Winter White

Hello everyone,

I hope your winter is going well.

Can you believe we are already

saying goodbye to January?

So far winter has been kind to

us here on the Island.

  

                                                                          

On a nice sunny winter day is lovely

out in our little sunroom so it is a

perfect place to enjoy a cup of

tea and a book. 

I also enjoy the view out over

the garden even in winter.

       A pretty green and white transferware

cup of tea awaits and you can choose

a book to enjoy!

I am enjoying seeing the days

getting longer and the sun

is getting stronger....spring

before we know it!!!

Thank you for visiting today.

Take care,

Carolyn

Cosy Winter Tea Times

Hello everyone,

I hope your week is going well.

I am back with my cosy winter

tea theme as promised.

My red and white transferware is a favorite.

Blue and white transferware is

also at the top of my list of

favorites.

A little variation with hot cocoa

in a copper mug.

This photo was taken in the Boathouse

nook.

                                                           Tea time treats by the 

                                                            fireside is so cosy!

                                                          

Sugar cookies and tea

Over the holidays I have enjoyed

some sweet treats but now I am

trying to cut back on the sugar

once again for a healthier

life style. 

   

                                                      Well, that is my theme for today.

                                                       I think some garden photos from

                                                       the past will be my next theme in

                                                      a couple of days.

                                                                 Thank you for visiting!

                                                                                   Carolyn

 

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.

Another autumn picnic by a lake.

An early summer picnic by our pond

An aqua themed vintage picnic

A sweet picnic at the park

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

                                                               

Hammock Days

Hello everyone,

I am back today with a hammock theme.

I love winter shots of our hammock

as much as the summer ones.

I am not sure about you.....maybe you

only enjoy summer hammocks.

                                                          A snowy winter day

A touch of red 

An early morning shot with a mist

on the pond.

A vintage quilt to add color to

the hammock.

An early autumn day

A good place to enjoy the beauty

of the garden.

                                      A shady spot to enjoy a book and a cool drink.

Summer days by the sea.

Well, that is all my hammock shots for today.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn
