Do you have a dream home? My dream home looks very much like the one in the photo above. A thatched roof cottage with climbing roses framing the front door. Very romantic. This cottage is a vacation rental, located in Potterne Wiltshire, United Kingdom. 


My own cottage looks quite different.


Our Cottage (A Remodeled 1926 Cabin)


Over the years I've come to appreciate simplicity. British craftsman William Morris said, “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”


I've had my beloved vintage pinch bottle for 42 years. Found in a dusty antique shop in Taft, California.


My husband Dennis Reinke is a visual artist. One of his early watercolors graces a wall in our lingering room.


We're in the process of setting up our Joyful Cottage Etsy shop where we'll make 5x7 prints of Dennis' original watercolors and oils available for sale. And this leads me to my Joyful Cottage Giveaway. This is your chance to win an unframed 5x7 Reinke print of your very own. The giveaway is open to everyone, no matter where you live. All that's needed is a valid email address so we can contact you for your mailing address.
