French Country Cottage Seasons is an inspirational guide for living, decorating, and entertaining throughout the year in ways that feel both attainable and meaningful.

Capture the magic of living in harmony with the seasons—where gathered flowers, thoughtfully styled rooms, and welcoming tables transform everyday life into something extraordinary. From spring's fresh beginnings to winter's cosy glow, Courtney Allison shares how she celebrates each season at French Country Cottage through her home, garden, and gatherings.

Filled with inspiring interiors, enchanting outdoor tablescapes, seasonal florals, and inviting recipes, this book is a love letter to slow living and intentional beauty. Whether styled indoors or beneath garden trees, each moment encourages readers to savour the present season and create meaningful experiences of their own.

Let each page remind you that beauty doesn't have to be complicated—it simply needs to be noticed.

About the Author

Courtney Allison founded the lifestyle blog and brand French Country Cottage, a place inspired by renovations of her 1940s cottage and about living a lifestyle that is fueled by inspiration and the romance that comes with it. She loves the quintessential mix of rustic and elegant elements, indulges a love of all things sprinkled with ambiance and magic, and believes that a chandelier and bouquets of fresh flowers belong in every room.

In addition to working as an influencer, she is a freelance photographer, stylist, and floral designer. Her work has been featured in magazines and websites in the U.S. and Europe.

Courtney lives in a little slice of the countryside in California with her husband. Connect with Courtney and French Country Cottage on her blog, Facebook, and Instagram.
