Thomas surprised me with a brief visit to this idyllic little cottage surrounded by mountains. You basically couldn't have wiped the smile off my face the whole time we were there. It's a beautiful wee home with the bright green door and windows and white stone walls that almost make you feel as if you're in a cave once you're inside. It is the sort of house Thomas and I would like to live in one day, but for now we're just visiting. Let's just hope unlike the Brigadoon story we'll be allowed to see it again before it's been one hundred years...We felt at home as soon as we were in the front door carrying our chips & curry takeaway (it's my favorite) and enjoyed our refined meal in front of a roaring fire which was probably unnecessary given the season. It was the coziest space for a relaxing day and night complete with a friendly cat that greeted us nearly every time we stepped outdoors.<br /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: right;">Outfit details:</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.witandbloom.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Wit & Bloom flower crown</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://toujours-toi-family-affairs.com/index.php?id=425" target="_blank">Family Affairs legends dress</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/lovefromcyprus" target="_blank">Love from Cyprus sandals</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=761928&b=417942&m=43745&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Emodcloth%2Ecom%2Fshop%2Fhandbags%2Fshow%2Dem%2Dwhat%2Dyoure%2Dbraid%2Dof%2Dbag" target="_blank">bag c/o Modcloth</a></div><div style="text-align: right;">*most pictures by Thomas</div></div><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png;
