My Tiny Pink Christmas Cottage



I have been in my studio creating once again.  Here is my tiny pink Christmas
cottage.  It is nestled in snow in "my little world".




I made it from the cardboard of a Ritz Cracker box.  Not to worry though,
in my little world the building codes are quite flexible.



I may need to add more houses and tiny shops and a church to keep
this little cottage company.  What do you think?

Now that construction is complete ~ I am off to visit Beverly for


Bentley ~ we have to go over to your Grandma's house to help her
decorate her Christmas mantel.  I bet she has some treaties for you!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    Hi Susan,

    This is adorable! You are so creative; I love the little English-looking front door complete with hardware. The snow and glitter make it look like a fairy cottage. I hope you build some more buildings. :)

    I hope you and Bentley have fun at your Mom's.

    Susan, this is adorable and from a Ritz box! Oh my goodness how creative you are. I love the little cottage as is, but would also love to see a "village" you create from other boxes. This little cottage just tugs at my heart. Blessings. Do hope Bentley did get his treats.

    How adorable. We've made faux gingerbread houses out of foamies but never thought of transforming household boxes - I'll have to share this idea with my grandkids. Thanks for a lovely visit.

    Oh, how nice it was to drop by your cottage and find a tiny little pink cottage sitting a cloud of snow. Pink bliss! The background music made it so magical. Yes, please create more tiny little houses in this magical little village. You're very talented, thanks for sharing those talents with fellow bloggers.
    Til next time...God bless and Merry Christmas.

    That is the cutest little cottage I have seen in a long time and to think it started out life as a cracker box, wow! What a wonderful way to recycle something and make it into something so special! Really great creating Susan (and I am sure Bentley had a paw in it too)!
    Have a lovely Sunday!
