First home on this year's tour, Tanya Williams with Cottage Tour participants, in her 1800's farmhouse kitchen.
A place to hang your hat. 
bear rug...
beautiful brass bed in this 'Cowboy' themed guest room...
We then headed to the second farmhouse-style home near Shasta College...Ladies, this home is on the market and i SO want to move in!
loved the kitchen nook...looks out to the surrounding property just off the sun porch.
The third home was the 'doll house'...this is her 'Paris' themed bedroom...
everything is put together so sweetly...
a tribute to her parents...letters her father sent to her mother during WWII.
The garden was so enchanting... just wish i could take more photos! But, we had to move on...
to the fourth and final home on the tour...this 'Westside Story' home reminds me of a cross between Veranda magazine and Better Homes and Gardens...
divine kitchen...
terrific bedroom terranium next to a fainting couch...
so many lovely items throughout these homes that i could spend an entire day shooting images and it would never do them justice. These homes are simply beautiful. The owners are beautiful for sharing their inspiration for a great cause. Women helping other women is key. By purchasing a ticket for this year's Cottage Tour, you help women towards a better future. Proceeds benefit our local Women's Refuge and we will treat you to an Art Faire with various artists, musicians, and refreshments at the old Village Schoolhouse location in Market Square following the tour. So, grab a pal, go for a Sunday Drive, and prepare to be inspired!
