Description
Down a lane lined with poplars, past the bakery and the stone fountain, stands a yellow cottage that everyone in the village knows. Roses climb the trellis beside the door. A white picket fence holds back a riot of greenery, and the shutters are always thrown open to the morning air. Inside, someone is making soup. A cat sleeps on the sill. It is the kind of house you see once on holiday and dream about for years afterward.
Celebrate a new home, a long-awaited move to the country or a retirement spent tending the garden. This cheerful cottage is a lovely housewarming present and a sentimental gift for someone who still dreams of Provence. It brightens a kitchen shelf, an entry table or a cozy reading corner, and pairs beautifully with other house and garden pieces.

Tuck a spare house key inside when you give it to new homeowners, and they will remember the day they first turned the lock. It is a small, sunlit welcome to every new beginning. Anyone who has ever sketched their dream house in the margin of a notebook will recognize it at once.
