As the summer approaches, many families will be moving to a new home. Welcome the newcomers to your neighborhood with this sweet little treat holder.
Fun and fresh, the cottage can be filled with M&Ms, jelly beans or even red hots–perhaps a subliminal hint to prepare Northern transplants for their first Texas summer?
Or, tuck in a scroll with an invitation to a block party to meet the new neighbors.
Whatever you choose to put inside, this charming residence will hold a few goodies–and a whole lot of welcome.
The ‘Cozy Cottage’ treat holder was first presented on the Stampin’ Addicts 2010 Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop.

What a darling cottage Holly. Thanks for sharing the wonderful idea.
Oh my Holly I just discovered what happens when I forget to do the math at the bottom of the comment box. “bye, bye spambot” and forbidden 403! Thanks for the chuckle.
