Welcome to Alphabe Thursday and Mrs.Matlocks post featuring the letter "Q" this week. I have decided to be light hearted today and use Q for quaint.
The definition of "quaint" is having an old-fashioned attractiveness or charm; oddly picturesque
1. a quaint old house
2. strange, peculiar,or unusual in an interesting way, pleasing or amusing way. a quaint sense of humor
3. skillfully or cleverly made
4. Obsolete,wise;skilled.
Here are a few images of quaint.
I hope you have enjoyed these quaint images! I re posted this "Q" pot from one of my first times posting with Jenny. Please visit all the wonderful Q posts new and old alike!

I do love the quaint pictures of the houses! I especially love the one that looks like it has moss on its roof! Joni
I love the word quaint! It is so old fashioned and just evokes a feeling. Good Q word!
Very QUAINT post this week (o:
Love the thatched roof one...
Nice quaint!! I love the word
I love your quaint pictures, that house is so adorable
Yes they are quite quaint! Enjoyed my visit and thanks for visiting me! ~Maryjane
I love thatched roof houses like the ones I've seen during several trips to England. I have collected several over the years.
I agree with your definition of quiant & some lovely photos. Thank you!
I love this post! Quaint is such a great word. The second house is just dreamy, what a lovely place to come home too. BTW, I scrolled down and read the "boy" post - I'm laughing so hard I scared the cat :) Kathy
I do love quaint. I saw once on HGTV, that when someone mentions quaint regarding a house that means small. I don't necessarily think that's always true. I loved all your pictures.
I like that word too - makes me feel homey and safe. sandie
Yep! Quaint is definitely a Q-word! And your photos have captured "quaint" very well. Nice pics.
Happy Qs

What a lovely Q post. LOve those "Quaint"houses.
I too am loving the second photo illustrating quaint. I can just imagine living a simple but sweet life in that home!
Thank you for sharing.

Very nice pictures. I really like the purple door! Purple and green were our wedding colors.
I completely enjoyed your quaint images ... especially the houses ...
oh those houses are so beautiful :D
Very well done Q post! Loved the pictures. If someday I ever get to a place where I can hire a decorator (HA!) I may have to tell her that I want my rooms to look quaint! :)
I love quaint it is very English
There is something QUITE charming in the word QUAINT! Lovely Q choice!!!
Oh I love those cottages!
They are quite charmingly quaint.
And that photoshopped picture with the purple door and roses is magical.
Thanks for sharing this charming stop with us on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday's Letter "Q"!

Love the Quaint images...especially the first cottage...very Olde English Quaint...Peace and blessings
Oh great images. I love the cottage with the thatched roof and the purple door. I think quaint is wonderful. Good word.
Give me a quaint house any day!
I do love that little green cottage with the stone fireplace. I would be very happy living in ''Quaintville". :-)
I love your choice of word.
My favorite story about the word 'quaint' comes from long ago when we lived in the US. Our landlady had some friends over to meet us, and one of the guests said 'I've always liked Canadians. They're so quaint.' We howled with laughter when we got home, and it's been a family joke ever since.
oooh, i am loving the sweet little thatched roof cottage...so adorable!!!
Ooh I love the English cottage with the thatched roof. I want to live there and look out my cottage door everyday! Maybe quaint is the best way to live.
