I'll let the photos, of Richard Cottrell's wonderful shop, speak for themselves.
I left with a serious Wish List!
I was asked if someone actually lives in the Elgin-Cottrell House. Richard and his faithful Beagle Prissy, who met us at the door, reside here.

We stopped at Eagle Bluff Golf Club, just south of Clarksville, for Sunday Brunch. The following photos show the beautiful Missouri Fall scenery, that was our view.
I've linked this post at Hooked on Houses. Julia is hosting Hooked on Fridays, a blog party. I'm hooked on old homes, antiques and the state of Missouri!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks Pat...eels like I was right there with you!
Morning sweetie...I saw plenty of 'pretties' that I would want!!!!
lol Loved that little room with the washboard and aprons and that wagon wheel....ohhhhhh! In that last pic of the house was that a real crane on the roof or just a statue of one? The Eagle Bluff pics were my favorite..you always manage to capture pics that just make me sigh! Have a great weekend girl!
That looks like a fun find, Pat! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. :)
Hi Pat -

I love the pink pannel wall and iron bed
Hi Pat, This gentleman has superb taste and artistry to place things together for a beautiful effect. It must be hard for him to sell things or it would be for me to let some of those treasures go. I'm still impressed that he found you through your blog...small world. ;-) Bo
Pat, I don't know how you were able to leave Richard's Rose Cottage without purchasing half the store! What beautful things!
The secenery was breathtaking too!
Hugs, Pat in NY
What a place! I have to echo Jan's sentiments about having tea with that tea set under that chandelier.
Thanks for joining the blog party, Pat! I appreciate it. Have a great weekend! -Julia :-)

Good morning, Pat! Another delight!! I could really shop here! lol

Thanks, Pat!
I love that little rose-colored valance in the window. Adorable.
I can imagine your wishlist. LOL!

Hi Pat :)
That shop is gorgeous and if I lived there I would be broke! Do you think Richard would mind if my family and I just moved in with him? Shiloh and Prissy are probably cousins anyway ;)
Missouri is beautiful, but you know I'm partial to it since that's where my grandpa Papa grew up :)
hugs,
rue
ooooH That was fun. I so would love that nightgown ....although, I could never sleep in that much fabric! HA!
What a lovely shop and your photos are beautiful!
Hugs,
Cathie
Rose's Cottage looks like a terrific place for anyone who loves vintage and antique pretties! I always love your pics of Missouri; such a beautiful place seen through your eyes, Pat.
Apparently, I'm hooked on beautiful photographs because I always head over to your blog to get my fill of them!
My wish list from all you've shown is far too big to even consider...my checkbook is screaming in agony at just the thought. lol
Kari
What a wonderful tour. it looks like a beautiful store,and your photos are beautiful!

Every bit of this was breathtaking...but I'm in love with that tea service!
Thanks for the wonderful tour, Pat!

I could most certainly live there!!
What a beautiful, beautiful house. I would love to visit it myself someday and take some things home with me :)

I think I will just have to make another road trip one of these days and I'm going to make you take me over for a visit.

Oh my goodness Pat! Now that was a lovely way to start my Monday morning...sitting sipping my coffee and going on a tour like that! There are just so many things I love in this post, but I have been after an old wash board for the longest time, so that really caught my eye! Wishing you a truly wonderful day sweetie!
