The ever enchanted cottage gardens

I adore cottage gardens, the abundance of multi coloured flowers, stone pathways, topiarys. The aroma of turkish delight roses, lavender, jasmine stirs the inner gardener inside me. Rising early in the morning and sprinkling water over the waking foliage with the first glimps of sunlight captured in tiny water droplet rolling slowly of the petals. I found these amazing gardens via flicka just had to share them with you.

A romantic shack..

We spent aday out today trying to escape some of this humidity, so we headed towards the coast alittle to The Macadamia Castle. On our journey back home, i called into a gorgeous cottage shop that i discovered a short time back at Clunes near bangalow on the nsw northern coast. So many pretty treasures to be found. The lady at the counter is the owner of the old romantic shack, her names leonie.
