A PERFECT COUNTRY WEEK-END

 

This cottage on a lake bank does somewhat sound like  the perfect  haven for a delightful week-end.

Send an invitation to a single couple, 6 people would turn too much for such a poetic setting. I’m sure they’ll come over as quickly as a fox on a hunt.

 

A good book and you’re all set.

 

 

An opened door is always inviting and even more so with the old wooden tray set for  just  a few glasses, ready to be the recipient of an amber coloured vintage old Port.

I wish I had an invitation !

 

Prehistorical cook books by the window, held centuries ago by the hands of real cooking goddesses, the ones who wore a large linen apron and a wooden spoon in hand.

 

 

That’s a farm table. I would have opted for large and simple white candles set right on the table for a more rustic effect.

 

Time seems to have settled down on this lovely farm house, seen through the wonderful and charming blog

A SPOONFUL OF COUNTRY CHARM

Week end off in the Dordogne countryside and just sharing a few pictures :


Yes, WE DRANK IT. It's so big it doesn't even carry a name !






Did I mention that the house dates from the 16th century ?




This picture comes from a Elle Déco and could have been taken from the house I was in this week-end.
Stone walls, large fireplace, low furniture against the wall, over dimensionned lamps.
Simple and natural.
