Lighthouses of Prince Edward Island

Welcome!

Prince Edward Island is home to over 50 lighthouses

and I enjoy photography them on our travels

around the Island in either winter or summer.

     So, I am hoping you share my love for old lighthouses.

The one above is in Covehead on the north shore.

This one is in Brighton, Charlottetown.

I took this one a few weeks ago after

a fresh snowfall.

Although this one in Summerside overlooking the

harbor it is not a real lighthouse but I love the colors.

                                                               The Point Prim lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse
                                                               on Prince Edward Island and the only round one on
                                                               the Island.

These next two are at Fort Amhearst overlooking

the Charlottetown harbor.

     The Panmure Island Lighthouse has a

             nice gift shop where I bought some coastal

decor a couple of years ago.

The French River lighthouse overlooks

a nice sandy beach that we enjoy.

I hope you have a good week!

Comfort Food for Lunch with Transferware

           Happy Weekend!

             I have been trying to eat healthier lately

                   and with three of our children are on vegan

              diets they are making me focus more on

           what we are eating.

           I am not planning on going vegan but just

             adding more veggies and beans and no

      red meat to see how that works for us.

So,for lunch today it is one of my

favorite soups ~ cream of carrot using

almond milk.

I love these old brown and cream

     soup bowls as well as the really old

transferware soup tureen.

Soup and apricot nectar.

I made Golden Party Loaves that have

grated carrots,apricot nectar and yogurt

in it, making a nice moist healthy loaf.

A large teapot full of tea to

linger over lunch.

In case you are wondering where I keep these

transferware dishes this is the main cupboard

full.

    This old cupboard got painted last winter

with a grey/brown mistint. It was cream

before that but I prefer this color on it.

                   Grab a cup of tea

    And since I do have a sweet tooth I

        like to have something sweeter to end

           the meal. Coconut yogurt,strawberries

and granola hit the spot!

                     We have a basketball game to go to

                 shortly as our grandsons team is

                    in the semi finals. Tonight we go

                        to another grandson's hockey game.

                          It doesn't seem long since it was our

                         children's games we were going to....

                            so how did that happen so quickly????

                              Anyway, I hope you have a fun weekend!

Pretty Pinks

 Hello everyone,

I hope your week is going well.

 I am starting to think it is time to

      begin some spring cleaning projects

      around here as the weather has been

       mild and there will be lots of garden

       chores to do when spring really hits.

                   Lately, I have been enjoying my camera 

           and it seems my teacups have been my

best subject .

                                               I hope you enjoy pretty teacups as
                                                          much as I do!

                                                                  Thank you for visiting,

Blue & White Transferware Tea

Hello everyone,

I think some of you know that I have

a' thing 'for transferware of any

color but  blue and white is definitely 

one of my favorites..

I love this platter.

                                                                          Tea and homemade biscuits
                                                                          is always a favorite for afternoon
                                                                          tea time.

This is another teapot that my husband

gave me a number of years ago.

Although this soup tureen was not

part of my tea I was sure you

would want to see it! Ha!Ha!

Today was Islander Day so my husband

  and I decided to go to the cottage(above)

for the afternoon.

It was a bright sunny day so it doesn't

take long to warm it up with a fire

in the wood stove.

We enjoyed our tea time there today.

     I have to say I am starting to look forward

   to spending more time there when spring

arrives.

I hope you enjoyed your visit!

Take care,

Carolyn

Strawberries & Cream

   Good Morning!

We are having beautiful weather here with

a touch of spring in the air.

I noticed there were more birds singing

in the garden and some heat in the sun

when I went for my walk.

I think spring is in the air!

          After, my walk I made some pancakes

         with strawberries and whipped cream.

        After, eating more than I should have

I saved the last one for you!

A glass of apricot nectar and

a cup of tea along with

my pancakes and I was good

to go! 

   Pretty china makes it taste even better!

A little bowl of fresh strawberries

to enjoy.

A cup of ginger peach tea

                                                         I hope your day is off to a good start.

                                                                             Thank you for visiting!
