Cottage dreams

I awoke this morning from a dream I’ve had many times before. It involved a quaint garden, crumbling stone walls and a kitschy interior.

This cutie is close to the one in my dream. I wonder what lies beyond that adorable cottage door.

This charming look would do until I saw this beauty below, for sale and in my neck of the woods.

801 North Dumas Road, Suttons Bay MI

I came across this little gem, for sale just three hours north of my house, on 2 acres and within walking distance to the beach. It was listed for under $80,000. The perfect little project which could become the ultimate summer house. It looked like my dream may come true. I couldn’t dial the phone fast enough but unfortunately it had been sold. My dream will have to stay a dream for now.

I am crazy about stone houses. They have such marvelous nooks and crannies where you can hind nifty little things. YOur dream home is waiting for you. It will call you when it is ready for you. Sea Witch

I would love to stroll around that area. Sorry the house was gone so quickly, but I can understand why.

Oh it would have been such a beautiful place to live in. But in time, I am sure you will come across another home that will be meant for you and your dream will be realized.

I like the inspirations room. The white backdrop and all the happy colors

Mizpah,

My Diary

I’m Java June or Junie as my friends call me. I’m just a hopeless romantic with a master’s degree in all things dreamy. I could be described as a mid-western girl-next-door with a case of wander lust. My curiosity for all things that cannot be explained sometimes gets me in some unusual predicaments. Come dream with me between the pages of my diary.

This diary reveals a curious soul who can’t stop looking for little sprinkles of magic through the lens of her camera.
