I Love Getting Mail

I got such a wonderful surprise in the mail the other day. This beautiful picture from Alison DuBois!! All because I was the first person to follow her blog. http://alisondubois.blogspot.com/. How sweet is that. This picture reminds me of when I grew up in the country of Foster R.I. and we had a small log cabin on our property that the original owner of the property was born in.

I have to say her Etsy shop is beautiful and I ended up(hearting) three of her items so that they would all show up on my blog as favorites!

Aside from Alisons, Original Artwork http://alisondubois.etsy.com/ also carries beautiful Note Cards, Gift Tags, Calendars and Books!

I can't wait to show my family this picture!!

Thank you so much Alison and I wish you much success!!

Come on knock on my door!

I love doorways, pictures, prints or drawings of them and even the real ones. I especially love the ones with rounded doors. I always envision eclectic or vintage, terracotta pots all around filled with a different flower or plant in each.

Some are just so inviting that is just makes me wonder what it looks like inside. Is it as warm and inviting as the potted flowers that sit on the doorstep? Does it have overstuffed chairs and a couch that you just want to curl up and read a good book?

These are a few that have peeked my curiosity when looking through Etsy. Click the link under each picture to see more from their stores.

This is my favorite. It's a beach hut. Don't you just wonder if it has steps out the back leading to the water? You can see this and more at Unravelling



This looks like it would be so elegant. A big foyer when you enter, it's very own greenhouse. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5517485



Ok my second favorite. A little pink beach house. Something you would maybe find in a small New England town, a short walk to the beach. You can see this and more at Italian Girl in Georgia



For the single person that is doing very well for themself. Come's home from work pours a glass of wine and sits down and relaxes. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5060930



This reminds me of the home my daughter and I visited in Guatamala 2 years ago. Her friend made her Quinceanera and we made the trip there as my daughter was part of the party. The back yards are breathtaking. Exotic flowers everywhere (or to me they were exotic). It was one of the best trips I have ever taken. To be in a different country and see other customs and how they live is fasinating. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5917412

I hope you enjoy!
