I just get downright giddy whenever I think about one of my pillows propped on a chair in Europe. Tracey won my pillow giveaway a while back and sent pictures of their new-to-them cottage in Jersey. And no, it’s not that Jersey.
This Jersey is one of six small British islands off the coast of France. Tracey traveled to Jersey with her family when she was young and now is back to live for good.
Their sweet cottage is over 100 years old and according to Tracey, “very quirky”.
To me, it just looks absolutely adorable.
And extremely quaint.
With all the charm of Europe that Americans try so hard to replicate. (and rarely are able to pull off)
Thanks for the little house tour Tracey. May you have many happy years building wonderful memories here!
My family is headed to the mountains for a summer holiday, and so this little blog is taking a vacation too. We’ll both see you when we get back. :)
Cute lil cottage

My fantasy home...I am such an anglophile!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful cottage. Thanks for sharing the pics with us. Have a fun and safe vacation.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with Provence as a language student there in the mid 70's. Still sigh over tile roofs, poppies, lavender, etc. That is SO true about Americans t.r.y.i.n.g. to replicate European charm in their homes, but at least we have the blessings of resources and the freedom to do so!! I love and appreciate your talent, Rie! BTW, you pull off the quaintness!!!

What a cute little cottage...nice pillows. Have a relaxing trip.
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious cottage. I bet you are excited that your pillow graces this home. Have fun in the mountains.
ReplyDeleteI am green with envy. The cottage is adorable - yes, something we try to duplicate and can't.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
I am in love with that house! SO cute, I love the landing, the half door, the brick, and that kitchen looks so comfortable and cozy! I would love to have the quirks!
ReplyDeleteDarling!
ReplyDeleteHave a Great Time
A cottage with feelings and a story to tell..it seems;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pillows. Looks really good in that invironment.
Have yourself a nice summer holiday! :))
Here in Norway where I live, it´s pouring outside:( Not the best holiday-feeling, but still.
Looking forward to come visit you here again sometime:)

This is topical- I've just booked my trip to Jersey! My sister lives there in a similiar cottage. She calls it Toy Town because it is so small.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is a perfect fit in Tracey's charming home.:)
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed vacation!

I love how connected we all are across the world. Your pillow looks like the couch was just waiting there for it to come! Thanks for the house tour. It's an inspiration for our new project. I love the character and detail of old, quirky houses. I know it's next to impossible to replicate, but I think that may be the direction we're going. Wish us luck!
ReplyDeleteLovely cottage! Jersey Island is one of the most beautiful places I have been to in Europe! Would LOVE to live there one day too! Not to mention the absolute best dairy products on earth.
