More Transferware




Hello everyone,

I am back with a few pics of some of my
transferware on this snowy afternoon.




This large platter came from an
antique shop in Quebec City.



This lovely brown and white  antique platter
was a recent find at Coulson's in Summerside.






This collection of pretty blue and
white china came home with me
from the cottage.



I hope you are doing well.....can you
believe we are half way through January?
We have had more rain than snow so far
this month.

Take care,
     Carolyn

                                                             Hello everyone,


                                           I am finally back with a few new pics....
                                           if in fact anyone is still checking in!   


We are doing our final Christmas
preparations here as we prepare
to host our Christmas dinner.


                                                  I took a these pics this morning
                                                  as the snow is falling here. It looks
                                                  like we will have a white Christmas.


Some homey wool mitts to
keep hands warm.


These teal green teacups remind
me of Christmas.

 

                             I hope you are enjoying this Christmas season.

                                                          Merry Christmas!

Garden Bouquets




Hello everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying these early days 
of spring. I am happy to see life in the garden
again as I do my daily rounds to see the what
has poked up overnight. I am amazed at how
quickly the snow left and daffodils,tulips and 
some perennials are growing. Also, our pond
is rapidly opening up and our pair of Canada
 Geese have returned. So much to look forward
too!
I am sharing some garden bouquets to brighten
your day.

Therese Bugnet hardy roses



Who doesn't love a bouquet of roses even
if they are not from the garden.

Lilacs and tulips

soon it will be time for our lilacs
to bloom here again.


Lilacs and lupins make a pretty combo.
                                                                   

                                                     Peonies are an all time favorite.


Sunshine and daffodils


Lilacs and transferware

Wishing you all a happy spring!

Take care,

Random Garden Shots




Hello everyone,

I am finally back again to share some past 
beauty in the garden.
Spring is just around the corner so I have 
been enjoying looking over the years of
some garden shots.


                                                         Going green here.



                                                              Breakfast in the terrace

                                                        A bit of shabby chic in the terrace







                                                       Just a bit of random shots that I took
                                                       in our garden over the years.
                                                         Right now we still have some snow but
                                                       I think it will be gone in the next few days,
                                                       so good things will be happening soon!

                                                                  Hope you are doing well and 
                                                                  Thank you for stopping by.

                                                                                       Take care,
                                                                                            Carolyn

Winter White




Hello everyone,

How are you? I know it has been a very
long time since I posted here so I
thought I would check in to let you
know I am still here.


,

I am doing a winter white theme here
today as it is a cold but sunny day here
with a good cover of sparkling white snow.




I am enjoying staying indoors by the fire today but
decided to look through my old photos for awhile.


The Boathouse in winter whites.


                                                              Drinking lots of tea today




I hope your winter is going well and 
take good care of your selves!

Thank you for stopping in !

Red Roses Tea




Hello everyone,

I hope you are having a great summer.
We have had a beautiful summer here
on the Island.


I decided to enjoy a little summer
tea on the porch today with a 
bouquet of some of my red roses
from a large pot on the balcony.


A mix of red and white transferware with
a pretty handmade checked tablecloth
along with the red roses was perfect
for my tea time. I love that I could
admire the garden while enjoying my tea
and scones.


The antique tea pot was a thrift find. 


I know it has been a long time since I
posted here even though I have been
taking photos.....you can check some
out on my Instagram by the same name
as my blog if you like.


I hope you enjoyed my summer tea
on the porch.

Enjoy the rest of your summer....it
is going by so quickly.

Thank you for stopping by!
Take care,
  Carolyn
