The Eclectic Cottage

Summer at the Cottage 🇺🇸🌿

One of my favorite ways to decorate for a season is by layering color, texture, and collected pieces rather than filling a space with holiday décor.

A few touches of red, white, and blue. Vintage books. Blue pottery. Cozy textiles. Garden-inspired details.

It feels like summer without shouting it. ❤️🤍💙

This display came together one piece at a time today, and while I may still add a few patriotic touches along the way, I think it may be one of my favorits.

Which detail catches your eye first?

The nursery is feeling especially beautiful right now. 🌿

Peonies are blooming, new plants have been arriving constantly, and there are so many colors, textures, and little garden treasures tucked throughout the nursery at the moment.

This time of year always feels a little magical out here. 🤍

If you’ve been meaning to stop by and see what’s new, this is a wonderful week to wander awhile.

This time of year Mondays at The Cottage are rarely a "day off". 🌿

This morning was no exception, as it brought another beautiful delivery of gorgeous new perennials into the nursery — including several varieties I’ve never carried before.

The nursery is starting to feel wonderfully full again, and honestly . . . watching the bees immediately find the new blooms might be my favorite part. 🐝

I’ll be spending the next couple of days pricing, placing, and fluffing everything into the garden spaces, and I cannot wait for you all to see it.

Today’s plant delivery wasn’t the biggest… but it may have been one of the prettiest. 🌿

Fresh clematis vines, woodland textures, soft cottage colors, and the most beautiful speckled foliage just arrived at the Cottage today.

I always love the big overflowing plant deliveries… but there’s something special about the smaller shipments that feel a little more curated and full of little garden treasures. ✨

The nursery is feeling more magical by the day.

The nursery is slowly starting to feel lush and full again after Garden Expo weekend 🌿

Today’s delivery brought in some really beautiful things — giant gold and purple Cotinus, Hot Lips Salvia, Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangeas, Duchess of Edinburgh Clematis, a new variety of Sambucus, fresh Hostas, woodland textures, and so many gorgeous garden layers. ✨

Even with the chilly spring weather today, it felt good to spend the afternoon fluffing the nursery back up and tucking new treasures into the displays again.

And honestly? There’s even more coming. 🌿

Spent part of today refreshing our tea shelves — cleaning jars, switching out varieties, relabeling everything, and bringing in some beautiful new blends for spring. ☕🌿

There’s something so cozy about this little corner of the shop. Vintage teapots, floral teas, botanical cocktail books, and all the cottage vibes I love so much.

New favorites just arrived from here in Spokane, including:
• Sweet Reverie
• Ginger Jasmine Peach
• Almond Biscotti
• Long Island Strawberry

Iced tea season is coming, and these would make delicious cold beverages for the warmer days ahead!!

And as an added bonus, the shop smells absolutely amazing right now. 🤍

Yesterday was a beautiful day full of family, driving, and some exhaustion leftover from the week prior … and then there was this one happy little purchase for my own garden. 🌸

I have been wanting a dogwood tree for a while (I even knew exactly where it was going), so when I found this little Cherokee Brave on sale I absolutely could not leave it behind! And then, even though I was completely worn out by the end of the day, I came home and planted it anyway, haha.

There’s just something hopeful about planting trees and dreaming up gardens this time of year.
Slowly but surely this little corner is starting to become exactly what I pictured. 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms, grandmas, stepmoms, bonus moms, plant moms, and nurturing hearts out there today. 💐

After such a big Garden Expo weekend, my heart is feeling very full today.

I’m spending the day with family, soaking up a slower pace, and feeling incredibly grateful for this beautiful little community that continues to support The Cottage year after year. ❤️

Wishing you a lovely day filled with flowers, sunshine, and the people you love most.
