Thank you once again for all the lovely comments on the shabby cottage downstairs, you really make my day! Here we have the outside of the house. Fabulous orange made by Susanna. Jug of tulips made by me. Weather vane made by me!! Tub of flowers made by Hanna. Orchid a gift from Kim. Topiary trees in pots which I 'shabbied' were a gift from Sophia. Shutter made by Sylvia. Flowers and rusty things made by me. Tin pitcher made by Sylvia. Perfectly shabby package made by Eva. I made the coal box on the side of the house to hide the plug where all the electrical wires meet. Through the kitchen window. Through the dining window. Thanks for taking the time to look around, I hope you've all enjoyed the tour! And once again a huge thank you to all the friends who have sent me so many wonderful things to make this little house a home. I'm sure we'll be back visiting the shabby cottage from time to time, no home (big or small!) is really ever finished! Mercedes
