I really have enjoyed this book for new and refreshing ideas to create a shabby chic cottage environment. I've always leaned toward Victorian and knew that that wasn't exactly what I wanted. This book has so many wonderful ideas. Anyone who loves vintage and repurposing will love this book.

I have to admit that I am one of the featured dealers in this book. I am a mosaic artist who uses vintage china to create functional art. Some of the cottage collectibles that I have featured are a mosaic teacart, mosaic vintage galvanized watering cans, mosaic lamps created from vintage silver teapots, etc. You can see more of my vintage mosaic pieces on my website at www.lavenderhillstudio.com .
This book is filled with wonderful vintage items. The best part is that there are links to all of the dealers and if something interests you, you can contact that person! The pictures are clear and crisp. It is just a wonderful book to get lost in....C Dianne Zweig did a wonderful job with this book.

This book is one of the most beautiful and informative books I have ever seen in all my 30 years in business. It not only shows you the item but it shows the customer how to decorate with the items in a real cottage environment. The book is not just for dealers of antiques and collectibles, but anyone who is interested in decorating there own home. The quality, of this book, shows how passionate the author was on creating Hot Cottage Collectibles.
