Cottage Living

Hello everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

We are settling into our cottage routine

here and we have had lots of lovely

sunny days since we moved in.

Our cottage living space

We have a blue and white theme

at the cottage and I enjoy

this tray on the table.

We enjoy walking to the park nearby

We walk by this field of cows on

our way to the park. It is farm country

here.

They have a field with a view!

We enjoy the lighthouses

Blockhouse lighthouse

                                                                     

Love having our laundry out on the line

to dry in the ocean breezes

Reading and watching the sailboats....

a good way to relax

I love waking up to this view in

the morning.

Now in case you think we have gotten

lazy , we do go home and work in the

garden several hours a week with

our friend Barbara who is enjoying

our home.

There will be more info on our

garden tea in a couple of days

so please stay tuned!

Thanks for visiting.

Carolyn

Coming soon.....!

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well.

There is lots going on here this

summer but one of the biggest

changes is that a blog friend from

California is living in our house for

the summer. I met Barbara and her

family a couple of times as they came

to tour our garden. It seems Barbara

and I are kindred spirits as we both

love gardening, pretty china,tea times,

and of course Prince Edward Island.

So as we were chatting and working

in the garden yesterday I asked

Barbara if she would like to

host a fundraiser tea with me

and she jumped at the idea.

So, we immediately started

planning menu,flowers,

china etc.

We are planning on a late June garden tea. 

The photos above are from my

Downton Abbey themed tea

a few years ago.

Barbara and I will be happily planning

this over the next week and I will keep

you posted. We have decided on donating

the proceeds to benefit the people of

Ukraine .....a very worthy cause.

I will have more details soon so check

back as there will be a limited number

of spaces available.

I have met so many lovely people

from all over the world

 through both the garden

and my blog.....never

realized that would

happen when I first

started blogging over

fifteen years ago!

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

Spring Around our Pond

Hello everyone,

We have had some beautiful sunny

days here on the Island so nature

is putting on a good show.

I love all the fresh green colors

of the new growth.

It was a beautiful calm sunny evening

so I love the reflection in the pond.

Our little Boathouse is a

sweet little escape .

The serviceberry trees are in full

bloom now.They grow wild around

the pond,ditches etc.

Relax

Watching the ducks

                                                             A little bouquet for you

                                                             to enjoy on this beautiful

                                                             long weekend. 

                                                               I hope you have a lovely

                                                             Victoria Day weekend!

                                                                        Take care,

                                                                             Carolyn               

             Hello everyone,

             I hope you are doing well.

                   Spring is marching right along

                      here so it is now cottage season

                     as well as garden season.

We made a few small changes in

the cottage this year and we

have hosted a family gathering

here on the weekend.

I bought a new rug at Homesense

for the cottage and I love how it

looks in the living area of our

little Ocean Song Cottage.

The tulips and daffodils are out in

full force in our garden now.

So cheerful.

We have had some lovely spring weather

here lately and everything is getting very

green and lush....such a pretty time

of the year!

I am hoping to have a little more

time for photography so I hope

to be back soon.

Take care,

Carolyn
