And Winter Came............



                                                                          Hello everyone,

                                                               This morning we woke up to a
                                                              winter wonderland.Yesterday,
                                                               everything was brown and grey,
                                                              so I am happy to have some snow
                                                              to brighten it up and it more like
                                                              Christmas.However, I will admit we
                                                              don't need all the snow we had last year!

                                                                    I the garden in Winter.



                                                                 The allee garden                                                                                                                                                                      
                                                         We painted our house in June so
                                                          this is the first I have seen the
                                                          new color with a snowy background.

       Our statues add interest
  in the winter garden.



                 The shrubs are laden with snow.





                                                                       The Christmas Cottage
        The pond has a layer of ice.





     Well, now I really want to
              finish decorating for Christmas!

          Have a wonderful weekend,

          Carolyn

Casual Christmas Tablescape




    Hello everyone,

 Well, December is here already and
      there will be lots of activities going on.
      We are expecting our first snow storm
    in the next couple of days,letting us 
know that winter is really coming!



I set a casual tablescape in our dining
area with some pretty Christmas
dishes.

I love to display this old
enamalware coffeepot at
Christmas time so it sits
    as a centerpiece in the center
of the table.

A close up look....polka
dots and reindeer.

 An old enamel ware teapot sits
 in the wicker tray as well.

                                                       I used plaid chargers.

                                                              The dinner plate has the
                                                               polka dots.

    A Christmas teacup blends well.


                                        The cupboard above is full of dishes......
                                                  hope I can squeeze in another set!

                                                  I am joining BNOTP for Tablescape Thursday.


                                                             Thank you for stopping by.
