Happy Friday, everyone. You know I love peonies – and yes, I’m posting more photos. I cannot help myself. They are so gorgeous, so short-lived, so luscious! It also provides an opportunity to practice with my camera and the macro setting.


Beautiful. My husband sent the next photos – just to prove that I indeed have peonies on my property. Note to husband: please send photos of the garden and the now, I’m sure, fully open peonies.


I promised Donna that I would post a photo of my little vintage birdcage. I found this at Vignettes – my cottage is small and I need a petite birdcage. This is a vintage Hendryx cage that I fell in love with. Think of all the things I can do with it back at Mockingbird Hill Cottage! Right now, one of Joy’s birds is happily chirping away.

Giveaway Time!

Yes, yesterday’s post was my 225th and in honor of that milestone, I am having a giveaway. When I was at the Barn Sale at La Maison Rustique, I fell in love with these signs made by Rita. I bought two different signs. One of them said “Cottage Home.” The other said “Roses.” As I was staring at one of them the other day, I thought “You should have this be your giveaway!”


If you would like to be eligible for this giveaway, dear blogging friends, please leave a comment on this post. I love comments on all my posts, but for the giveaway, the comment must be on this post. I will then put all the names in a hat, or a bowl, or something, and pick the winner. The deadline is Monday, June 8th at Midnight EST.


Thank you, friends!

La Maison Rustique, Part Two

More photos from the Barn Sale ~ if you missed the first batch, just scroll down a few posts.

Don’t you just love this pink phone? And the chair with chalkboard paint?

I have a sideboard much like this that I made into our kitchen island – isn’t this one lovely?

What a birdcage – Donna, I hear it calling your name!

I think these are Joy’s birds on the top of the cage.

Such a pretty vignette.

Isn’t this the most incredible birdbath? I just love it.

This tall cabinet was already marked “Sold” when I saw it. I can see why.

This old screen door is so charming ~ I can see it in a storybook cottage.

I hope you’ve enjoyed all this eye candy. I only have one more barn sale before I leave to journey back East…I’ll really miss it.

This is post 225 – tomorrow I’ll post about the giveaway.
