Romantic Fireside Tea

                                                                     Hello everyone,
                              I hope you are all enjoying this first weekend in February~ the month of
                              romance!
                                   I welcomed in the month by enjoying some time curled up by our wood
                             burning fireplace with a good book and a cup of hot tea.We don't use this
                             fireplace often as our propane fireplace gives more heat for less work but
                             there is nothing quite as cozy to me as the crackle of a wood fire so once
                             in awhile we enjoy it.

                           
                                     
                         

                              Since a wood fireplace always reminds me of the scenes in Rosamunde
                               Pilcher's book Winter Solstice I decided to use my English teapot and
                               chintz teacup.

                  What about you .....do you enjoy curling up with a book and tea by the fireside? I
                    do have an extra chair and book for you. I am pretty sure I can find a tea cup for you!

           I found another chintz teacup for you and some sheep cookies to go with our English tea.

             I hope you are relaxing on this lovely Sunday afternoon ~ so nice to treat yourself! You
                       deserve it after all!!!

                                  I am joining Rose Chintz Cottage today for Tea Time Tuesday.

                                                              Thank you for stopping by,

                                                                                           Carolyn

The Island in Winter

                                                               Hello everyone,
         I think a lot of people are looking for spring but there is still lots of beautiful winter days to enjoy
         here first. Sometimes my husband's job means a drive to different parts of the Island and I happy
         to go with him if time allows and take along my camera. So, I thought you might like to come
         along too as Prince Edward Island is beautiful in all seasons.
       
     

                         I know I have shared Knox's Dam before but it is just so pretty in all seasons.

                                             North Rustico a pretty fishing village and one of my favorite
                                             summer drives but still pretty in winter.

                                                           A beautiful Island farm

                               A favorite place for me to see at Christmas time especially if we have snow.

                                           I didn't have to go far to see this.....our own little boathouse.

                                             Our neighbors red barn looks pretty against the snow and trees.

                                              The lighthouse in Victoria by the sea.

Beautiful heritage homes in Summerside (except for lower right one).

                                                               Victoria by the Sea

Driving on country roads in winter we are happy for snow tires and snowplows!

                                                 Our boathouse a few weeks ago in the snow.

             Lastly, a beautiful church in downtown Charlottetown ~ St Dunstan's Basilicia.

                           I am joining The Rose Garden in Malevik for Show-off Saturday.

                                Thank you for coming along on the drive and I hope you
                                have a wonderful weekend!
