By the way in which, you’ll discover numerous the sources (and related items) from the Tiny Cottage all through, in addition to on the backside of this put up!

With a Tiny Cottage (400 sq. toes!) each inch counts, so it’s enjoyable to see how my mother makes it work for them and makes it so cute all on the similar time.

Needed to chortle about this…. simply seen there’s just a little caterpillar crawling outdoors the window. Ha!
