Happy New Year!

                                                                

Happy New Year!

I would like to wish you all a 

wonderful New Year and hope

you will be richly blessed in 

2024!

We had snow a few days ago so it was time

to go for a winter drive to enjoy the

beauty .

I took along a few fixings for a winter picnic.

Love these pretty plaids against the

background of snow and a

beautiful view.

I am happy to be back blogging and

plan to post on a semi regular basis.

You can also follow me on IG with

the same name as my blog.

The sun just came out here so it is

time for my walk and then a cup of

hot cocoa.

Thank you to all of you who pop in for a visit.

Blessings,

Carolyn

Picnic Days in all Seasons

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a lovely weekend.

It was a bitter cold one here...colder

than it has been in many years.

Although I like winter I am happy

that it has warmed up.

Thank you Laura for the suggestion that

I do a picnic theme for a post.

I went through my old pictures to
collect some for this post....
hope you enjoy it!

Winter picnics with a thermos of hot cocoa and

a sweet treat are fun if you are dressed warm.

I have collected some old vintage picnic

baskets at thrift shops over the years.

This one got a coat of green paint.

I think this one is from my early years

of blogging. The mock orange in the

background was in full bloom and

has the most beautiful fragrance.

Thank you for visiting me today.

Take care,

    Carolyn

                                                               

Winter Car Boot Picnic

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

It was a lovely one here with fresh

snow and some sunshine.

I wanted to do a winter picnic photo shoot

for you so I gathered up my favorite

winter plaid picnic stuff and off we

went.

We found a beautiful scenic road.

Now, we don't have a pretty truck or even

a pretty car but I did my best to

capture some winter beauty.

Some gingerbread cakes and hot tea

were just the thing for a winter picnic.

Well, that was fun and I have a few other

photos hoots I would like to do soon so

I will be back and I hope you will be too!

Take care, 

Carolyn

Summer Time Blues

Hello everyone,

It is pouring rain here today

so I am staying snug inside

and enjoying some summer

time blues from the past.

summer is the perfect time to

enjoy refreshments outdoors.....

just not today in all this rain.

 

A summer picnic with a blue theme

The rose hedge is in full bloom now

and will have a second bloom in late August.

After a game of croquet you

can relax in our vintage chaise.

Blue linens with blue and white

china look pretty with the

blue nepeta in the background.

Pretty blue sky.

Tea and scones anyone?

Garlic chives

Summer blues

We have had more rain than usual here

this past month which is good for the

gardens etc. but I am looking forward

to some sunny days after this to enjoy

being outdoors again in the garden.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

Picnic by the Sea

Hello everyone,

We have been enjoying beautiful sunny days

here so it is perfect picnic weather and there

are so many beautiful places to go on the Island

with a picnic basket.

I used my enamelware for my picnic.

This is the Blockhouse lighthouse that you

can see in the background of my

summer picnic at Fort Amhearst.

It is strawberry season here so I am

enjoying strawberry shortcake.

I love watching the sailboats going by from the Charlottetown harbor

as we enjoy our picnic.

                                                            I hope you have time to enjoy a lovely summer picnic
                                                            soon. It hard to believe that July is almost over.

                                                             If you would like to see my first romantic picnic by
                                                             the sea you can see it here.

                                                                          Thank you for visiting ,
