Welcome to our little yellow cottage by the sea! This beautiful beach retreat is the perfect place to dream about. Surrounded by a bountiful garden full of flowers, grasses, roses and a white picket fence, this is truly your ideal beach getaway. You will stitch and imagine yourself tanning on a chaise lounge, or sitting under the shade of the beach umbrella sipping a tall cool glass of something delicious, while the resident cat purrs by the front door. The linen used was an overdyed aqua linen which is now discontinued. I recommend “Ice Blue” Cashel but you can use a light blue linen of your choice.. the blue preferably aqua toned. Your LNS will have several available, so enjoy choosing your own favorite linen to bring this project to life! This is a perfect design to hang in your home or cottage while you dream of sand and sunshine! - Thea
