I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of my cottage stitchery collection...
...this adorable needlepoint house with dormer windows, a red roof and red shutters. I discovered it a few weeks ago at an antiques mall in New Bedford, MA. How appropriate that I found a Cape Cod-style cottage while on our way to Cape Cod!
My new acquisition reminded me of our very own Cape Cod-style cottage. Last week, we had our first snow of the season — just a dusting really, like someone sprinkled a fine coating of powdered sugar on everything.
Anyway — I hung the needlepoint on my studio wall among the other cottage pictures. It looks right at home there, don't you think?
Whoever made this little gem wrapped it around a piece of wood in the same shape which gives it a bit of dimension. Pretty clever.
Isn't it the cutest?
Susan
I love it! You are so lucky to find cute cottage things like that. And somehow it never looks cluttered when you add things to your collections! Great decorating, Susan.

Too cute Susan! It was meant to be, right there on your wall in that really awesome studio. There you go with that wonderful eye again. 👀

That is so darn cute! I love anything vintage house/cottage related, but so far I haven't had any luck finding stitchery. Which reminds me I have yet to start the cross stitch I bought from you a few years ago..that'll start my collection. :)
I love the photo of your house with the snow. Did I mention I'm obsessed with houses that come from an earlier era? Especially those that look like the models for 1940s/50s Christmas cards.
