Hello everyone,
We are having record breaking temperatures here on Prince Edward Island. Yesterday it was 30 degrees Celsius and 38 with the humidity factored in. A little too hot for me but in another day or two and it will be cooler so I will be lazy and sip lemonade and read in a shady spot today.
Last night was pretty warm as well so we decided to sleep out in our little garden cottage(above).
It has lots of windows and doors so there was a lovely breeze coming in all night.
I love waking up to the sun shining in-I do miss all the bird sounds of early spring and summer but I did hear the odd crow! The cottage has electricity so I listened to quiet background music.
It is very peaceful .
Delicate lace nightgown and bed jacket
A good place to read(opposite side)
I was treated to breakfast in bed this morning- a lovely way to start the day! I think we should just move out here in the summertime!
A lovely rose to adorn my breakfast tray.
I made some biscuits yesterday and peach preserves a few weeks ago. Homemade peach preserves are my favorite.
The bed reflected in the vanity mirror(yard sale find).
Angels to guard you as you sleep.
I love to see the lace curtains moving in the breeze.
I think this angel fell asleep on the job!
Well, I hope you enjoyed the sleepover in" the gardener's cottage" and it looks so romantic by candlelight I think I will have to share that with you soon too!
Today is Tablescape Thursday at Susan's Between Naps on the Porch so I am joining in.
Thank you for visiting me and hope you enjoy the other lovely tablescapes at Susan's.

Morning, Carolyn! Oh, how glorious! This is just the most wonderful place on earth! You're so blessed. I'm thinking you must not have mosquitoes or you'd be eaten up alive! They're so big here and just attack you when you walk outside! :)
Your biscuits and preserves look so good. I've used your recipe for th biscuits and it's wonderful!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Good Morning Carolyn!
God has truly blessed you, Carolyn! You own a slice of heaven that most of us only dream about in a favorite dream! May you continue to enjoy God's blessings in your life! ...and thank you so much for sharing them with us all!! Even I can't own something so unbelieveably beautiful, it is nice to have a friend that does who generously shares her life with us! :D

Oh Carolyn,du lebst ja wie eine Prinzessin,ich würde auch gerne bei dir im Gartenhaus wohnen.Liebe Grüße Edith.
Your life in wonderful place is like a dream. Greetings from Poland. Have a good day.
Romantic, enchanting, exquisite, a dream garden cottage.
You have such a flair for styling Carolyn! You really should publish a book! I so enjoy your vignettes, they are just dreamy! Best wishes to mom...I think you needed a good nights rest yourself!
Beautiful Carolyn! I adore your little cottage. It's been as hot here with 34 C the last 3 days! And the humidity! I hear Hurricane Earl may take a trip across Grand Manan, on to Saint John and Miramichi. No matter what you and I are going to get much needed rain. Blessings!

I am so happy that you are able to enjoy such loveliness after the anxious weeks you have had with your mama being ill. This surely helped heal your spirit!
Thank you as always for sharing your home with us.
What a heavenly spot!!
Love,

I love the Royal Albert teacup you present on this post! Can you please tell me the name of it? I have a small collection of teacups, all antique, and not matching. I do not have this one and would like to know the name of it so I can perhaps find one.
Yes, I think I am asleep and dreaming when I look at these pictures! Lovely, Carolyn!
Your garden cottage reminds me of nights at my grandparents home. The windows open, the curtains swaying from the breeze...beautiful!
Quelle bonne idée!!! Sleeping surrounded by all those delicate fragrance. What a delight!!!♥ Hélène
Carolyn, I think I'd spend a great deal of time in this lovely gardener's cottage. It is perfection and so is that beautiful breakfast tray. ~ Sarah
Oh Carolyn - your gardener's cottage just oozes peace and romance. How utterly blissful! You are so very blessed to have a place like that to retreat to. And your photos are just stunning.... :)

Someone up in the comments said, "Heavenly",and that is exactly what I was thinking as well. I would feel as if I were back in time in such a place. It's simply perfect to me.
Dear Carolyn,
It must be so special to start the day in such a romantic place! I love everything about it! So sweet of Andrew to make you a breakfast in bed.
Your biscuits and peach preserve look good. It's some time ago since I made it, but perhaps I will have some time this weekend!
Lieve groet, Madelief
Hi Carolyn... Looks like you founda perfect spot to alzy about in the shade :-) Your little cottage is perfect and delightful:-)
Bella
Carolyn, That is an absolute DREAM of a cottage! I dream of having a sleeping porch someday....I think I'd like it to be a lot like your gardener's cottage.
The teacup and breakfast are beautiful too. Ok, I'm going to go back and re-live your post!
Really nice your pots, the bed looks absolutly peacefull.
Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

Sigh... to wake up in your gardener's cottage! Absolutely magical.
Until viewing your blog, I never believed people actually lived as wonderfully as you! I used to think that was only reserved for Victorian novels and fairy tales! ♥
Is this some heavenly dream??? I want it all!
Hi Carolyn, Oh how I love your Garden cottage; it's just so beautiful, romantic and so tranquil. And to be surrounded by your beautiful gardens; pure heaven! I always enjoy visiting your lovely blog.
Warmest hugs, Brenda
I thouroughly enjoyed my tour of your beautiful garden cottage. I will be looking around more before leaving, thank you so much for sharing your lovely home and I am inspired to add a little extra touch of lovelyness to each day.
