Beach Cottage Dreams


Just last Sunday David and I (and Bentley too) drove down to Rockport, TX
to look around.  We had been there just once before and were enchanted by
it's charm once again.  I have been dreaming of a beach cottage for the
last three days.

Nothing big and grand (not that we could afford it) but just something sweet and dear.
A place where you keep your flip flops and maybe a sundress for dinner out.
Some brightly colored beach chairs and flowers.  A spot for a fishing pole or two.
Sweet tea on the porch and starlit night walks along the beach.

A tiny garden where the sea gulls will stop by and maybe perch on
the roof top too.

A sweet place filled with flowers by the sea like this one painted by
my friend Erin.  She has a Bentley too and here he is in the picture.
If you have never visited Erin then make your way over to her cottage
right now!  Her paintings and her cottage and garden will enchant you.

I believe in big dreams.  You never know ~ they could very well come true!


Big Texas Gulf Coast Hugs,

  1. You and me both! I featured Erin's talent on my Color My Decor blog last week. But I didn't tell her. I don't really know her.

    1. She needs one, but I think you should pose for it too!

  9. I've always wanted a cottage on a lake. Or by the sea. I'll take either!
