Hello everyone, I am back again on this rather grey day to share a little photo shoot I did the other day when I had some free time to play with my camera. I love the turkish towels that they have at Homesence and this one fit right in with the color scheme here at Ocean Song Cottage. The baskets were a gift from a friend and are perfect for displaying more linens. A pretty stack of linens. This  towel was a thrift find that might one day make a couple of pretty pillows. The little fish add some coastal charm. Pretty napkins Tea time A pretty display sitting on the old drop leaf table that I painted white for the cottage. It is perfect for a small space. Oh, and one more thing I wanted to show you.......my latest dish find. I got these at the 70 mile coastal yard sale and although I told myself not to even look at dishes my heart did a little flutter when I spotted these lovely tranferware dishes in a box. so they were my             treat of the day a...

Hello everyone, Although summer has slipped into autumn we are still enjoying some time at our little cottage . Laundry day at .the cottage It's hammock time. I bought this hammock at the seventy mile yardsale last Saturday along with a few other treasures.....always a fun day for me! We are still picking away at making the cottage our own little escape. This is the bunkie that our grandchildren love and have claimed as their own. I painted the door and  new shutters Aspiring Blue by Behr paint. We have been shingling the bunkie and added the window on the back and changed the window on the side. The window on the back is an old french door  going sideways. I planted a couple of clematis and a climbing hydranges to grow up the trellis. We had a heavy frost last night so our cottage days will soon be coming to a close for this season. However, I do have friends coming for tea tomorrow and we still have  a few little projects to finish here and I still have a few more garde...

Hello everyone, We have had lots of beautiful sunny days albiet some pretty hot ones. I am thankful that we could relax  at our little Ocean Song Cottage where there is always a breeze off the water. I planted a fairy tale rose  by the cottage so I can enjoy pretty bouquets all summer with my tea. They are so pretty with a nice perfume as well. Enjoying iced tea by the roses. Of course, my Fairy Tale roses are not the only roses to enjoy at the cottage, these hardy  roses bloom in abundance in early summer and then again in September they put on a show again. I have planted some hardy roses at the front of the cottage that are just getting established. Some days it is nice to enjoy tea indoors by the window where we can still enjoy the view. The tides are always changeing. We enjoy relaxing at the waters edge, just admiring the beauty. Tea with our sweet granddaughter who turns thirteen today.....how the time flies!                 ...

Hello everyone, Once again it has been awhile since I posted here but  I am enjoying these   beautiful sunny summer days we  are having here.             What better way to enjoy a day at the cottage than to have a good friend for tea. We had tea on the deck where it  is  out of the summer sun but catches the sea breeze and you can hear the waves lapping on the shore. We had some delicious scones with homemade jam. Iced tea and lemon merinque pie was a refreshing treat. We whiled away most of the day chatting and relaxing with our    summer time tea and scones etc.                                           We are still working  on our Ocean Song Cottage~                                               ...
