  • Melissa Childress

    BEAUTIFUL, beautiful book!
    It is a massive, hard cover book full of breathtaking images. I haven't had a lot of time to read/view
    The Collected Cottage: Gardening, Gatherings, and Collecting at Chestnut Cottage, but I've looked through the pages and I am very excited to take a more in depth look!

  • Gloria Patterson

    The collected Cottage book is so full of so many beautiful elegant things. All the different flowers, the photos are so clear and detailed. When you first flip through you thing this is all rich stuff but its not. There is a recipe that used potato chips as a topping. There is a tomato basil tart that looks so mouth watering. There's elegant and just down to earth food in beautiful setting.

    I have gone through this book a lot and ever time I see something new that I missed before.

    This book is a keeper!
