An Autumn Table

          I am finally getting into autumn mode

         here but at the same time my mind is

          quickly wandering ahead to Christmas.

However, I am trying to hold

back and savor the moment.

                                                                              I love baby boo pumpkins
                                                                              for the autumn table.

The antique lantern works well

for my autumn table also.

       

                                I have had these dishes for a number of years

                                              now and I have several pieces of it. The only marking

                                                on them is Japan. I think they are  perfect for an autumn

table......don't you?

     

                                                                               

                  Warm and cozy colors of autumn.

Or maybe you prefer this teacup

for your autumn tea.

                                                                   

     I hope your week is going well

    and thank you for visiting me!

An Island Autumn

   With all the beautiful sunny warm days we

have enjoyed this autumn it was nice to

get out for some walks with my camera

in hand. 

There are beautiful trials to walk at Fort

Amherst so my daughter and I enjoyed

a nice long walk there one beautiful day

last week.

I think the autumn colors were at their

peak here on Prince Edward Island last week.

                                                                    Fort Amherst trail ~ Prince Edward Island.

                                                                      This shot was taken just up the
                                                                      road from our home.

                                                                 The opposite side of the road.
                                                                            You can see we live in farm country.

                                        One foggy morning last week ~ again taken a short

distance from our home.

                                                                        The golden glow of autumn.

I hope you are enjoying beautiful days

too!

Thank you for your visit!

Red and White Transferware Tea and the Autumn Garden

                   It has been awhile since I was able

                   to post here but thanks to my son I

                         have got my computer blog problems 

                             fixed and so here I am again. I hope you

         haven't all given up on me!

                                   So, now that summer is over we are back

                               to enjoying our tea in the kitchen with

                                      the stove going to keep us warm and snug.

                                     We have had an amazing fall so far with 

                                                warmer temperatures and beautiful fall foliage 

                                  but there is a chill in the air here today.

                I love this old teapot from an antique

       shop in Maine that was made in

Japan.

There is a comfy seat for each

of us. 

        I made some fresh raisin scones

for tea today. The recipe can be

found here . I just used

unbleached flour here and

raisins.

I added a new soup tureen

to my red and white transferware

collection ~ this one is a lot smaller

than my other one.

  

                                                                          Let go out to the garden and
                                                                          check out the last of the fall
                                                                          color in the garden.

                                                                          A frosty morn around our pond.

I enjoy the late season color of

      aconitum carmichaeli in the garden

and the bees love it too. 

     We are still working on our fall garden

 cleanup and it will be nice to have it

           done so the garden will be ready for winter.

          It will soon be time for us to snuggle in for

the winter too!

Thank you for visiting me,

Carolyn
