Thanks! I can’t wait to Party Hop from blog to blog and see your homes!! And don’t forget, that every comment you leave throughout the month, enters you in my Sept. giveaway drawing, for either a Cottage Collage Kit with old wallpapers, or something made by myself from one of the kits.
What do I love about my home?? Well, love and care goes into every inch here at the cottage and I love it all. That is, until I get tired of it and have to make a change!
Right now, I am prepping for a photo shoot.
I am decorating the guest room for Christmas, and will just leave it up for the Holiday Homes Tour first weekend of Dec.
Its not done yet, these are the in progess pictures.
I’m trying to keep this room Romantic and lush, with gold, silver and roses.
I’m adding some angels, and vintage postcards of lovely ladies.
I found this tiny tree at a garage sale this summer for a nickel. I added vintage Wilton cake decorating plastic crowns that I sparkled up, and some old jewelry.
I’m also decorating Sugarwing’s room.
I spent part of today making tags and paper doll dresses to hang on her little pink tree.
They were fun to make, since I had rolls and rolls and rolls of new -old- wallpaper to play with!
I also am hanging vintage ornaments in pink, aqua, and soft green.
And of course, I hung all of the sugar coated fairies I made (from inspiration by Holly.)
They are so dainty and sweet. 
Here are some of my great new wallpapers! I spent a huge chunk of my day yesterday ironing and cutting and packing the papers up for Etsy.
As much as I love it all, no one could use that much, even me!! So I am making up packs of it, since I also spent a huge chunk of money for it all.
I also made up specialty packs, like this chocolate and roses pack. I only had enough of the right colors to make two of these.
And since I am in the throes of Christmas, while every one else is enjoying fall, I made up some vintage Holiday packs.
My friend Becca bought one of these Cottage Collage Kits of my pretty wallpapers, and I made a blue bird tag for her in honor of her blog name "Bluebirds and Roses". 
And speaking of friends,look who came to see me, Dusty. His mother, Lady, used to be one of the horses we boarded for a few years. She lived with us while pregnant, but her family built a barn for her right before Dusty was born. I almost felt like I was his grandma, or at least his great aunt. It was so nice to see him.
Maybe I have run on long enough now??
I love the white linen cloth under the crown tree… I would have never thought of that! Most of all I love Sugarwing’s tree! Your dresses are so pretty!! My daughter would like the picture of the horse, as she is horse-crazy!
To make dresses for to decor the christmas tree. That good idea!
I have thoroughly enjoyed my visit here at your blog! What eye candy! All of your hand made things are just so sweet & cute!

Great little 5cent tree, Karla ~ love those sparkly crowns on it, too! Your guest room looks very pretty, but I just can’t wait to see your master bedroom & Sugarwing’s roo! Her tree will be beautiful, I’m sure.

Oh, I just love seeing all the sweet little corners of your house! And just for the record there would be no contest if I were ever so lucky to win one of your drawings–I would definitely want you to make me a treasure!
I really like the idea of the paper doll dresses hanging on the Christmas tree. So cute!
Jody
Gosh, I would fit in so well in that guest room! 🙂 The roses and Victorian touches are so “me.” I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos of your Christmas rooms.
Have whipped the button and its on my blog, looking forward to the 25th! Will have to do some cleaning and tidying! Those wallpapers are to die for! And love your paper dresses, Mum and I are still doing them like crazy! Oh and can I come be a ‘guesta’, as my Princess would say, and stay in that delicous ‘guesta’ room . . . maybe when I fly over for the Sparks flea!!!! Hee hee

I’m charmed by your website. Your painting and decor are so lovely and welcoming.
I love all your “foofing” and the Say Thank You sign is wonderful. How great for visiting grandchildren to see and hopefully, remember.
I’ve enjoyed the tour. Thank you!
