Christmas in the Dining Room

Hello everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

There are lots of fun things going on now on

the Island. A friend and I really enjoyed  seeing

all the Christmas trees showing all the trends over

past generations at the Lefurgey  Centre in

Summerside.

Also, the Victorian Christmas was very enjoyable as

well at Beaconsfield in Charlottetown and it is still

on if you are in the area and would like to check it out.

I put up the last of our Christmas trees this

week so our dining room is set for the season.

My son gave me this table and chair set as

he no longer had room for it so I am

happy to have a little change.

I have the table set with some of

my Friendly Village collection

which always looks pretty at Christmas.

The centerpiece with my sheep....

also gifted to me a few years ago.

We finally got a bit of snow again so I

went out for a walk this morning to

take a few pics. I always love to get

photos of snow with open water in

the pond.

Thank you for visiting me,

Carolyn

Coastal Tablescape

Hello everyone,

We are having beautiful summer

weather here.....it changed so

quickly from cold to hot this

year.

So we have been enjoying some

time at the cottage lately.

I got these pretty dishes at Ikea a

few months ago and I love their

coastal flare with tiny sailboats

on them and the blue and creamy

white was perfect for our cottage.

A starfish adds a coastal look

as well. When we walk on the

beach here we often see little

starfish at low tide.

        Our table set for two.....the teaset

            was a lucky find at the 70 mile yard

sale a few years ago.

I enjoy the view as we have

our meals.

                                                      Thank you for stopping by and
                                                                  I hope you have a wonderful
                                                                  weekend!

                                                                                      Take care,

                                                                                             Carolyn

Merry Christmas from our House to Yours !

      Merry Christmas!

Once again December has passed by

quickly and now it is Christmas Eve.

 Since we have a big family it

    is always good to have as much

       preparation for Christmas dinner

         done before Christmas day arrives.

            So, one of things I like to have done

              is to have our tables moved and chairs

            brought up from the basement for all

     so we have seating for all of us!

Our dining area tree.

 

                                                                             
                                                                  I used my red and white transferware
                                                                again this year....it is my biggest collection.

                                                                    We use two rooms.

I keep it simple as no one

wants to spend hours on

cleanup.

There is some stormy weather

headed our way so hopefully

it holds off until late in the

day so travel is good.

                                            I hope you have a wonderful Christmas
                                                       and many blessings in the New Year!
                                                       Thank you to all who visited me this year
                                                        and thanks to all who leave nice comments
                                                        all year.

                                                                            Love,
                                                                                 Carolyn

A Friendly Village Christmas

                                                                             Hello everyone,

                                                           On this cold wintry day it is nice
                                                           to be cozy indoors.
                                                             I have set the table with some
                                                           of my Friendly Village china today
                                                           from Johnson Brothers. It is always
                                                           pretty but especially at Christmas.

I used silver chargers along with

silver stars etc.

               

                                                                      It is a good day to enjoy
                                                                      tea by the fireside.

                                                                    I made some gingerbread cookis
                                                                     to go with our tea.

                                                                Friendly Village teacups and a
                                                                small Friendly Village teapot.

                                                                A Christmas arrangement with fresh
                                                                 greens adds a cozy look .

                                                                    So nice to have a little time to
                                                                    relax during this busy season.

                                                        I hope you all have a wonderful
                                                                   weekend !

                                                                                     Take care,

                                                                                            Carolyn

Red & White Christmas Tablescape

            Hello everyone,

   I am back again and this time it is

        Christmas in the kitchen/dining room,

              along with my red & white transferware.

 

                                                                        A red and white transferware tablescape
                                                                        is set  for dinner.

I have a lot of my red and white

transferware on display all year

in the dining area of our kitchen.

Yard sale and thrifty cupboards

display my transferware.

                                                                             The Christmas tree in the bay
                                                                             window again this year.

My transferware is a mix of

old and new as well as patterns.

We had the two cupboards built in

about 12 years ago and they are

perfect for storing and displaying

my red and white transferware.

                                                 I confess I love all transferware so
                                                            I have smaller collections of other
                                                            colors as well but that is another day!

                                                                  Do you collect transferware too?

                                                                           Thank you for visiting!
