A Beautiful Cottage

A couple of other bloggers have posted about Haskell Harris before however, I really do love her aesthetic and after looking over the pictures of her pretty cottage I have saved in my picture file I thought I could squeeze in a little post too.

Haskell is the Associate Editor of Garden & Gun and previously, she was Special Projects Editor and Assistant Homes Editor at Cottage Living magazine.

Southern Living magazine recently ran an article on Haskell's beautiful 1796 cottage located in Charleston, South Carolina. I very much adore her bedroom which is painted soft pink with white trim and grounded by beautiful Antique pieces and wood weave blinds. I covet her Hawaiian style black and white quilt and the mirror cluster wall above her dressing table is very beautiful.

Friday Flowers

It's been a quieter week for me this week which has been so lovely, I must say. A breather in amongst the craziness is sometimes all we need to give us a bit more energy to keep on going. I have had the chance to catch up on a few of my favourite blogs this week which has been so inspiring. One post I read by Vicki Archer on confidence really did it for me. If you haven't already read it I encourage you to do so. I have always struggled with self-confidence, like many women and it really is very inspiring what Vicki has to say on the matter.

I hope you enjoy your weekend.

Deborah's Vignette

I love receiving emails from readers. This photo which Deborah emailed me a while ago really grabbed me. I love the colours and the combination of her beautiful things...so pretty!
