We've been told that 2 big yew trees used to line the entrance path to the cottage, and after our renovations, we put it back the way it was - with 2 x 8ft tall yew trees lining either side of the cottage. Funnily enough, Yew Tree Cottage seems to be quite a popular name for a cottage in the UK with this name hitting 19th out of the top 50 house names in England!

We've also named our house LongWillows after reading an Agatha Christie book... Catherine I hope you've found your sign!

I just love daisies and they remind me of childhood so I thought it would be a happy name for the house. And we do have lots of daisies growing in the orchard too! Unfortunately I have misplaced the pretty enamel sign I had specially made with daisies on it with the name. Bought it when the renovations were being done, put it away 'somewhere safe' to put up once house was ready. Still can't remember where 'somewhere safe' is. I called ours Daisy Cottage.

I remember the numerous "Dew-Drop-In" 's from my youth. Only after the cottage became known by everyone as Hummingbird Cottage did I discover that hummingbird feeders attracted bees. Because we rent the cottage when we are not using it, all of the feeders had to be removed for liability reasons. I will have to attempt to plant some no-care appropriate flowers. Naming a cottage lends it that extra bit of charm and approachability. Boat owners name their boats great names like "Money Pit" . A cottage name tells me about as much about the owner as the cottage. When we bought the cottage I knew I wanted to name it. I remember the numerous “Dew-Drop-In” ‘s from my youth.

Twilight's Edge is my number 1 and then Ceders Edge and then Cardinal Cove. I have been dabbling around with names and I came up with 3 good ones.

Our neighbors a few doors down actually had a wooden carving of a bear mounted onto a piece of wood for their sign. A few weeks ago, their cottage was broken into and the thieves actually stole their bear! We have been wanting to have a sign done for our cottage for a while now and are having difficulty agreeing on a name - my husband who's last name is Tam wants Tamelot - sigh. I think I'm going to have to give in on this one.
