English Style Cottage Garden at My Fingertips






Pop up gardening book!



I feel like Cinderella when I open it.










From above they are just as pretty!



When you open the pages they spring to life



which is what we are waiting for outside.






Books like this were first made in the 1800's



but this one is fairly recent



I picked it up at Goodwill








It has provided lots of inspiration and dreaming



The soft colors of roses, delphiniums and other



cottage flowers make my heart pitter patter faster












Isn't this just dreamy?



Someone has already cut flowers for me!










No deer or groundhogs in this garden



Just flowers and sunshine.



I've collected a few of these books



from the outside you can't tell



what suprises will justle about when



you open the book.



I am still a kid at heart



With a drawer full of seeds to plant



and some in the refrigerator too!
