Cosy Tea Times

Welcome December!

Today I am sharing some cosy

winter tea times over the past

few years.

The weather has just turned colder

here but still no snow.

A touch of plaid and some enamalware

makes for a cosy winter tea.

Maybe, you prefer your winter

time afternoon tea by the fire.

I enjoy using my Friendly Village

tea set this time of the year.

A snowy winter tea in the garden.

Enamelware tea again.

                                             Red and white transferware tea

                                              by the fire with sugar cookies...

                                              a nice treat!

 

Tea and mince meat pie

I do love transferware and have

collected all colors over the

years.

Hammock time on a beautiful

winter day with a thermos

of hot tea.

Tea in the Boathouse.

I will end with a cosy fireside tea.

All we need is a good book and some

time to enjoy!

Thanks for joining me for tea today.

Take care,

Christmas in the Porch

Hello everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your

weekend.

Last evening my husband and I

enjoyed strolling the streets of

downtown Charlottetown(PEI)

taking in all the pretty lights

and the vendors set up along

Queen St. for our annual

Victorian Christmas.

You can check out some

beautiful photos and get

more info for this and upcoming

events on Discover Charlottetown

facebook 

However, getting to my Christmas

in the porch/entry theme.....

We gave our porch a makeover a few

weeks ago.It is not safe to leave me

with a can of paint!

My husband built an open closet

for baskets of mitts,hats etc.

and we built in an electric fireplace

with a cedar surround so I think

it adds a warm and cosy first

impression coming into our

home.

I love this old church window

from our local Restore.

We plan to put mirrors in

the middle part after Christmas.

I think it adds some unique charm

in the hallway coming in from the

screened in porch.

The cedar bench my husband built

is perfect for sitting on to remove

outdoor footwear.

The plaid/tartan throw and pillow give

a warm winter vibe.

These very old skates were a 70 mile

yard sale find a few years ago.

We are enjoying the changes in our

little porch. 

Blessings to you on this first

Sunday of Advent.

Thank you for visiting!
