Happy Fall

Happy Fall !

Well, it is time for me to give up

on summer and move into a fall

mode.....always a little hard for

me to do but there are many

things to enjoy about fall here

as well.

I picked this bouquet from our

cottage garden a couple of

days ago.

It is the calm before the storm

here on Prince Edward Island.

We have been preparing for the

last couple of days for Hurricane

Fiona to hit our part of the world.

 It will be downgraded to a tropical

storm before it hits us but still

expected to have a powerful punch.

I am hoping and praying that it will

not be as bad as predicted. The weather

is so extreme lately that one never

knows what to expect even here on

our peaceful little Island.

We are hunkered in and a pot

  of soup is simmering on the stove

and a couple of batches of 

scones are going in the oven

 shortly.....so we won't go hungry

anyway.

Thank you for your visit!

Chintz Blues by the Sea

Hello everyone,

 We have had beautiful weather here

so I have been enjoying these last

summer days by the sea as

much as possible.

our beach view

I enjoy having my afternoon tea

out on our deck.

I am using my blue chintz tea set

today and blueberry buckle is

a delicious treat.

The tea cup is Queen's and

it is made in England.

I love watching the sailboats go by

our little Ocean Song Cottage.

The weather is cooler here today so

fall is on the way.

The 70 mile coastal yard sale is

this weekend so I am looking

forward to my treasure hunt!

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

Aqua Tea

Hello everyone,

Today was another beautiful day

and I enjoyed lunch with good friends

at a summer cottage. It seems we

have all been busy this summer so

it was nice to catch up.

I apologize to those who have been

following my blog by email and

are no longer getting them to notify

that I have posted.

I know I am not very computer savvy

so I don't know how to correct this....

if any of you have any info to share

on this I would be happy to hear from

you.

Just a simple post today on a pretty new teacup

and placemats on a recent treasure hunt.

Aqua is such a pretty summer color.

A small bouquet of pink hydrangeas from

our garden.

We were saddened to hear of the Queen's

passing yesterday. She certainly set a 

wonderful example for us all.

Thank you for visiting and I hope

you will pop in again soon!

Have a great weekend,

Carolyn

Blue and White Tea for the Ukraine

Hello everyone,

I am finally getting around to posting

some photos of our tea a few weeks

ago.

It was a beautiful day and I think

everyone enjoyed it.

Our theme for this tea was blue and white

and I was able to come up with enough

blue & white linens and china.

My granddaughter volunteered to

help serve and was a great help.

My friend Barbara made the bouquets

with flowers from Island Meadow Farms.

They were so beautiful and the blue

added to our theme.

I have collected vintage blue and

white tablecloths for a number of

years and they looked so pretty

on our tables on the screened porch.

I love these pretty blueberry

tarts on the blue and white

transferware plate.

A table set in the terrace was a perfect

shady place to enjoy tea and the garden.

We had a lovely young harpist

play for us....a nice addition

to our garden tea.

A beautiful bouquet with sunflowers

to remind us of the Ukraine is ready

to greet our tea friends at the gate.

       Thank you to all who supported our tea!

      I can't believe it is already September and

   summer will soon be coming to a close.

     I hope to enjoy as many summer activities

as possible before we move into fall.

Thank you for visiting me !
