About Us

Come my love and live with me
In a sweet little cottage by the sea
Where roses grow around the door
And flowers bloom for evermore
Inside my cottage clean and neat
A big brick fireplace will give out heat
Outside the birds will sing all day
And on the beach the children play
So come my love to the cottage by the sea
And see how happy we will be.

Where the wind meets the willow tree, where we sit down to curl up, read, and have our afternoon tea. Where honey meets gingham. Our fashion, beauty and homelife blog is inspired by all things from the past. We relish the vintage, antique, and unique here. And we would love to explore aesthetics and styles that reflect our ancestors’ including cottagecore, fairycore, witchcore, romantic, and many others. 

My name is Kitty and I’ve been obsessed with eras long-gone since I was a little girl. My grandmother always said I was “born in the wrong century”. When I went to high school, I worked at a thrift store where my love for vintage clothing and antiques truly blossomed. Then after graduation, I went to fashion design school.

I hope this fashion and beauty blog becomes a great resource for you and your flower-filled path into the past. And helps you look forward to a comfy, peaceful future.

Our Values

I seek to provide authentic, geniune content on all of my blogs and in my books, this blog included. I don’t plagiarize other writers’ content, and if I use a resource I will post the source in the links or cite the source in each of my blog posts. I also seek to be as inclusive as I possibly can.
