Northeast Travel

July 25, 2015/ Whitney Leigh Morris

I took a 1-week trip to the Northeast (Pennsylvania and Connecticut) to scout wedding locations with a friend and client of mine. It's occasions like this that remind me how lucky I am to be running this little business of ours...

The Tiny Canal Cottage

"You don't have to live large to live beautifully." Goods + ideas for stylish, simple living from The Tiny Canal Cottage® by Whitney Leigh Morris

Welcome to the Cottage

The Tiny Canal Cottage® is a 1920's Craftsman-style house by the Venice Beach Canals in Southern California. It is home to Creative Director Whitney Leigh Morris, her husband, their son, and two rescue beagles.

He only uses a small handful of toys, but he goes through all of his books numerous times per day. We transferred his collection from baskets to a 3-tier rolling cart that he can wheel around our tiny house. It’s pretty damn adorable.📚🌿

Hmmm... this is going to end well. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #adoptdontshop

The cottage security team has expanded. 🐶🐶🧒🏼

A photo of my magnificent Mama in the front tiny cottage last month. Tomorrow she is turning 70. But today she is saying goodbye to her mother— my Nana— who passed away earlier this week. It’s one heck of a time to be thousands of miles away from my parents, but I will celebrate my Nana’s life and rejoice at the anniversary of my mother’s birth from afar. Love can be shared and felt across any divide, right? And Mama, I love you endlessly.

He won’t need to hold my hand to navigate stairs or curbs much longer. I’m trying desperately— and unsuccessfully— to slow down time. 💛 (Thank you, @denisexmarie for picking out this @loveshackfancy dress for me! It makes me feel like I’m in a fairytale, and I love it.🧚‍♂️)
