Ivy Cottage (Update)


Ivy Cottage is located in the Village of Nuttingham. It has a lovely view  from the top of a 300 year old walnut tree. This is the reason all these cottages hang from 'cables'. 
The house has Belgian spider silk lace curtains in all the windows. It is the first house in the village to have a fireplace. There is a large stack of 'rainbow makers' in one of the bay windows. I suppose you thought there was a scientific explanation for rainbows.. In the other bay window there is a basket of fairy dust. There is a nest in a tiny acorn cap just over the front door. It has three blue eggs in it. Who's I wonder? 

The tiny terracotta flower pots were kiln fired and made by Braxton Payne. http://www.braxtonpayne.com/

    Un rêve éveillé ....j'adore la lumière sur les deux premières photos . Elle est splendide . On s'imagine la fin de l'après midi . Les petits habitants sont près du feu et ils admirent par la fenêtre un magnifique coucher de soleil

    Ohh how I would love to find that in my walnut tree! Unfortunately my tree is only 14 years old, which I know is not old enough for these type of residences ;-) It is gorgeous though. I can imagine it at night when the lights are on...so lovely!
