Hello everyone,

We have closed up our little cottage
for the summer and settled in at
home once again.

Summer reading days at the cottage
are gone until it is cottage season
once again.



The last week at the cottage we finally
finished the front of the bunkie.
We put in a bigger window on
the front and shingled the front
as well. It was so nice to get it
done.



The back room of the bunkie.





I enjoyed watching the sunrise
and the sunsets at Ocean Song.




However, I am now looking forward to
snuggling in at home and I have to
confess I am already looking forward
to Christmas /winter decorating.


One last tea time at Ocean Song
with my green and white
transferware tea set.

We finished our library project
and have moved on to our small
porch/entryway makeover. I will
share photos soon.

Thank you for visiting !

Take care,

Carolyn

Beautiful Autumn Days





Hello everyone,
 
I hope you are enjoying a beautiful
weekend.

We were able to do some outdoor painting
 today.....just freshening up the white
trim on our little Boathouse. It  will soon
be too cold for painting outdoors so we were
happy to get it done.

The autumn tea above is a fireside
tea. The nights are cooler so a
little heat from our stove
keeps us cosy.
The chintz tea set has pretty
autumn colors.


Our garden has taken on it's autumn
colors.



A bend in the road.


I enjoyed a couple of autumn drives this
week with my sister and a friend.
It was a beautiful day both times
and we enjoyed all the
beauty of autumn.


The virginia creeper is putting
on a great show this year.....some
years by this time we have had a
heavy frost that would have left
it bare by now. The garden will
soon have to be put to bed for the
winter but for now I am still enjoying
the faded beauty of it all.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

A Sunny Day Autumn Tea in the Terrace



 

                                                                                   Hello  everyone,


                                                                        We have enjoyed beautiful calm sunny

                                                                    days here lately so it is lovely to enjoy the

                                                                    beauty of the early fall garden from the shade

                                                                    of the terrace.

                                                                     

  



                                                                         Our terrace is shaded by Virginia creeper

                                                                       and a grape vine.

                                                                       The hydrangeas are still so pretty

                                                                      in the garden and they make beautiful

                                                                     bouquets as well.

 


 


  

                                                                 I love these soft brown and white vintage

                                                                soup bowls.







 

                                                             I would like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving

                                                             weekend to all my Canadian friends as we

                                                            enjoy all the blessings of the harvest season.

                                                                             Thank you for visiting,  

                                                                                             Carolyn

Autumn Days




Hello everyone,

We are enjoying beautiful autumn days
here on  Prince Edward Island.

I always cling to summer as long as
I can and then autumn arrives and
I find myself loving the cooler days
with beautiful autumn light.

Today, I am sharing some autumn
shots from previous years.













A beautiful fall arrangement


It is a great time to relax by our pond.



Autumn on our screened porch.


A touch of autumn in our library.

I haven't posted for awhile as we
were busy giving this room a
makeover. 



Apple cider in the garden anyone?


An Autumn picnic .



I hope you are enjoying the season too.

Thank you for visiting me today.

Take care,

Carolyn
