A Fireside Tea

                 Hello everyone,

                    It is another dull November day

                  here so it is a good day to have

               afternoon tea by the fireside.

I have been getting our home

decorating for the season.

I love how all the fairy lights

add sparkle and coziness.

It is starting to look like

Christmas around here.

                                                         Wrap up in a plaid/tartan throw if you
                                                          like while we enjoy our tea.

                                                                         Tea and scones.

                                                                      The plates were a recent thrift
                                                                      find and the teacups were a gift
                                                                      from a friend. They are almost
                                                                      a perfect match.

         The lacy vintage hankie was 

      another gift from a friend this

week.

I hope you are snug and cozy

where ever you are today.

             I am joining Between Naps on the Porch

for Tablescape Thursday.

Take care,

       Carolyn

A White Christmas.......Past

   Hello everyone,

     It is a dull  damp November day here

  and I can't take any photos indoors 

     today so I picked out some of my past

favorites of a White Christmas. 

I hope you enjoy them.

                                                          Above, is a shot of the Boathouse
                                                         conservatory a few years ago.I went
                                                         with a Nordic look then but last year
                                                         it was an English Country Christmas
                                                         look.I am still thinking about this years
                                                        look in our tiny conservatory.
                                                       You can check out the English Country
                                                       look here.

The Boathouse Christmas nook. This 

was one of my favorite shots last year

as there was a nice coat of snow but no

ice on the pond yet so there is a nice

reflection in the water.

Another angle in the conservatory showing

my $5 rusty iron chandelier.

                     My oldest daughter wore these little skates

   when she was learning to skate.

Our bedroom decorated for

      Christmas a couple of years ago.

A snowy white Christmas.

I painted the old skates and

  added fur trim with hot glue'

                                                                      I have to confess I love a
                                                                      snowy white Christmas.

A winter white tea in

our sunroom.....get

cozy under a furry white

throw.

As, I look out at the brown and grey

of November I am looking forward

to a nice coat of fluffy white stuff

but I know many don't agree with

me on that one!

Hopefully, in the next day or two I

will have some new shots of my

decorating progress from this year.

Take care,
