Great list! Not many folks these days know of Fairport Conention.

Also, I'm not sure how many of them actually MAKE their own clothes. I recall his mom bought material for kitchen curtains for a small window one time and all that... story for another day perhaps. Not especially "cottagy" design, tho. Staying ON THEME is important.

You should MAKE room for the picnic basket, probably. I have one of those magazine racks here but I don't find it as useful as I'd like because it's kind of a clutter piece that doesn't hold anywhere near as many catalogues as I get sent that I can hardly go thru in a month of whatever. It doesn't take up TOO MUCH space, but I don't collect magazines so I have little real use for it.

Yes, you still like more overlap with your cottage and your academia, that some of these things I would agree are more the LATTER [at least more than some of the previous items in a vid or something]. Like some of the tea sets and dishware, anyway, whereas baskets are obviously country farm along with flour containers decoraty and such. Academia would prefer to hide that stuff in the shelves with the cabinet doors, right? Metal decoratys and ornaments I'm gonna say more urban a bit. [Um, except when they has old metal contraption kinda stuff around, like the well pump and such. That's more stuff that WAS functional necessity once more than added for flair and all that. I mean REAL 1800s, which ye don't find at thrift stores but those pricy places ye mentioned...]

Oh, but also I wanted t' mention the straw chairs that were common that likely don't show up at thrift place but also maybe the antique place. But just one for the corner opposite the rocker, maybe, because I don't know how much can SIT in them before they give way?

No painty of a cow or some sheep? Baah.
