Hello everyone,
We are having a lovely summer here on the Island but it is hard to believe summer is half gone already. So to celebrate our warm summer nights I have created a little spot for you to relax and enjoy a mid summer nights dream!
The iron bed from the veranda has been moved into the garden terrace just for you!
It is only afternoon yet but what a nice place to relax with your favorite book or magazine and a cup of tea.
There is some quiet background music playing and a gentle Island breeze.
I gathered up some pretty linens.
As evening is approaching I lit the candles for you.
It is getting dark but the moon is rising and the fairy lights are on.
You even have a candle chandelier.
Well, look at that it is morning already and another beautiful sunny day. I hope you enjoyed a beautiful mid summer night's dream.
Thank you to all who have visited me and left such lovely comments-I am sorry I have not got back to all of you(not only is summer too short but our days too!). Also, thank you to all of you who have become followers as well-I really appreciate your visits.
I would like to mention again that we are hosting a tour of our garden for any of you who can make it. The tour is this Saturday from 2-4 . All the money raised goes to Muscular Dystrophy Association of P.E.I. and tickets can be bought at the gate. If anyone is interested and needs more info you can email me.
Thank you for visiting,
&
Enjoy your day,
Carolyn

Enchanting! Jacqueline
"This is enchanting", I most certainly would love to nap in your garden, BUT then I wouldn't be able to drink in all this beauty. So I will choose to sit up all night and we can exchange silly stories over sipping tea until the sun rises... Donna

That looks like THE most romantic setting...beautiful!!
Have a lovely day!

Fine evening
This is almost too perfect to believe, Carolyn! But then, it is a DREAM, isn't it? How marvelous of you to take the time to create this fantasy for everyone to relish and delight in. Truly one of your most beautiful and awe-inspiring posts! – g
You've made a beautiful place for some restful relaxation Carolyn. I love the magical ambience that takes effect at dusk.
I hope to one day visit your gardens as we want to travel east again one summer.
Judith
The place is dreamy.... You have a beautiful blog.

HI Carolyn...
I love this setting. It's just what I want for my room!!!! I LOVe the outdoor settings the best. You should check out Mary Jane's Farm...website and magazine. She's famous for her outdoor camping and doing similar things like this :) :)
I noticed the one photo with the Victoria magazine. That's been my favorite magazine since about 1994. I love how the magazine has returned to focusing on Victorian things!!!!
Have a lovely rest of the week. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
Hi Judith,
That would be lovely-it's nice to meet blogging friends!
Carolyn
Can you say N-A-P!!! How dreamy. Beautiful, as always.

Oh Carolyn..I could lay there forever and daydream! What a beautiful relaxing retreat! Thank you!!
Wanda
Wow! Simply amazing!
I'm curious about your quilt on the bed and the embroidered pillow as well. Could you tell me the source?
Thank you!
I remember my own visit to PEI fondly.
Oh Carolyn, such an extravagance - moving that glorious bed to the garden. It's a dream come true!

Oh Carolyn, this looks so romantic! Especially the photos taken in the dusk with the candle light! To me it is the perfect place to take a nap.
Good luck with your tour the coming weekend!
Lieve groet, Madelief
Hello Carolyn,
I just found your beautiful blog
and I love to follow!
I have also a bed on the veranda
but yours is so very lovely!
So incredibly lovely and romantic! The food also looks delicious :D
What a fabulous place of rest, truly magical!

What a dream! Sleeping under the stars. In such a beautiful environment. Simply wonderful Carolyn.

This is such a fantasy post! Lovely. Breakfast, lunch or dinner on our piazza, usually with grandchildren or rioutous friends, aren't as pretty, but just as enriching.
Carolyn, Thank you for all you do to create such a gorgeous place for us to dream. I would love nothing better than to tour your amazing garden...wish Georgia wasn't so far away.
Hi Carolyn..
Such a beautiful & lovely setting,really admired.
Soo lovely & sweet indeed=))
Kindly frm Qatar
