Happy Monday,
I hope you had a great weekend. We have
been enjoying some down time here......
beach days or touring around the Island.
A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to
a friends summer cottage for the day.
It was an annual quilters/needlework
potluck lunch day.
I loved seeing this group of friends
gathered round the living room with
great views of the beach through the
windows.
So relaxing to be able to sit and
enjoy your favorite hobby.
Isn't the quilt beautiful? It would
take me a lifetime and then some
to do all the tiny stitches in this!
Since it was my first time to
visit this beautiful cottage,
I had a little tour and was allowed
to take photos (my hobby) to share.
The curtains and bed skirt were made
by Margaret the owner of this charming
cottage.
A beautiful guest room with door frames
for headboards and more of Margaret's
handwork.
And look at that red and white
transferware chamber set!
I fell in love with this beautiful
crochet lace dress.
Another beautiful guest room.
of china all beautifully displayed.
I knew I was going to love this
cottage when these beautiful dishes
were there to greet us on the porch!
Margaret goes to local auctions and
gets some amazing treasures like this
side board that she painted white and
had glass installed in the bottom doors
to display more china.
Everywhere I looked there was something
to enjoy!
Love this china set!
A beautiful display of teapots.
More pretty china.
Not only are these ladies great
quilters but they are great cooks too!
the amazing view for awhile. Did you
notice the Confederation Bridge in the
photo above ~ it links our little Island
to New Brunswick.
Well, it was a day to remember for
sure......just my cup of tea!
Thank you for your visit!

What a beautiful cottage! I would want to live there all the time (well, maybe not when it was cold and snowy!). I loved seeing all the china. As a quilter, I can truly appreciate all that goes into making that gorgeous quilt.
I just loved every nch of the lovely cottage. All the beautiful china was capturing my heart as well. The lovely guest rooms the cabinet and all those pretty teapots. I would love to learn to quilt and join a group. Looks like a most wondeful time. Thank you for sharing your visit. Happy Monday. Have a wonderful new week. With love Janice

Thank you for the tour in the lovely cottage, the guest rooms so very tasteful just beautiful and then all that china, love it, with the blue teapot and sugarbowl on the porch as favorites.

I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet cottage tour! Thank your friend for letting you share it with us! How wonderful to have such a place to go and be with friends, and partake of tea and goodies, quilting, needlepoint and comradeship. I'm so envious! to see the sea outside of the windows... oh pure joy. Everything she has done with the cottage is heavenly.. love the pastels and all the white and quilts and needle work. I'll have to go browse again! Your photos are beautiful of all of her china.. it is all unusual and unique and so wonderful. What a wonderful day it must have been, and hope you get to do it again soon! Hugs from Oregon.

Hello Carolyn, Your home is so lovely! I don't know if you remember me and my blog, but I have been following you for years now. I am going to be on Prince Edward Island on Tuesday, August 16th with my mother and two sisters. I am wondering if you offer tours of your gardens. If you do, it would be a joy to see them. Thank you - Patti
What a beautiful cottage -- that embroidery was astoundingly skilled and artistic. And the china displays were a feast for the eyes. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely weekend with us! -Beth
How lovely is this! So many gorgeous things to attract the eye...
You look as though you had a wonderful time among kindred spirits!
Wishing you a beautiful day,
