Saturday morning I dropped my camera into my purse...with intentions of following though this time. I love it when a home catches and holds my attention..like a good book.
The home belongs to friends of my son and is two door down from a home he used to own. I think I will post one of these interesting little cottages from my town from time to time. If I love them just maybe a few of my friends will too. :)I hope they have a garage sale some day...but...I honestly doubt it! But hey, you never know...
Love and hugs,
Mona
p.s. Maybe I should cook something too...??? :)
Absolutely charming! I love cottages, as you know :) This one is great! Thanks for sharing and look forward to seeing more of them in your area.

Oh how pretty! We should have a "Hometown homes" post sometime -- that would be fun! I love this cottage -- sort of reminds me of one I loved in my parents old neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dream home! I love the colors they chose and all of the beautiful plants. Wouldn't you just love to have your morning coffee or evening drink on that patio?! Beautiful, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt is just perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to live in a sweet house like that. Look how lovely the garden-like yard is too! Someone loves that house very much and will probably never, ever sell it. Neither would I.

I always think that whoever lives in such a neat, beautifully-kept little house with such attention to all the color and detail---they must be happy every minute of their lives.
ReplyDeleteThat is a loved house, and you can just imagine how much love there is inside it. It's like a beautifully carved and polished jewel-box, and therefore it must spill out only beautiful things.
At least, I love to think that.
That unique little cottage looks so loved. Glad you remembered your camera!
ReplyDeletethe cottage is soooo charming loved the colors they used and dont you just love the awning.They have a lovely land scape .It just says welcome all over Mona keep that camera with you you never know what you might see thank you for shareing:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming home! You are a girl after my own heart, sometimes when I pass a particularly lovely place I find myself wondering what would happen if I knocked on the door and asked to be shown around :) I just may do that someday, I'll let you know if I get arrested!
ReplyDeleteNow that little cottage has some curb appeal goin' on! I just love how very neat, tidy and just plumb charmin' the little home is. Just makes ya want to walk upon the porch to pour a long tall glass of tea and sit a spell. Thanks for remembering your camera!
ReplyDeleteYa have yourself a wonderful Wednesday sweet Mona!!!
Hi Mona! Oh, what a lovely house and all the plantings are so pretty! Don't you wish you could just pop up to the front door and ask for a tour? I guess you could do that! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie and I love your new photo of you on your side bar.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
You're right it's a very pretty house! Thanks for posting these photos! Yes blogging is visiting the world in a very short time whenever you want.

ReplyDeleteMonaGirl...you always make me smile! xoRebecca
such a pretty little cottage, I can see why you like it. I have been posting pictures of my small pretty little town, lately.
ReplyDeleteMolly
We all know that a house that looks like that is loved and cared for and it isn't easy to keep it like that. I love it and I appreciate the work that goes into keeping it like that. The flowers in the front just set it off perfectly, don't they.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Star
Hi Mona. What a charming place. Lovely gardens and house.

Hi Mona,

hugs
Sissie
What a beautiful house, love the garden too, Mona! Thanks for sharing...Christine
ReplyDeleteOh look at those flowers.. Sweet cottage, kept so nicely! I like that!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a charming home. Are there more in your neighborhood? Happy sharing...
ReplyDeleteI've planned on doing what you did but I always chicken out. I need a getaway driver like Howard.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely home. What character! I love the dark green with the yellow and the awnings.
Hugs,
Dawn
Mona love that cottage. Beautiful details and gorgeous garden. Lucky folks who live there are taking very good care of it. Your new picture...you are a gorgeous lady silver hair and all!
ReplyDeleteJean...I hope you come back as you have no blog on which to thank you. I'm glad you like the cottage..it really does have details, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe "thank you!" is for the sweet compliment on the WHITE hair. No matter what they say, it does age you but who cares. At least not any more. :) Actually, it is sort of a relief.
Oh my....that made my Cottage Girlie heart go pitty pat...I LOVE that house. I could SO live there. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHuggies,

Hello Mona,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice note!
I so agree, the days start with a bird singing outside the window.

Mona it is gorgeous! What an elegant and charming home. ~Lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great house!! I am so glad that you remembered your camera so that you could share the pics with us. Now go make a casserole and take it over there so you might get a peek inside!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
O, hey...here's a great idea. Why don't you host a "HOMETOWN COTTAGES" meme? That would be tons of fun! There's so many cute ones in my town and even if someone lived in a tiny town, many cute cottages on the net to use.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I agree with Susan and Bentley about a casserole....:)))
OH yes,
ReplyDeleteI love cottages Mona and this one is quite lovely! Fabulous, and thanks for sharing with us!
Hugs,
Cindy
