I am so blessed to have extended family who own a piece of heaven...heaven also known as Rosseau, a quaint cottage town in Muskoka, Ontario. Whenever I visit, I count down the minutes to when I can pop into Hilltop Interiors. Truly one of my favourite shops in the world and you can see why...
I am sure all of you can relate to their motto, 'Comfortable home, comfortable life'.
Make it past the gorgeous window boxes and garden trinkets, and you enter a world of true delight...
The colours are so beautiful and the displays simply dreamy...
Can't you just imagine curling up on this lounge with a good book...and a glass of wine?
It was 'until next time' to Hilltop and over to the Rosseau General Store to have ice cream in the Summer sun. A good way to cool off after the excitement provided by Hilltop and lay down the bags of treaures you are sure to come out with!
I couldn't resist sharing this picture from my brother and sister-in-law's wedding. Us girls just had to sneak a snapshot outside the charming little shop on the way to the church.
After ice cream, it's off to the Teeny Weeny Bikini Co for the ultimate in summer wears and retro accessories. I love the fence made out of oars!
Then past the historic church (where my brother and sister-in-law got married)...
...through another antique shop...
...and another. This next one though is definitely worth a mention - Cynthia Crawford Antiques.
We managed to catch Cynthia in the shop on this particular day and she is as charming as her store. I picked up the most gorgeous his and hers hand towels and Cynthia was telling us that Sarah Richardson from Sarah's House is a frequent shopper. I am not at all surprised...it is a real treasure trove.
Rosseau in Muskoka really is a piece of heaven on earth and I can't wait until my next stay. If I didn't live so far away, I would've been able to indulge my obsession a little more and filled up another suitcase or two...or truck! But hey, it's a good excuse to plan another visit!

Oh Jacqui, I can see why you are spellbound by this little treasure. How lucky that you have been able to visit it more than once. Jen xo
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful places! I would love to go treasure hunting there! So much to look at.... I imagine it would have been hard to stop taking photos!!! x
ReplyDeleteWhat great places to visit. I just love to treasure hunt but unfortunately, we don't have as many places like this over here. I am just loving the lounge with the red sofa. It looks so cozy...a glass of wine, yes, and a roaring fire in the gorgeous fireplace!

My only daughter is now living in Ontario..Hamilton...I don't know where that is in relation to this place but I will recommend that she finds out. Have a lovely weekend.
