Beach Cottage ♥ Saturdays Club
I ♥ Saturdays..
wanna join my club? haha
there’ll be…little things I ♥ from where I live
& stuff I find that I ♥ from around the web…
if you ♥ what I ♥
sit back with a drinkie
& let’s have some BC Fun
~~~~~
…there’ll be vintage things, pretty things, sweet things, white things…
oh & it’ll help if you love all of the following…
ruffles, Frenchy things & bathtub lounging
long socks & vintage china,
ballet flats, clay tags, and old bottles,
reading in old adirondacks
taking photos, fancy deli’s, & summer days
doing the school run in pj’s
Italian coffee, new friends & chandeliers,
treasure hunting & cosy winter things,
flower markets & tea dresses
home boutiques, reading on the beach, flea markets,
hammocks with quilts & making things,
vintage china & white paint
beach scenes, pots of tea, driftwood
embroidered linens
home-cooking & sofa sinking
wedges with ruffles
roses with nautical stripes,
wooden floors & old sash windows…
to join this club you must obsess over all of the above
membership is free
you must be willing to call yourself a BC’er
& you must love white paint
and wellie boots
you must also be willing when required to beachcomb
& if you find a message in a bottle
washed up on the beach
you must read the message
and then to
embarrass your husband
you must follow the instructions inside
which are to sample it
like an old tramp
as mummies from the school walk past
you must always always be prepared for
beer o’ clock
& it is an essential requirement that you love Gelato
you will be required to have a mode of transport
it must be a rusty old bike
you must lean it by the sea
you will certainly be required to eat chocolate cake
you must pledge to consume copious amounts of crusty topped tarts
you must not look like one
you must love getting your husband to take photos of your shoes
you must be able to rise to the challenge of High Time
you will appreciate the might of the ruffled red t-bar
it is a requirement that you dine on macarons
you may not call them macaroons
you must love Australia with all your heart
even when she’s feeling old and grey
and you must love singing in the rain
ok?
you in?
Good.
I’ll see you soon then with pretty ruffly vintage things.

May I join please….maybe just to enjoy you all enjoying .!
Love your blog, love your beautiful home! I am also in Sydney, starting to fix up our newly acquired C1910 cottage. Would love to join in on Beach Cottage Saturdays.
I’d love to become a BCer. Searching for the perfect shade of white paint for all of my cottage’s brown walls!
I’m so delighted to have found you…I think i’ve been searching for you for oh so long. About to start renovations on a little fixer upper near the coast in the Byron Bay Hinterland. I lie in bed at night obsessing about what shade of white to choose… I too am from a foreign land, and am transitioning into the Aussie way. Can’t wait for more BC inspiration. L x
