I love tea too, out here in California I have yearly (at least) tea parties at my home with my closest friends. I collect cream colored teapots. I was able to go to Victoria, BC and have tea at the Empress Hotel! I'll be back to visit your site :)Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445673462433810009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-73394197875603478382010-11-04T15:26:29.011-03:002010-11-04T15:26:29.011-03:00Oh Carolyn I think I could spend hours all comfy c...Oh Carolyn I think I could spend hours all comfy cozy on the chaise looking out the window sipping tea!<br /><br />This is my first time over wintering my geraniums in the house.....do you have any secrets to success?<br /><br />Smiles, DollyMrs. Cherry Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11941746630756766629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-54073543167475185992010-11-01T04:47:30.553-03:002010-11-01T04:47:30.553-03:00So inviting and tempting.

Such a lovely, lovely space! I used to love decorating the big house my family grew up in for Christmas. Now that we have a smaller home and tons of family over I tend to keep things very simple. But I look forward to seeing what you do with your beautiful rooms.

It looks so peaceful.<br /><br />Like you I have tried to hold on to summer as long as possible. I still have some Zinnia's and Cosmea's from our garden in a vase on the mantelpiece to remind me. I haven't done much fall decorating either, but I bought my first Christmas balls and angels :-)!<br /><br />Have you received the JDL magazine yet? I hope it will arrive soon. It's a lovely edition and one of my favourites.<br /><br />Happy day & lieve groet, MadeliefMadeliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906326152435858221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-24675545861596929362010-10-27T10:00:14.765-03:002010-10-27T10:00:14.765-03:00Carolyn, what cozy and beautiful area to have tea,...Carolyn, what cozy and beautiful area to have tea, read or just daydream! ~Hugs, PattiCrystal Rose Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427893770103768637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-87042103027427693202010-10-27T00:14:41.977-03:002010-10-27T00:14:41.977-03:00Your posts are always so welcome and inviting... ...Your posts are always so welcome and inviting...

I too pull out my old magazines and read them all over, cover to cover. <br /><br />We start Christmas decorating in the beginning of December at first. But, we don´t take it down ´til after the New Years.<br /><br />Love your nook and the tour of the Island.

Still it's amazing how your bay window with lace valences does resemble our kitchen bay window with the hand crocheted curtains that I made... The same kind of window grids as well.<br />Oh, geraniums are such loyal plants! Yes, you are right of holding on to summer for as long as we can and than, we're head-over-heels pushed into the Christmas season! Time never seems to slow down...<br />Enjoy your tea with that lovely china!
