This is a wonderful celebration of art, good food, lovely wines and live entertainment.

We haven't missed a year in the 7 years we have lived in Carlton!  Hope to see you there!!

Goodytwos

Have you tried Goodytwos delectable sweet treats?

Seriously......they are so good!

We just had the two masterminds behind Goodytwos stay at the Cottage.  They were kind enough to bring us a bag of goodies.  

Hubby and I fought over them.

You should check out their website.

Then order some goods.

You won't be disappointed!

The 'busy' season...

Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of our 'busy' season in Carlton!

Fresh cookies in each bedroom.....

and fresh flowers through out the house......we look forward to the 'busy' season!!

Soft, neutral colors....

Linen storage.....

Beautiful marble floors.....

Classic pedestal sink.....

When I am able to get a better photo of the beautiful claw foot tub, I will be sure to post that!

Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

planning the garden....

Every Spring I enjoy planting a garden at the cottage.  Now that the sun is finally shining, I can work the soil and get the plants/seeds in the ground.

Cherry tomatoes are a favorite!

A new player at the cottage garden this year......butternut squash.......

Swiss chard is a cool season favorite!

Dwarf sunflowers.......

and plenty of zinnias for fresh cut flowers!

I love growing fresh fruit, herbs, and veggies for guests.  Actually, the truth is that I love gardening.  This is a great excuse for me to get to squeeze in a few extra plants!
