Winter Beauty



                                                         Welcome to the New Year!

               We had a winter storm here a few days ago and so I am enjoying the beauty of winter here on Prince Edward Island. The photo above is the new 'boathouse' that my husband and son built last fall.It is still a work in progress but definitely in the homestretch. So, this is just a little peek today. We used old doors and windows that we collected over the past few years.I love the rounded windows and the old church door.
                           This is the little veranda on the front.

                              I am ready for a skating party when the weather and ice allow.

                            You can tell it is cold out there now-winter has arrived!
   My husband and I are taking the day off to go to some of our favorite haunts. I love the Christmas season but when it is past I enjoy the quietness of winter for awhile before looking forward to spring. So,while we are out and about if I see anything pretty,I will share it with you! Ha!Ha! ~ you know I can't go anywhere without my camera!!!

Enjoy your day!

Carolyn

  2. Carolyn: Your blog is like a favorite magazine which I never want to miss and issue! I get inspired, drool, sigh over each and every post. Jeanne has left you a poem and this post and your previous post surely deserves this poem from me.

  3. I love those rounded windows too and even your little touches, like the pinecones hanging from ribbons. Have a wonderful day, Carolyn.

  6. I have to admit, I´ve been very curious about the pictures shown at the top of your sidebar for a while ;)

    The boathouse is so very cute! I love every little detail of it. The blue colour on the door is so nice and the windows, I like how they mimic a roof top.

    Have a great day,
    Sanna

  14. Hi Carolyn,
    What lovely, lovely comments on your blog today, as always. I have to agree with every one of your dear readers. Loved the quotes...
    Your men did 'some job' on your boat house m'dear! How satisfying it must that your family shares in helping to make your dreams a reality. You are one lucky woman. Lol
    We all could have gotten together today as we were of like minds...Hubby and I took the day off and spent it also going to some of our favourite haunts: first for a walk in the park to say 'hello' to the swans and ducks, then to the museum to see an exhibit of 'Christmas Past' and to lunch there, then the antiques shop. We finished up at the floral studio where I scored some great deals on trims - liked I needed any more! Lol It was sunny here and the quiet beauty and pace of the day was most welcome. Hope you and Andrew enjoyed your day together as much as we loved ours...XO
    Hugs,
