Hello everyone,
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I was so happy to have some snow arrive a couple of days before Christmas as it had been so mild and I was resigning myself to a green one.It was Christmas card perfect!
Come along and I will show you some of the beautiful sights!
Beaconsfield(a museum) is open to the public for tours and it is decorated in the Victorian style.
Fanningbank
and now back home.
We had a lovely Christmas with all of our children and grandchildren gathered around our table for our traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings-a blessing indeed! Last night we had five of our little grandchildren(6 years and under) for a sleepover with a night coming soon for the 3 older ones.Little Lila was not feeling well so she didn't stay the night this time.It is so much fun to see them having such a good time together.
On a different note I got a new lens for my camera so now I am off to practice on this beautiful bright winter day!
Thank you to all who left such lovely kind wishes for me this Christmas season. I had hoped to be able to get back to you all personally but time slips by too fast.
Thank you for visiting me today.

Prince Edward Island looks lovely in Christmas White! Thank you for the tour. I feel a connection though i've never visited the island. I grew up on Vancouver island but my grandfather was born in Charlottetown. I'd love to visit there one day. All the best for the New Year Carolyn! Thank you for sharing peace and gentle loveliness with us year round.
It is pleasant for you, Carolyn !!!
All the best for the New Year, from Poland.

Thank you for posting, Carolyn. Oooooo, can't wait to see some of your photos taken through your new lens.
May 2012 be a fabulous year for you and for all of us!
Looking forward to your inspirational posts. Susan
How beautiful! Snowy homes are just the best! Happy New Year to you! I look forward to your posts of 2012, you are one of my favorite blogs!
What absolutely gorgeous photos. Thank you so much for sharing them. We, too have been blessed by your white Christmas snowfall. So glad you had a warm and wonderful Christmas! Have just been re-reading (and mentioned it on my blog) a Christmas theme mystery by CC Benison, a Canadian, whose main character is a housemaid at Buckingham Palace who helps the queen solve mysteries. She is from Charlottestown!
Cheers!

Your photos a gorgeous. So calm and peaceful. I love the one with the lighthouse and house reflected in the water. The lamp post would make a beautiful Christmas card.
We had a brown Christmas so loved seeing your snowy ones.

Christmas card perfect, Carolyn! Such beautiful pictures and homes you've shared. We had a green Christmas here in Ohio, but some snow is in the forecast for later today.
Beautiful photos!!Thank you for this!Happy new year for you and for your family!

Hi Carolyn,
Your photos show our Island off to perfection. It is so pretty out right now.
I'm glad you had a lovely Christmas with your family.
Wishing you a New Year filled with blessings from above and may all your dreams come true!
Happy Holidays,
Sandi
Your photos are wonderful, sounds like you had a perfect Christmas! I've really enjoyed finding your blog, have a Happy Happy New Year! xo
What a lovely Christmas weather! Here in Sweden we had rainy, grey days and a terrible storm called Dagmar (!) in the northern parts! Not a very pleasant Christmas at all.
I just love those old houses that you shown us today. And the people that takes care of them. Looks lovely. The blue one with the veranda is my favorite apart from yours, lol.
Hope you have a nice day with your new lens.
Love Elzie
Oh how fresh snow makes everything look so beautiful ...though the houses in your pictures certainly don't need much to make them breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing today. Congratulations on your new camer lense ...got mine for my birthday and I'm still learning what wonderful things it can do. Stop by and say hello. Happy New Year!
You could make a picture book with these photos! Gorgeous!
Espectacular!!!
Una verdadera maravilla!!
Feliz Navidad!
Veronica

I enjoyed so much your Old Painted Cottage feature! Oh, how you make me long to visit Prince Edward Island more than ever with your gorgeous pictures of the island and surrounding homes! It has been a dream of mine for many, many years!
Can your pics get any better? Thank you for a beautiful tour. Your home is beautiful! ~ Maureen
How lovely those houses all look - I love the white one above the word Fanningbank, it's a really elegant building. Glad you had a good Christmas and I hope little Lila is feeling better now.
Haha, now I'm beginning to be a little afraid for myself!! The house I ment wasn't even blue!!! It was light brown, or cendre as we call it! I don't know what you call that color? (The 4th picture from the end).
Love again, Elzie
Hi Carolyn,
Looove your photos. Everything is so serene after a newly fallen snow. You captured these houses in the snow so wonderfully.
Thanks for all the marvellous pics you sent! I'll write soon. :-)
Hugs,
Linda
Gorgeous houses in a beautiful scenery. A dreamworld! Really a postcard Christmas.
Bye,
Marian
Just beautiful, I do love a white Christmas it gives everything a clean fresh look. Thanks for sharing,
Hi Carolyn,
Happy to hear you and Andrew had a wonderful Christmas! The snow looks magical. I am a bit envious ;-)! It was green and even warm for the time of year in Holland. The sleepover of your grandchildren sounds like fun. I hope you managed to get some sleep yourself :-)?!
Enjoy the last few days of the year. Good luck with your new lens.
Lieve groet,
Madelief x

All the best in the New Year!
Hello Carolyn
How fortune that the snow arrived just in time and what fairytale houses in the snow: they look too perfect to be real.
What fun to have all the little grandchildren around for a sleepover: your home must be filled with laughter.
Warmest greetings for a Happy New Year
Anna

Greetings Carolyn ...
PEI has stolen my heart.. We visit this past summer with my son and daughter-in-law... but it's even more beautiful with snow( Ha Ha)... You're right snow is a Christmas blessing... Delightful post... Have fun with your new lens... Happy New Year..
HUGS
Truly gorgeous, each and every one of these homes, including yours.
What a beautiful place you live at!!! Picture perfect.
Cindy
You truly live in heaven on earth, Carolyn. PEI is just amazingly beautiful, and the architecture of the homes there are incredible, too. I SO enjoy seeing photos of your lovely island! Don't even get me started on your stunning home and property..... :)

I love your White Christmas pictures. I am always afraid to pray for snow for Christmas as we travel early on Christmas morning to my daughter's house 70 miles away. I love the idea of a grandchild sleep-over. I can't wait until mine are old enough. Merry Christmas and have fun with your new camera!
I'm so glad you got snow and made time for this gorgeous post. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
Thank you for sharing pix of such beautiful houses :)
Greetings from Australia♥
We had a wonderful hot Christmas Day and I have to say I loved it, I also loved the photos of all those wonderful places you have shared with us thank you for that........
Just like you think it isn't really Christmas without snow we feel that it isn't Christmas without heat......
Beautiful photos and beautiful houses. I dream of living in a house like these.
In the UK I can't even get a dolls house in that style.
Have a wonderful New Year. Can't wait to see your garden and home in full swing in 2012. xx
Beautiful! We haven't snow this year.
Best wishes for the New Year!
Your photos make me wish I lived in one of those lovely homes in PEI. Happy New Year, Carolyn.
