Dutch Blues

                Hello everyone,

                   We had a bit of a storm overnight last

                              night but not serious enough to cancel work

                           for most people ...... I was kind of looking

                             forward to a cozy storm day but lots of time

                left yet!

                       It was 3 years ago on Monday since my

                     Dutch mama passed away so I thinking

                      of her as I took out her teapot above and

                          remembered all the cups of tea we enjoyed

            together over the years .

        

When I spotted this mug with

a Dutch scene on it I

snatched it up.

     These cross stitch samplers

    where also a thrift find that

remind me of my Mom.

I have a cupboard of blue & white

china that had several Dutch pieces

in it.

             I miss those sweet tea times but

                             I am thankful for all the good memories I

                     have of  time well spent with my mom

                  over a good cup of tea.

                               Thanks for visiting,

                                          Carolyn

Sunday Afternoon Tea

                   Hello everyone,

                          I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

                                             It is a spring like day here with overnight showers

                              so have no snow which is pretty unusual

                        for us here on Prince Edward Island.

  

           So, today I am in the sunroom

 where delicate pinks are

on display.

I took down my winter/ Christmas decor.

So. my Friendly Village china has been

replaced with my delicate pinks once

again.

                                                       Thank you for stopping by
                                                                  and enjoy the rest of your day.

                                                                                   Carolyn

Ocean Song Cottage in Winter

                                                                           Hello everyone,

                                                            On a sunny winter day we enjoy
                                                            taking a drive to our little Ocean
                                                            Song Cottage to relax for awhile
                                                            and enjoy the view.
                                                            We light the woodstove to cozy it
                                                             up and enjoy our tea here.

                                                             

You can see the snow out the

window but also some open

water.

    The sailboat teapot was a recent

thrift shop find

Love finding places to display

my blue & white china .

You probably noticed that we

have a blue & white theme going.

                                                                   A cozy corner for tea and a book.

                                                                       The bed nook

   I love waking up to the view!

                                                             

 

                                                                This was the view on the weekend but
                                                                it is always changing even in winter.

                                                    We still have a few projects that we are
                                                               working on here so I will share those when
                                                               they are completed.
                                                                  If you would like to see our bathroom
                                                                makeover , you can see it here.

                                                                                  Enjoy your day!

An Island Winter Drive

                                                                                    Hello everyone,

                                                                         I hope you had a great weekend.
                                                                       
                                                                         It is pretty here on the Island now
                                                                         with some fresh snow and some
                                                                         sunny breaks so we decided to
                                                                         check out the North Shore.

    Covehead Harbour Lighthouse looks

pretty with the snow.

Taken from a different perpective

                                                        I confess I had no desire to go for a
                                                        dip but in summer it is a beautiful
                                                        place to enjoy a swim.

                                                                        This red fox had no trouble
                                                                         posing for me.

Cows enjoying a winter day.

I always love this farm in winter

or summer.

                 Dalvey by the Sea is only open for guests in

                    summer but it is beautiful in the winter as well.

            Some of you probably remember this hotel

      from the movie Anne of Green Gables.

          Hope you enjoyed a short winter drive

with me.

Take care,

Carolyn

All the Pretty Little Teacups

       Hello everyone!

    I can't believe the week has

   slipped by already.

Maybe, I have been having

too much fun playing with

my camera!

I decided to tidy up my teacup

collection.......well one cupboard

full anyway and thought you

might like to see some photos

of them. I think a lot of us are

teacup collectors.

Anyway, I have a lot of pretty teacups

but today's collection is mostly

in shades of pink.

The exception to my pink

theme of the day.

Dainty rosebuds

Hope you enjoyed seeing some of

my pretty little teacups.

Someday, soon I will organize all

my teapots and share those with

you as well.

       Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
