Tanja put her many handcrafting talents to great use in the refurbishment. Her grandfather’s gift of a sewing machine when she was a child inspired a lifelong love of stitchery, and curtains, cushions, and bedspreads throughout the home are evidence of her skill. She employs a practical-yet-beautiful philosophy in decorating and couldn’t be more pleased with the results.

What an amazing special issue !! I thoroughly enjoyed the French Cottage from page one to the back cover !
The above photo of the cottage entry which is encapsulated in blooming Wisteria is by far my favourite and inspires me to consider something similar !
Great job, Victoria !
God bless !
