Hello everyone,
Hope your week is going well.
In my previous post I shared
a picnic on the Boathouse porch.
But, shortly after it clouded over
so I moved my little picnic inside.
This little nook is one of
my favorite spots to curl up
and relax.
Cupcakes for tea.
A pretty bouquet of lilacs
in a vintage vase.
My daughters gave me the soft throw
and a couple of the big pillows.
The Relax you 're on Island Time
pillow was from a small local shop
that has since closed down.....I
have had a few inquiries about it.
The sailboats came from Wicker Emporium
a few years ago.
So, peaceful! Today for the first
time we had a mama duck and at
least a dozen tiny ducklings up
near our house when we came home.
Alas, in spite of running into the house
at breakneck speed for my camera they
has hustled down to the woods before I
get a photo of them. There is a brook
in the woods where they must have been
going. Hopefully, I will get another chance
as they where so cute!
This nook is the perfect spot to watch
the ducks and geese on the pond.
Back to our picnic.
I hope you enjoyed a casual picnic in
our Boathouse.
Thank you for joining me today and
I hope you have a great weekend!

I so love this boathouse and how you decorate it. The soft aquas and blues and white are perfect. I also love the pillows and throw. Summer is finally here and hopefully we'll enjoy some very lovely warm sunny days over the next couple months. Happy Summer days to you Carolyn.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carolyn , just had a biscuit fresh from the oven.
