This Cottage is made by a fellow member on the GreenLeaf Community Board Karin.
She is a very talented Artist and I could not resist featuring her work on my blog.
Her Brambly Cottage reminds me of my childhood love of children's books with real pictures of miniatures in them.
I think this is the Cutest Dollhouse I have ever seen.
I have listed a link at the bottom going to her Greenleaf Album so you can see more pictures.
I have asked Karin for permission to use her pictures, I have also included her comments that are beside the pictures as they give you information about the picture.
Here is her discription of her Cottage.
A Brambly Hedge inspired cottage. The Brambly Hedge is a series of books written~illustrated by Jill Barklem...I fell in love with the illustrations and had to build a cottage:) This cottage belongs to Mrs. Crustybread. Im not finished with the base and flowers,and I still want to make more food and dishes. So,this album shows ...so far...
Yesterday I did the key on the nail, and put the shelves up, painted the door knob.
I love these shelves, just got them stained and put in place. At first I thought they were too expensive for something I could really probably make myself, ($10 for three shelves), but I was really happy I did, they are nice and roomy and good quality. Cant wait to fill them with China plates and pink pitchers and tea cups!
This is one of the flour sacks I made yesterday,they are filled with cloves and pumpkin spice which makes the whole little house scented...love that! Buttercups doll furniture. I found this little 'rug' in my stash, my Grandma had made, it had a little cup on the top,which I carefully removed with a seam ripper and I'll use the cup part for a basket, I have about 7 of these little "rugs":) Thanks Grandma! Know she is smiling from Heaven:)

Please meet Buttercup, Buttercup is Mrs.
Crustybread's little daughter. Shes enjoying her afternoon cup of hot cocoa but cant seem to keep her whiskers out of the whipped cream!
I
haven't decided on front door hardware yet,
don't know if I want a Tudor look or just a simple door knob,so until we decide...we use a secret knock to gain entrance:)
Enjoy this very talented ladies work!!
As you can see in the photo I have done some of the envelopes with a scalped edge. I think it looks really pretty.
A collection of Vintage Victorian Envelopes.
Victorian Envelopes, I have only distressed a few in this collection and the others left the colour that they already are. Which looks distressed. Some of them are closed and some are new (Old) envelopes that were never used. Envelopes have different cuts on the back of them.
Victorian Letter, Love the blue!!
These Card were sweet to make, one is a valentine, one is a Christmas card and the other is a double sided tea cup card.
Not only is there letters in the collection but also very pretty cards that go in the envelopes as well.
