Christmas Blessings!

                                                              

Christmas Blessings to you all!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and

are now enjoying some relaxing family and

friend time.

Above is our library decked out for the season.

I apologize for being late but I just got my desktop

computer fixed.....thanks to my oldest grandson

who works in IT.

So, I just have a few pics to share that I took recently.

The Boathouse Nook

I always love a white Christmas!

The shot above of our home was taken a few weeks ago,

when we actually had a nice snow cover.

We only had a dusting of snow here this year

on Christmas Day and it is still mild for this time

of year.

Love and Best Wishes to you all!

English Fireside Tea

Hello everyone,

This afternoon I am enjoying an

English afternoon tea in the

library by the firesde.

Last year we gave our library a makeover

to make it more cozy.

Tea by the fire while enjoying

a book is my idea of a

relaxing winter day.

I love my English style teapot with

a pretty English cottage on it.

I have a small collection of dogs in

the library. The Irish setter featured

here was one I bought in an

antique shop in Great Village

Nova Scotia.

Last night we had a beautiful

snowfall , so I was out early

with my camera enjoying the

beauty. I will post some of

those pics soon.

Thank you for visiting,

Winter Solstice

Hello everyone,

Happy winter solstice to you.

Today is the official first day

of winter but it has been unusually

mild here so what little snow we

had has all melted.

I am happy to hear that there are

snow flurries predicted for Christmas

day though.....so maybe a bit of

a white Christmas.

A corner in our bedroom by the fire.

A cozy place to read a book

and enjoy a cup of tea.

                                                          

                                                     

Our library decked out for Christmas.

It is hard to believe that Christmas is

almost here. I hope you have been

enjoying the season thus far.

I will pop in again at least once more

before Christmas.

Thank you for visiting,

Christmas Past

Hello everyone,

It seems like our warm weather has past

so it has put me in the mood for Christmas/

winter decorating.

I am still putting little touches here and

there but most of my decorating is done.

I love to get it done early as the evenings

are long now and so I can enjoy the

coziness of all the mini lights

on the trees etc.

Tea nestled in by the fire is

always nice on a cold day.

Our library got a makeover last

fall and there are a few new

changes this year to share soon.

The dining area had lots of red and white

touches.

A  cozy Christmas tea time.

The photo above was taken in the

Boathouse nook....one of my

favorites.

Today I am sharing photos of Christmas in

the past but today I started taking

some photos of this year that

I will share soon.

Thank you for visiting,

My Indoor Garden

Hello everyone,

Here on the Island  winter does

not want to let go just yet as

we are getting several inches

of snow.

The good news is it will melt soon

into the ground and there is lots

of perennials poking up.....

more and more each day.

So for now I will enjoy my little

indoor garden.

A lemon scented geranium has

lots of dainty blooms and the

leaves are very fragrant.

I have had this statue for many years

now and she adds charm to the

library where these plants

enjoy the southern light.

                                                                 

Did you notice my new blue chintz teacup

and the dark blue teapot(a gift from

my sister in law).

It is a hearty soup kind of a

day here today and I have

a batch of scones in the oven.

Looking forward to some

spring weather though...soon!

Thanks for visiting me,

Carolyn

Christmas in our Library

Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing well and

looking forward to celebrating

the birth of Jesus this week.

As some of you know we gave our

library a makeover a few months

ago. 

We are happy with the changes but

I especially love it all decorated

for Christmas.

It is a good place to enjoy reading

a book with a hot drink.

I love my new copper mugs!

A few closeups.....the very old fiddle was

my husbands uncles and I made the

stockings tears ago from fabric scraps.

You can see the Christmas tree through

the french doors in the dining area.

Thank you for visiting!

I have been in the mood to

do a few photo shoots lately

so I will share those soon.

      If we have more covid restrictions

put on us to keep us safe I will

have loads of time for playing

with my camera so you might

see more of me.

Stay safe and stay happy,

Carolyn
