Etsy Finds: Cozy Cottage

emilybidwell.jpg

Deliciously girlie, fresh and bright, cottage chic is a bona fide modern classic. I am ever-enchanted by the soft fabrics, crisp whites and rosy romance that are signatures of this cozy style. Since cottage chic is influenced by recycled fabric and furniture, nothing could say "Etsy" more than this aesthetic! Thanks to these affordable selections, you can live the dream and get started on giving your home a whimsical summer face-lift. Be sure to search Etsy for cottage chic and shabby chic for more great finds for your home, garden and wardrobe.

July 15, 2009 at 3:08 p.m. asundrynotion

Overall nice picks except for the non-handmade items featured that are not at all handmade but new or non-vintage factory made. Why does Etsy continue to feature items that absolutely are not Handmade or Vintage in this posts? Many Etsy members are most disappointed with this practice. It hurts legitimate sellers and sets a really bad precedent.

July 15, 2009 at 3:13 p.m. stuffbykate

that blue chandelier has been on my wish list for months! good stuff.

July 15, 2009 at 3:14 p.m. ParadiseBodyShop

So pretty! Years ago, I filled an old small birdcage with eggs that I had blown out so that they were empty. The print of the girl and the birdcage has got to be my favourite, and those chandeliers are gorgeous.

We have some lacey folding trays which would fit in perfectly.

Imagining myself surrounded by such cozy beauty just brings a little "ahhhhh." I envision myself in a quiet cottage, with zuppaartista's rose on the wall, drinking tea from studiotto's lovely cups, and reading a good book. Wonderful article, so many beautiful selections.
