City.Cottage Giveaway

I'd like to welcome a new sponsor to our circle of friends here in the Fun Lane: City.Cottage. It was very exciting to meet and learn about Jenny and her City.Cottage because like me she is Canadian. And as all you fellow Canadian's know finding unique, cottage style furniture and decor can be a challenge.

City.Cottage is located just outside of Toronto, and on the web at both their website and blog.

Even if you can't stop by to spend an hour taking in all their treasures you can enjoy plenty of eye candy online. Each image has me checking the cost of flights to Toronto!

Looks like the perfect tea party to me.


Don't these tutus look magical?

There is no shortage of my favorite non-color: white!


If those images don't have you drooling, then this one will.

Couldn't you just imaging curling up in that fluffy bed on a warm Sunday afternoon with a good book? Jenny wants to make that day dream come true for one lucky person! One such reader will win a handmade City.Cottage pillow that features a floral front and soft chenile back a well as the lovely white button pillow in front.
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling us what you will be reading in that comfy bed before 8pm mountain time on Friday, March 5. The winner will be announced the following day.
