Hello everyone,
Now, I am not really off my rocker as the expression goes(at least ,I don't think I am) but I did get a new rocking chair at a local thrift shop for $10. and I knew I could find a spot for it somewhere. For,today it looks rather charming sitting out on our veranda so I took a few quick shots of it before the sun went down.
I quickly gathered up some props for my little photo shoot.
Our Christmas tree in the background looks good for the winter out here on the porch.
My little dutch windmill birdhouse is so cute and a nice little reminder of my Dutch roots. My Mom came from Holland as a war bride many long years ago.
Hope you enjoyed my little photo shoot and if you think I could be' off my rocker' just ignore the comment section today.Ha!Ha!
I am joining French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday,
The Charm of Home for Home Sweet Home
The Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration.
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn

What a great buy you got the rocking chair for! It looks sweet with the red plaid blanket and greenery on your porch. I think it was mild enough to sit out there for a bit today wasn't it? Providing you were out of the wind.
Hello Carolyn, I just found your blog and I absolutely love it...I especially like your Dutch windmill, as I am Dutch myself.I live in Amsterdam...
I can't wait for your next post..

Wow what a great deal on the rocker. It is beautiful. Love the look sitting on your veranda. I don't think I could leave it outside though. It is so cute. Thanks for sharing. Love your blog. Karie
LOL! I would never think of you as "off your rocker", Carolyn! : ) Love how you dressed it up for the photos. Love that plaid throw.
Happy New Year my Fellow Canadian! I love your new rocker and your little photo shoot is so sweet! Have a great rest of the week.

I am in awe as to how you made it look so warm and cozy in the midst of the snow. Beautiful.. luving the plaid throw and the bright red boots!!
Sending you warm Florida hugs.

Hi Carolyn,
My parents gave me a rocker just like that for my 19th birthday. I know! A strange gift for a 19-year old but that's what I asked for. Not sure what I was thinking! Lol How cool was I?! haha
After my dad passed away, I gifted the rocker to my niece when she was expecting her first daughter as a remembrance of my dad. I love looking at your new treasure! It brings back memories of my father.
You don't have much snow by the looks of it. We, on the other hand, are expecting up to 90 cm and 110 km/hr winds in the next 24 hours! Help!!! If you don't hear from me again soon, please come dig us out!!! Lol

It amazes me how you quickly throw props together and it all is so perfect. And then perfectly photographed, too..........Carolyn, you posess such talent, my friend.
You have such flair and such a knack.
Loved your photo shoot Carolyn. They all look so inviting.
You find the best bargains, I know I would never find a special rocker for that price in my part of the world.
Sorry, I couldn't find the meaning of the expression "off my rocker"; I'd be grateful if anyone would explain me.
Dear Carolyn, your pics,your purchases, your choices, your props are always perfect. That's why your blog is my favourite. It makes me dream!
Love.

Dear Carolyn,
You would have been off your rocker not to buy that sweet old thing for $10. It is wonderful and I love the way you paired it with reds.
Little ole rocker went to the perfect home.

I love these beautiful pictures. The pine, plaid, red, and chair spell country cozy!!!
Great photo shoot, so beautifully set out. I would love to sit in your rocker snuggled up in the plaid rug drinking hot chocolate, or maybe a cup of tea in one of your beautiful china cups, 'without milk please'
Another beautiful Winter vignette. I so love the reds in winter.
Hugs,
Debbie
I love that throw Carolyn! Looks cozy! Thank you for joining Home Sweet Home!
