Hello everyone,
I hope you had a great weekend. We
enjoyed a lovely family evening at
our daughters On Saturday. She has
her home all decorated for Christmas....
maybe,I can take some photos of it
some day soon to share.
However, back here at home we
have changed our family room somewhat
as our old fireplace broke down and could
not be fixed so we bought a new propane
stove to keep us warm. We went with a more
rustic look in here this time as my husband put
cedar plank boards on the wall behind it after
removing the old wall behind the fireplace.
It is still a work in progress as he is adding
a mantle soon and some trim but I am loving
the cozy look as well as the warmth.
I am enjoying my tea by the fireside
today.
I am still waiting for some snow here
but the weather remains above seasonal.
We cut our own spruce tree for
the family room this year and
I think it's imperfections lend
rustic country charm.
Not sure if you noticed the old
antique frame $5 from the Restore
with the antique skates inside.
It was overcast when I took
these shots so my light isn't great.
When we get a sunny day I will
do the whole room.
I am putting up one more tree in our kitchen
today and then I just have some fluffing to do.
After, I bake some cookies I should be ready for
the Christmas House Tour on Saturday finally!
I am sure there are still tickets available if you
check at Fitzroy Centre in Charlottetown.
Last evening we enjoyed the Advent service in a charming
little country church and this evening we are going to the
annual Christmas Open House at Fanningbank .
I love taking in as many Chritmas events as we can but
not so many that we don't have time to enjoy relaxing
by the fireside!
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn

Your photos are lovely, no need to retake. They are warm, cozy and realistic. I enjoy your blog very much. Have a great day!
I like the change a lot. The new stove is beautiful! ENjoy the holidays!
What a cozy fireside tea, Carolyn! I love your beautiful winter white teacup! Your new stove is lovely and if we were planning on staying here awhile, we would invest in a propane stove as well. Nothing cozier than a fire in the wintertime. Enjoy the Christmas Tour on the weekend...Blessings...Sandi
