			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always loved the thought of building a tiny little cottage from natural *mostly* free materials.  </p>
<p>You might not have realized it, but there are people everywhere, who are building their own little cottages from free supplies that they have gathered from their property such as; mud, straw, sticks, and stones! And, no matter how hard the big bad wolf blows, he won&#8217;t be able to blow these little cottages down&#8230; not by the hair of our chinny-chin-chin <img src='http://www.astorybooklife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>With a little bit of know how and very little money&#8230; you could be in a little place of your own in a short amount of time!</p>
<p>Something about having a little cozy place to bake some pies, hang pretty little curtains, and be surrounded with piles of cottage gardens&#8230; is the melody of my dreams!</p>
<p>I think I hear music <img src='http://www.astorybooklife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
