I wanted to post some of my favorite things today.  I love an eclectic style, mixing old and new, and different metals, woods, rope, cloth, glass.  I love Interior Decorating and I love taking tours of peoples homes.

So my BIG Announcement is this:

I want to start featuring a home per month.  I’m thinking I will create a button at the top or side of my blog for each monthly feature (but it will also be a post that I do), so people can click and see it all month long or maybe it would be better to have a  video clip-I’m still processing the best way to do it.  I will do a post of your home on a Friday, (since I have my party and favorites Mon-Thurs).  For now, it will be the featured cottage for the month.  If you guys love this idea of having your home featured and we have so many, I may have to change it to a weekly feature but for now we will start with a monthly feature.  HINT HINT:  The quicker you get your home on the list, the longer it will be featured.  What do I need from you?  Pictures of your cottage.  You may want to do a room or you may want to do your entire home.  It can be inside or outside your cottage.  If you have any tutorials that you can show of something that you did as a DIY project then that would be GREAT.  Get the word out.

NOW what should we call the button for the Monthly Cottage that will be featured?   Help me come up with a great Cottage name.  Post your name suggestions in the comments.

So now for some of my favorites:

These items are from Pottery Barn:

Restoration Hardware

Mothology:

Crate and Barrel

Ballard:

I love old luggage and silverware caddies, old canisters and wood crates, silver and glass, old and new, ladders, jar, mixed dishes. I so want to find mix and match vintage soda fountain glasses for our every day drinking glasses.

These are a few of my favorite things…. Are any of these your favorites?  Remember to help come up with a name for the Cottage Home Tour.
Remember to sign up as a follower and I will come do the same.  I do read every comment and love to come for visits and get to know you better.

I have been asked quite a bit lately, how I have grown so quickly and for some information.  My next post goes over some tips.

I have a Give-a-way to learn more about how to enter–it’s super easy.

I love this quote and think it fits perfectly with the book give-a-way:

Healing walks quietly and softly. It doesn’t cry out like pain nor does it bellow out like laughter. It holds us so tenderly that we don’t even feel its arms. And when its job is done-it doesn’t clap or shout-it just allows us to find our way.  Author Unknown
