I WANNA live there Wednesday # 88

Good morning everyone !

I came across this via Adorable Home and just had to share !
It's a lakeside cottage in Harbor Springs, Michigan and was designed by Tom Stringer Design Partners and it's absolute sheer perfection.................

Mr. Tom Stringer - I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for ..♪♫♪

AND when my ship comes in I'm most definitely giving you a call..................

Okay everyone - jaws OFF the floor - drool OFF your lips - shape up here - it's time to get back to the reality of our lives lol

I have a strong desire to paint with blue and yellows today
Have a wonderful Wednesday

Small gardens...............

For the first time in a very long time I have a large garden - but I have a special place in my heart for small or tiny gardens too - there's something so magical about a cozy little outdoor space.
The prettiest garden I ever had ( before blogging - oh how I wish I had photos of it ) was a small city one - 
walls of climbing roses - fairy lights and water fountains in the evening - candles flickering everywhere - it broke my heart to leave that one more than any other.
And although I'm diligently working on the quite large space we have right now - and I DO love it -  my mind keeps going back to my little haven.

Here's some images I found with what others have done with a little outdoor space................
( take notes Gerry !!! )

I'm in love with all of them and actually going through all of these I think - at the end of the day - I prefer the small gardens !

Have a great one all
Much love,
