Ta-daaaaah! Drum roll please! I'm a very happy chookie today.

The village of Ferny Creek is very happy indeed.  The builders have moved out and the renovations on Toadstool Cottage are completed.  Everything is ready now for the next stage - the furniture van will be arriving very soon and stock will be pouring in any time after that.  The ladies are so delighted - a lot of work lies ahead but at last they can get going with the enjoyable part of setting up the shop.

And as for Washtub Cottage, new owners are about to move in there as well.  Necks are craning in the effort to see what is happening there - who are the new owners?  What will they be like?  Great excitement in the village that this lovely cottage will be functional once more.

You might have gathered from this that both Washtub Cottage and Toadstool Cottage are finished.  Which do I show you first?  Maybe both together - not a very good photo, they are a bit cramped on my little 'photo background' but here they are:

And now here is Toadstool Cottage:

And Washtub Cottage:

I have enjoyed doing these cottages so much, and I am so happy with the results.  And I know that I will really enjoy filling them too - so their story isn't finished yet.
