Hello everyone,
Well,the countdown is certainly on now as Christmas is drawing near. We have enjoyed some Christmas concerts for the little ones,a community concert at our church,a day out with my daughters and a lovely evening visiting with friends. Tomorrow night is the annual gift exchange and supper at our house where each of the little ones receives one gift from a cousin or sibling to start the excitement rolling!
Today,I am continuing the Christmas house tour with a few shots of our family room.
The reading nook that we had built a couple of years ago out of the two closets that were here as at one time this was our bedroom.It also gives extra seating, when we have a crowd,like tomorrow night!
I flung the doors open so you could get a better look at some of my brown and white transferware dishes-I am sure you know by now that I am a dish addict!
This old cupboard came from Coulson's in Summerside a few years ago and we painted it Victorianna by Ralph Lauren the same as the woodwork.
Above ,is some Christmas decorations from our tree.
Hopefully, you are all enjoying the sights,sounds and aromas of the Christmas season.
I am joining the house in the roses for Show-off your Cottage Monday.

Oh, so cozy and festive, Carolyn! I am sure you will have the best time tomorrow evening with all the little ones.
We had a lot of snow yesterday and it's really winter here today, like a Christmas card. I am still putting a few touches of Christmas around the house and outside, even though the Tea and Tour at hour house was a week ago Sunday past. I am a bit slow getting the pics on my blog, but they will be coming soon, I promise :-)
I hope your week is wonderful!
Hugs,

Hi Carolyn,
Your home is so lovely. I wish you could come decorate my home :) :) I can see why you like your dishes so much. They're beautiful and are accented so nicely by that Victoriana white cupboard ;) :) Have a very Happy Christmas ;) :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather ;)
Dear Carolyn,
Beautiful photo's of your home! The nook looks very pretty and I enjoyed having a look in your dresser. I bought a lovely Sadler teapot recently, which I think you would love too. What is it about china.....I always find it difficult to resist in a thrift store :-)
Thank you for your email! I am glad you received the parcel. I knew you would love the JDL magazine. I hope your mother will enjoy the magazines too.
Wish you a lovely evening tomorrow with your grandchildren!
Lieve groet, Madelief x
* I will reply your email tomorrow :-)

This room is so beautiful. You just want to hang in the sofa with a good book, or whatever. Looks amazing.
Hope you have a nice day.

Dearest Carolyn,
Well, if you call yourself an addict of Transferware, than it is one of the nicest addictions around! You keep on creating and re-creating lovely settings with it.
Enjoy this pre-Christmas season with your loved ones and I hope all are in good health, so is your little Grandson.
Love to you,
Mariette
