Cottage Dreaming

ByThe Reverend Katherine

Hello friends, I originally created this post as a page waaaay back in 2011 ( I was such a newbie then) to share my dream and LOA vision of living in a cottage by the water. I hope these cottages inspire you to find cottage dreaming a reality too. On my vision board I have always had images of a little house ( cottage) by a lake. For those of you who read my blog regularly you know that I do live in a lovely area where I have a mountain view in the backyard and a lake view in the front yard. But, they are from a distance and my vision is to live in a cottage by the water, just a stones throw away from a lake, river or body of water where I can sit and have tea watching my husband fish. I dream of this day, I believe it is meant to be. I will never stop manifesting and visualizing until it is a reality.

my vision board

I hope you enjoy this collection of lovely cottage blogs and décor as much as I do, they have the ability to transport you to the water’s edge, or the cozy chair of a cottage styled home. If you have a cottage by the water, or have a cottage style blog I hope you will share it at my weekly blog hop TFT ( Thursday Favorite Things).

*Back in 2011 I didn’t realize I needed to credit photo sources, newbie, right? So if you know the source of any of these beautiful cottage images kindly let me know so I can give credit to the original blogger, website, etc.

Several of these lovely images and their links can be found on my Cottage Pinterest Board HERE. All images belong to their respective blogs/sites and/or via Pinterest. ♥ Side note- since this was originally a page and not a post I saved all of the lovely comments ♥

  17. CHERYL ROTH saysNOVEMBER 29, 2011 AT 9:30 AM(EDIT)My family used to have a cottage on an island on a lake. We spent so many wonderful summers there as my kids were growing up, but my parents had to sell it because my father was ill. We miss it a lot. There are a couple photos here: createabeautifullife.wordpress.com but I’m planning to add more. Eventually I would love to have an ocean side cottage.
    A Beach Cottage is one of my favorite sites.
