Old Quebec City




Hello everyone,

Last week my husband and I
drove up to Quebec City for
a little holiday. It is about a 
nine hour drive from our
home on P.E.I. and well
worth it!


We have been there a few
times at Christmas time
and also a few times in
autumn .


Old Quebec has a very European
feel to it and I love how well it
is decorated for all the seasons
        but I think my favorite is Christmas.


The Hotel Frontenac is
so beautiful !


I love that almost every shop
is decorated for Christmas.


There are always so many
Christmas trees outside the
shops.


So much charm!


I always have to get a
shot of this restaurant
when we go.


The Petite Champlain is a favorite
stroll. We got up early so we could
walk down the street before the
crowd.


This year we lucked into
some snow with gently
falling snowflakes...perfect!


                                                              

A charming little hotel near
where we stayed.

There is lots to see and do in
this charming old city so full
of history.

Thanks for coming along with
me and I hope you have a 
wonderful weekend!

Cosy Tea Times





Welcome December!

Today I am sharing some cosy
winter tea times over the past
few years.
The weather has just turned colder
here but still no snow.







A touch of plaid and some enamalware
makes for a cosy winter tea.



Maybe, you prefer your winter
time afternoon tea by the fire.
I enjoy using my Friendly Village
tea set this time of the year.



A snowy winter tea in the garden.


Enamelware tea again.



                                             Red and white transferware tea
                                              by the fire with sugar cookies...
                                              a nice treat!

 



Tea and mince meat pie

I do love transferware and have
collected all colors over the
years.








Hammock time on a beautiful
winter day with a thermos
of hot tea.


Tea in the Boathouse.


I will end with a cosy fireside tea.
All we need is a good book and some
time to enjoy!

Thanks for joining me for tea today.

Take care,

  Carolyn
