Cottage Collection – EBOOK

When I was little my mom and grandma used to drag us kids around to all the greenhouses in the spring and summer. They loved looking at the beautiful colors, taking in the humid, floral aromas, and dreaming of what they would plant in their gardens that year. I hated it. It was hot. It was wet. It was exhausting tromping around all those long greenhouse isles on my little legs, and to top it off there was never anywhere to sit down. I look back on it and laugh now that I’m older and longing to be among the growing things in protest of those last cold days of winter. I hated it then, but somehow, the love of gardening took root and although the weeds often get away from me, I look forward to a fresh new spring and all the colorful little faces that show up in greeting each year – even the dandelions. 

This collection explores those special little things that remind me of slower days, rambling gardens, bees laden with pollen, slate roofs, ivy covered walls, waddle fences, roses climbing a trellis, freshly baked scones, a fragrant cup of tea, and quiet, hazy mornings.
