Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Well,another year over and a new one

just beginning.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

I am just sharing some winter photos from

the past here today.

The lighthouse in  Covehead with

a nice coating of snow.

We did manage to have  white Christmas here

this year and it was lovely. However, it rained

yesterday and melted it all so we are back

to green again. I almost expect to see my

daffodils poking up as it feels like

spring but I am sure winter will hit

soon.

                                                                  

Our Gardener's Cottage in the snow.

                                                               

I have to admit I do love some snow in

winter.

                                                        On the porch

I do enjoy a good cup of

tea especially in winter

after a nice walk.

I wish you all good health and happiness

Christmas Blessings!

Christmas Blessings,

I am just popping in to wish you all

 joy and love in the Holy Season as

we celebrate the birth of Jesus.

The tables are set for Christmas and I

am so happy that we can have all

of our family for Christmas dinner

this year since covid restrictions are

long gone.

A pretty street in downtown Charlottetown.

I have enjoyed my Christmas teas

I am going with a very simple Christmas

table again this year.

We have  three tables set up as we have 23

children and grandchildren joining us

for our family Christmas dinner.

The above shot was taken in our garden

a couple of weeks ago when we

actually had some snow. 

After rain and winds last

night we are back to green,

however, snow flurries are

predicted for tomorrow.

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas

&

Christmas blessings to you all.

Love,

Carolyn

Winter Solstice

Hello everyone,

Happy winter solstice to you.

Today is the official first day

of winter but it has been unusually

mild here so what little snow we

had has all melted.

I am happy to hear that there are

snow flurries predicted for Christmas

day though.....so maybe a bit of

a white Christmas.

A corner in our bedroom by the fire.

A cozy place to read a book

and enjoy a cup of tea.

                                                          

                                                     

Our library decked out for Christmas.

It is hard to believe that Christmas is

almost here. I hope you have been

enjoying the season thus far.

I will pop in again at least once more

before Christmas.

Thank you for visiting,

 Carolyn

Winter White In our Little Boathouse

Hello everyone,

We have a dusting of snow here now

but more snow is on the way for

tomorrow.

  

I styled our little Boathouse nook for winter

a couple of days ago.

Over the past few years it has had a

number of different looks but white

is definitely one of my favorites

A warm cozy throw on the nook bed

with pretty white pillows and

some greenery make it a

magical little nook.

                                                          natural pine cones

I used a white wreath that my daughter

gave me.

                                                   After getting it all set up I enjoyed

                                                   a mug of hot chocolate and a sweet treat.

The above photo of our little Boathouse ,that

my husband and son built about 10 years ago,

was taken on a snowy winter day shortly

after it was built. Not sure if it will look

like this any time soon but who knows what

the winter has in store for us this year.

Christmas in the Dining Room

Hello everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

There are lots of fun things going on now on

the Island. A friend and I really enjoyed  seeing

all the Christmas trees showing all the trends over

past generations at the Lefurgey  Centre in

Summerside.

Also, the Victorian Christmas was very enjoyable as

well at Beaconsfield in Charlottetown and it is still

on if you are in the area and would like to check it out.

I put up the last of our Christmas trees this

week so our dining room is set for the season.

My son gave me this table and chair set as

he no longer had room for it so I am

happy to have a little change.

I have the table set with some of

my Friendly Village collection

which always looks pretty at Christmas.

The centerpiece with my sheep....

also gifted to me a few years ago.

We finally got a bit of snow again so I

went out for a walk this morning to

take a few pics. I always love to get

photos of snow with open water in

the pond.

Thank you for visiting me,

Carolyn
