~I remember exactly when my Love for Cottages began! When I was 12 my mom showed me how to decoupage. After staining a board dark brown I chose a print of Anne Hathaway's Cottage & after burning the edges to make it look very old I pasted my picture to the board, decoupaged it, & nailed a string on the back for hanging it. Since then I have collected the oldest & coziest Cottage pictures I could find & they are among my very favorite "Cottage" treasures in my own cottage. The colors are those wonderful old hues that you don't find in anything new. Some are prints, some are sewn, one is even painted by my mom & one is a needlepoint by my grandmother ~ all of them are a Cottage I could live in! I will post more of them as I blog along!~

I really like your collection of cottages! I'm always drawn to paintings of homes and farms.

ooooooh, i love your cottage prints - i want to inside one of them and hang out for the day... i so know what you mean about the colors, they just don't do 'em like that anymore... =) debbie
I absolutely love your cottage collection. I have a small collection of little cottages on a shelf above my FR window but no 'cottage' pictures, which I wish I had. Yours are so wonderful.
I just found your blog and I had to comment on your cottages. I also love cottage pictures. I have a vintage cottage print that I love in my bathroom and a huge cottage framed art print over my bed. I also noticed that we have the same taste in fabric as I have some of the same pink/peach rose fabric pictured above in my stash.
