You know that burgled cottage I told you about, somewhere on the Beaches of Sydney? Well it still ain't been cleared up.
Instead I find myself festering in various places in the cottage that I shouldn't be.
Like in this hammock. With books with beautiful pictures but no instructions for how to get started on a cottage that looks like it's been ransacked.
Of course I've always been good at re-directing myself away from things I should be doing… you know that saying – are you doing The Right Thing Next or The Next Thing Right? I'll always wanna be doing the latter one…
So do ya like my hammock? I found this moons ago on a hunt but didn't really like the colour, I was more after a string one but I'd had hammock on the Beach Cottage Most Wanted List for a long time and so it came home with me, for a few dollars a no-brainer really.
It had been sitting in the laundry room for ages and last weekend we decided to put it up. And really we've been in it ever since. Have you ever wanted one? I have to say I have and if you feel the same, I'm telling you go out and find yourself one.
I'm drawn to it, under the huge old Moreton Bay Fig tree.
Boy I love that tree, coastal breezes, thrifted jugs of cottage flowers and hammocks…
BTW I'm having a giveaway on Friday, a Beach Cottage special – just because I'm celebrating some good news this week and thought it was about time for one, is it not?
oh and fancy a little holiday break in breathtaking Irish coastal style? go take a look at JanMary's and Susan has some wonderful Outdoor Posts at her blog today, go take a peek
See you soon…
Wishing I could just spend one day in that hammock all curled up! Lovely!
I haven’t had my hammock up yet this year either. It’s been SO rainy, and I got it in Mexico, it’s one that looks like lace, and I’m afraid rain might not be the best. Your’s looks inviting though! Have a blessed week!
You’re making me drool… have always wanted and will one day get myself a hammock! So relaxing and peaceful for reading or snoozing
xo
We have a hammock here in our back yard strung between 2 trees. There is nothing quite as relaxing as swinging in the shade of the tree, gazing up into the tree canopy.
I bet you will enjoy yours as the weather warms up.

Hello sweet Sarah – what a lovely hammock. I’ve never been on one or known anyone to own one. BUT, I’ve always thought it would be so cool to have one! Of course you have a way of setting up the most comfy little areas I’ve ever seen. Your spot there looks so amazingly restful. Love the table with the pretty flowers and books on top. And that blanket looks so soft and snuggly. Oh my, can I come over?
Blessings,
Marie
Oh YeS I have been wanting a hammock for a very long time…I’ve even planted palm trees for it to hang between, but have to wait till they grow a bit and are strong enough. I just told the Carpenter that we need to look for one on clearance when we return from our coastal holiday. He said, ‘okay, we will!’. I just LoVe yours!!! Those colors are perfect for Sea Cottage…I wish I could find one just like it. I’m so glad you hung it up and are enjoying it. I don’t think I will be able to keep my kids out of it, when we do get one.
I wish I could wrap myself in that chenille blanket and hop on the hammock right now! I just love it. I’ve always wanted a hammock but we’ve got no space for it. I’m thinking of suspending one from the joists in the attic when we redo, lol!
