Hello everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed a fun weekend. I was excited to finally have a day with good ice and gently falling snowflakes and reasonable winter day temperatures so we could have a little skating party with some of the little ones(our four granddaughters).
Whenever, I saw this victorian sled at BC Antiques in Kensington, I had picture in my mind!
Yesterday, we had good ice but no snow hardly at all so I was happy to get a little snow today for a better background and more wintry appeal. Now,apparently there is a blizzard warning for tonight and tomorrow so we may have lots before it is over.
I think the winter princess costume on Jessica was perfect for the victorian sled.
Taking a twirl around the ice, Olivia stopped to pose for her Grandma.
I made a couple of these little skating skirts for the girls.
Abby and her Mama(our eldest).
Lila getting her skates on.
I made a big pot of hot cocoa and Andrew had a nice fire going in the chiminea.
Grandpa giving a little help with the skates.
Fit for a princess!
You know I love collages.
It is so much fun to go skating in a winter wonderland.
I think Abby was getting cold by this time so time to go in for some treats-right girls!
I had fun -hope you all did too!
Can't wait for the next skating day!!!
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn
I had fun -hope you all did too!
This is the prettiest winter post I have ever seen. Your Granddaughters are so beautiful. Winter is wonderful when there is so much love to share.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, I don't know how you do it... not only are your own surroundings beautiful, but you manage to create absolutely magical experiences for your family! I mean seriously - who but you would have a Victorian-era sled and winter princess costume... I am just in awe of your attention to detail!

Your photography is beautiful, Carolyn. Looks like a magazine spread for "Victoria". Your photos would make lovely Christmas cards!
ReplyDeleteToday, I looked up the words: Talent, Creative, Awesome... in the dictionary. They all had your picture next to 'em, Carolyn! Now, how'd that happen? Lol Thanks for the treat! :-)))))

When I first saw the first photo.... I thought Oh my what a beautiful picture you got from somewhere... Carolyn, you are one amazing women with so much potential of having your own Victorian Magazine. I'm serious your photos are all picture perfect! Those girls are gorgeous and the outfits are out of this world. You should have a book with all your wonderful photos... and I'm sure you would have lots of people out there wanting it... I'll be the first to purchase one that's for sure. Great Inspiration here to get the juices flowing!
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Olá Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteSuas netas são verdadeiras princesas, adoro as bochechas vermelhas do frio, ficam ainda mais lindas!
São bençãos.
Uma boa semana.

ReplyDeleteLooks like you have quite a number of winter princesses where you live. All beautiful and precious. It's easy to see that they don't have to play a part.
