Our Library at Christmas




      Hello!

            I hope you are enjoying a lovely
      weekend.
               I find it hard to believe Christmas
                will be here and gone in 2 weeks!
                   I have been enjoying the cozy lights
                      etc. in our library.

                                                              We just finished putting up
                                                              our big tree in here but I didn't
                                                              get any photos of it yet.


                                                                      It is a cozy place for
                                                                      dining as well as reading.
                                                                               
                                                              I have set the table for a romantic
                                                              dinner for two.

                                                                My collection of Friendly Village by
                                                                Johnson Bros. is out on display for the
                                                                winter season.

Tea, anyone?

     With the long evenings it is so
          nice to dine by the fireside and if
               you noticed that I am short on words,
             dinner is cooking as we speak and I
           plan to enjoy it here in our library.


           Thank you for visiting me.

A Winter Tartan Picnic





      Hello everyone,
I hope you had a lovely weekend.
We had great weather for all the
outdoor Christmas events.
Since we had some snow but mild
temperatures I did a little  outdoor
photo shoot.
I like to set up our porch with a winter
display that I enjoy even just looking
out from the doorway.
                                      This time I used a blue /green 
             tartan theme.

                       Winter picnics are fun too.

                           Love this tartan gift bag.

                                                          You can see we had a good cover of
                                                          snow on the trees and shrubs.It was
                                                          pretty but thousands of homes were without power
                                                          some for a couple of days because of the weight
                                                         of snow on the wires across the Island.
                                                     
                       With more sunshine and mild temperatures
                    for most of this week, I think I will make
                       a thermos of hot cocoa and sit out and enjoy
             the fresh air and the beauty of nature.

I am joining Cozy Little House and
                  Common Ground for their Christmas mini party.

                 Have a wonderful day!
