Our Cottage by the Sea

Hello everyone,

As the weather is warming up here

we are looking forward to relaxing

            at our little Ocean Song Cottage

 by the Sea.

Since our family all live close by

it is a favorite gathering place

in the summer.

We have enjoyed some sunny days

at the cottage all winter.

It is so relaxing!

It is fun to add little coastal

touches here and there.

Our next project is to give the kitchen

area a makeover and then we are

pretty much done of putting

our stamp on our little cottage.

                                                 Are you looking forward to sunny
                                                           summer days too ~ maybe some long
                                                            walks on the beach?

                                                                 I hope you have a wonderful
                                                                  weekend?

                                                                             Carolyn

Summer Garden Teas

Hello everyone,

I hope you didn't give up on me

as my little blog break stretched

out a bit longer then I planned.

This time of year there is always

lots to do as we get our garden

ready for the season and spring

cleaning done inside.

     We are getting some beautiful spring

    weather here so it won't be long until

         we will have lots of color in the garden.

I am looking forward to tea

in the garden once again.

        So, I am sharing some summer teas

from past summers.

       Ah! so romantic

                                                                       Evening light is also
                                                                       very romantic....don't you think?

I love garden bouquets and

pretty linens.

    An afternoon tea by the pond.

Right now our garden is still in the

brown stage but the warm weather we are having

will make a big difference.

Appleblossom time

Cabbage rose tea with transferware.

A sunny summer tea

The Downton Abbey Tea I

hosted a few years ago.

Shades of aqua tea

I am looking forward to hosting

a garden tea for a very worthy cause

in July this year.

I will have more details coming soon

so if you are interested stay tuned!

Thank you for visiting me,

Carolyn
