Hello everyone,
It was a beautiful winter day here so after
taking down the rest of the Christmas decor
(which makes me a little sad) I went outdoors
to enjoy the beauty in the garden.
So I decided to do a little
photo shoot for you.
A mix of plaids/tartans
makes a cheerful scene.
finds......perfect for a
winter picnic.
Vintage skates
Well, that was my winter fun forthe day!
When, I asked my husband how many
people he knew would think it was fun
to haul a bunch of stuff outside and
take photos of it with cold bare hands
then download and edit them to post.
..........his reply " I am not going there!"
I take that to mean not a lot! Ha! Ha!
Oh! guess I better go out and haul it
all back in again!
Hope you enjoy!
Carolyn
You tell him we think it is AWESOME and we REALLY appreciate it - such a perfect spot, everything is inviting and seasonally incredible.
ReplyDeleteWell done, my friend, well done, indeed. TY for the pretties today!!!!
That was like a special "gift". An icy cold special gift! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteLiebe Carolyn, hier lässt der Winter auf sich warten...Bei Dir kann ihn auch ich in vollen Zügen genießen...Toll! Alles Liebe von Susan
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Carolyn. Well worth the time and effort.
ReplyDeleteThe plaid is so colourful against the white snow. Happy New Year!

Your photo shoot is beautiful! Love all the plaids. You must have been saving them up for a while--there are so many. Just beautiful! Love your blog... Happy New Year to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Carolyn! Oh, what a beautiful spot you've created! I had to giggle at your hubby's response. Only a dedicated blogger would do this and you did it up beautifully! Thank you for popping in to see me and your kind words for my little Carter and me! Here's to another year of blogging with you.

Thank you for going outside to take these photos and setting it all up. Love the red colors against the snow.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Carolyn. Thank you for all of your effort to give us this lovely eye candy. It is so warm here down under the sight of the snow made me feel cooler:-)
ReplyDeleteLove all the tartan, snow and the wonderful vintage skates!

You deserve a nice big hot cup of tea for all your effort that we appreciate so much. Wonderful winter scene and there's nothing like plaid to make everything look cozy (even in the snow)!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely!! Looks just like a beautiful Christmas card!! You have a good bit of snow there - we have barely any!
ReplyDeleteThank you to bother to haul the stuff outside for your photos and to share your winter garden. Very inspiring indeed. A snowy garden has something of magic. Helene
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure that your husband is secretly proud of your beautiful blog and the work that goes into making it so stunning! If he gets tired of helping you ask me!! ask me!!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, lovely scenes... I can't think of anything more fun than being out in the snow - and combining it with those heavenly plaids. Thank you for the comforting images!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Carolyn! You do have a lot of energy to bring all of your pretty red and tartan things out into the snow for a shoot! I had to laugh at your hubby's answer!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your Sunday tea post too. Winter whites are so pretty and soothing. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day.
Blessings,
Sandi
Happy New Year from la mia casa.
ReplyDeletePhotos are beautiful. Looks like you have more snow in Canada than we have in southern Finland. Wish you Happy New Year 2016!
ReplyDeleteLooks so charming!!! I love all things plaid!! Such a postcard scene!! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I adore all the beautiful pictures on your blog :-)
ReplyDeleteLove from Berit, Norway
Even with all the snow, this post warmed my heart Carolyn. So beautiful! What a bright setting you have created here. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou always post the loveliest things!
This is a lovely post Carolyn. I, for one, appreciate your efforts for doing this in winter's cold. It looks beautiful. Of course, it's much colder today than it has been so I hope you are inside where it's warm.
ReplyDeleteI once hauled out a dress form in to the snow put angel wings on her and took pics so so much fun
ReplyDeleteYour NOT the only one
lovely pics ......brr 24 here on cape cod
Thank you for your efforts...it was VERY much appreciated here :) LOVELY!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! The contrast of the red plaids against the beautiful, crisp snow is so lovely -- thanks for creating it and sharing it with us. Best, -Beth
ReplyDeleteLove the tartan look, but then again as a Scot that's probably why! The red just pops in the snow. Hope you weren't too cold!
