Another Low Country Cottage

That's an awfully big house number for such a small cottage. I love the twin ceiling fans on the porch ceiling, It looks perfect in every way. via

Fabulous Ribbon Driveway

An old-fashioned design that harkens to the days when wagon ruts ran down the middle of a roadway, ribbon driveways typically put pavement beneath the wheels and grass in the middle. Back in fashion not just because they look great, they also create a permeable surface to reduce water runoff. Everything old is new again and I love this design. via

Prince George, Style Icon

Look out world, here I come!
His outfit by Rachel Riley sold out in sizes 12 and 18 months in fewer than 24 hours. Luckily the wearers will be too young to notice their peers wearing the same smocked outfit. I think Prince George looks adorable and I always love seeing him in action. His baby sister's christening was beautiful and it was so nice seeing the whole family together in their Sunday best. via

Charming White Farmhouse

I like the dark gray windows, stair treads and porch floor as well as the plantings. via

Pets and Fireworks

I've never had this problem with Webster and Tabitha but it's still a good idea, especially tonight. We have fireworks at a nearby park and we can see them from a distance over the treetops from the balcony of the cottage. Have a great long weekend everyone. xo
