dolls...

Do you like dolls, or do the scare you? 

I was taking pictures of some vintage dolls I am putting in the shop...

and playing around in Photo shop...(which can really give you a headache!)

some are pretty...

and some are a little scary...I really don't like dolls but the one in my banner was just soooo sweet, she decided to live out in the cottage.

Tuesday's Treasures...

my cottage is on the side of the house in the back yard, I can't wait untill all the plants fill in, I love that overgrown look...

Where Bloggers Create and Pink Saturday...

I am joining Karen's fabulous "Where Bloggers Create" party, how exciting to see everyones creative spaces!!!

and I am joining Beverly's Pink Saturday.

So here we go..when I was a little girl my best friend had this little playhouse, we had the most fun ever!!!!  And I always dreamed of having a playhouse, well I finally got one and I love it!!! Its a place I can create and share with my children, so they can paint, draw and create anytime they want.  The cottage was built this January and I have been playing ever since...so on with the tour...WARNING...this is long, you may want to get a snack and drink...

the cottage is separated into two work spaces by a half wall...as you walk thru the door this is to your left, we will start there and go around...

this is the storage units I covered with pretty drapes, they store the items I have in my shop and treasures yet to be listed...

                

I love this table with all my favorite colors, I finally have room to sew, I just need to find some more time...

                 

bulletin board for inspiration...

                  

starting to put my fabrics in here...

I love vintage pink Christmas ornaments...

sweet vintage baby dresses...

               

a chalkboard, my daughter loves it...

I love my pink checkered floor, it took along time, but it was worth it...

                 

remember Louise...

                 

my pink dresser to hold all the vintage linens...

some pretties I like, now on the other side of this half wall is where I have some real fun...

a big wrap around counter, I put fabric all around to hide all my boxes and supplies and because its cute...

                 

and I had to make some of these...love them...

                 

this is where I solder...

                                                                            

pretty shells...

                     

more supplies...

vintage trinkets for embellishing...

love this old drawer...

ribbons and laces...

basket of roses...

where I make my faux treats...

where I paint and take pictures of the items for my shop...I used to have an inspiration book where I would cut out pictures and save them, now I just glue them on the wall so I can see them everyday...

a vintage shelf to store all my paints, sooooo much better than bags...

well thats the tour of the inside of my craft cottage, hope you liked it.  Next Saturday I will post the outside and all its pinkness.

here is a link to see the outside
