. So I really have to (want to to so bad) go read a few minutes before work. Other nice things later. Please return! ♥emma

Garden Love

I stumbled upon this fantastically lush blog by the name of Garden Rooms. She is a garden designer and has some wonderful posts about beautiful outdoor spaces that she finds from various sources. There is everything from rain barrels to kid friendly gardens to lovely sitting areas surrounded by flowers or vegetables. I am not very skilled in the garden but I do so love the scents that come from blooming flowers, fresh peppers, or young, dew socked leaves. This is lovely! ♥em
