The Rest of our Kitchen

Hello everyone,

       How quickly the month is slipping by! I am sure you are all busy getting shopping,baking and decorating done. I am looking forward to a Christmas baking day soon but I do have my decorating done-one of the perks of being on a house tour!

  Anyway,I shared the dining part of our kitchen a few days ago but I thought you might like to see the rest of the kitchen.Although our home is 95 years old the kitchen was redone about six years ago.

 The cupboards were built by Joe Mitchell , a local cabinet maker and I am very happy with them. They are a creamy white with a glaze over them - very easy to care for.

I like having some touches of red to tie the cupboard area in with the dining area.

These are the original floors. The stove is built into the island.

The dining area for those who missed that post.

Well,now you have seen the rest of the kitchen so the family room will be next.

Thank you for visiting me,
Carolyn

In a Golden Light

Hello everyone.

      It was another beautiful sunny day here so I grabbed my camera(Canon Rebel) and took some pictures in the lovely golden light in our bedroom. 

I am going to let you quietly tip toe through the room!

We put two old doors from the Restore in behind the bed until we find another use for them.

If I confused you with this corner it is because while taking the pics I realized that it might look better to put the chaise in the other corner and the chair here as it didn't block the fireplace.

Tea anyone?

Help yourself to some of the cookies left over from the house tour on Sat. -compliments of my daughter Jennifer.

I did say I would give you the Christmas House Tour but it might take me until Christmas to do it-as it is one room at a time so you get the whole picture!

Thank you for all the lovely comments you have left for me- I love to hear from you and I am sorry that I haven't had time to get back to you all. I will try to do better this week. Welcome also to my new followers.

Goodnight!

Carolyn

Christmas Soaps

Hello everyone,

       Hope you all had a lovely weekend. It was a busy one here but very nice. We  had a couple of house tours here on Saturday-a small one in the morning from Japan and over 100 here in the evening.We were very happy with the turnout as it was all for a good cause and everyone seemed to be happy and enjoying themselves.

 Today,I wanted to share with you some lovely Christmas Soaps made from pure Goat's Milk that arrived in the mail for me recently. These pretty soaps were one of the little details that I was happy to have on display for our tour.

    

Whenever I saw them, I knew they would look so pretty in my pretty soap dish.

They are from the Victorian Rose Soap Co.- a small family farm where they are living off the land and raising happy healthy goats with their daughter Emmeline's help.The milk is used to make good quality nourishing skin care products that they are proud to sell.

I love the Santa sleigh soap as well as the snowflake ones.

They do look pretty on the little tray as well-I love the little details!

Not only are they pretty to look at but they are !00% pure and very good for your skin. Thank you, Karen for sending me these lovely soaps and if you would like some these or any of their wonderful line of products   please visit Karen here.

 Tomorrow,I plan to share some photos from the house tour with you, so I hope you will come back!

Thanks for visiting,
Carolyn
