Inside the Boathouse




       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!

                                                                                         Carolyn

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.
