For local Nova Scotia children at home and the many US children who were not able to travel this year to the cottages, I wanted to create craft ideas as part of my larger “Kare Atlas” project. In this first craft, I was inspired by the view from the private beach at Explorer’s Cottage.
Cottage Wedding Photo Inspirations
While weddings or any parties are not permitted at the cottages due to the delicate cottage contents and landscaping, many guests have their weddings at professional venues and then host their close family and friends at the cottages for the evenings and for wedding photos. I put together some examples of wedding photo styles that can take place at the cottages on Pinterest. The photo I took here is my own and just at the private shore of Explorer’s Cottage, which sits on the Bras d’Or, part of the Atlantic Ocean.
Cottage Spotify Playlists
The cottage playlists combine Gaelic songs from Celtic Colours and Acadian music with Edvard Grieg, Icelandic music, Arcade Fire, Sun Sessions Elvis Presley, First Aid Kit, and some Johnny Cash, as he toured the area. The Explorer’s Cottage playlist is a little bit more related to exploration, while the Raspberry Cottage playlist is more related to farm and family life.
