Rabbit Run Cottage–the story

5 years ago we “dropped” our little garden shed

into a weed patch of our new property.

I had little time to ponder the placement of the beloved shed–I was just grateful it had made the journey.

I knew it was the beginning of my garden.

A garden I had dreamed of nearly my entire adult life.

So let’s take a little peak back in time–and see how Rabbit Run Cottage was created.

Rabbit Run Cottage has grown up along with Lucy.Her colors are more muted for the garden, and the play kitchen was retired.  A pile of pillows, quilts and books are in the loft.  She is very gracious in sharing her little house with me.

Thought I’d repost this from last year….

It’s a good time to start planning those Spring projects!

Hope this gives you a little inspiration.

Orange is my favorite color

The orange Butterfly Bush is just starting to bloom,

it’s such a great pop of color in the garden.
