1st Time Give away
Oh My Goodness
108 degrees just 1/2 a mile inland from my cottage.
So thankful to be home and in the shaded court yard.

I am so grateful !

Description below and stories of Summerland Cottage by Julie Nutting can be viewed at
One day last week I went to Laguna Beach to spend the day playing with my friend Paulette.
I can't even begin to describe her home. This historical seaside cottage is just a few blocks from the charming village of Laguna. Paulette's talents as an interior designer are very apparent as you walk through this delightful home but it's her gift as an artist that just makes my jaw drop. Her cottage is like a candy shop. You don't know if you want to look at the pink candy or the green candy. You don't know if you want to taste cherry, lemon or lime. There are so many flavors you just simply don't know which way to turn. One thing is for certain, you are filled with inspiration and you want to go back for seconds and thirds.

A quiet Sunday
the weather overcast and cool
makes you want to curl up and contemplate
the mysteries of life
tucked under the eaves
the loft seat becomes the perfect perch above
the sparkling Pacific Ocean
to stay warm and cozy with a good read.

Creative Organization

becomes the perfect home for a collection of vintage laces and trims

Cozy factor...
a comfy old chair
a collection of design books
tucked in an intimate lamp lit corner
invites one to cozy in and stay a while,
maybe pore over a few books,
and listen to the rain on the roof.
A little library with inspiration galore !

Fall nesting...
comes with the turn in the weather...
an assortment of favorite teas
and french cacao en poudre,
( a favorite treat in my coffee )
grouped in front of a vintage serving tray,
displayed in easy reach
on top of the antique Hoosier cabinet

It's beginning to feel like fall
.
Happy nesting...
Visual snippets of artful curiosities
and sweet mementos
that create ambiance in the sitting room
