Our Winter Garden

Happy Weekend!

We have had some lovely winter days here this year so

when I saw we had a new coat of snow last night I

took a stroll through the garden with my camera.

Above, is our little Gardener's Cottage.

                                                               I love this heart shaped wreath on the old farm gate.

                                                                     The Gardener's Cottage in winter.

                                                                                 

                                                           This old rustic birdhouse adds charm to
                                                           boathouse porch.

                                                                  Another rustic birdhouse on an old
                                                                   tree stump.          

                The north end of the barn decked out for Christmas.

                                                                           

                                                                       The Boathouse

                                                                 The arbor that my husband and son built.

                                                                Our winter lamp post.

                                                           The old hammock in the woods.        

I didn't get all the way around the garden before it was

time to go for our morning walk hopefully there will be

time tomorrow but our temperature is taking a big dip

tonight so it might not be as pleasant so photography.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Brown & White Transferware

                                                        When we were down in Maine I
                                                        bought some beautiful old transferware
                                                        pieces and one of them was this old
                                                       brown and white transferware soup tureen.
                                                       It has a few cracks in it but I pictured it
                                                       with hyacinths etc. blooming in it so it
                                                       came home with me.

                                                          Roses and hyacinths in transferware.
                                                          I love that little hint of spring with
                                                          hyacinths blooming indoors.

                                                         This tureen is larger then the one I just bought
                                                         and the old platter was one I had for a few years.

                                         I guess you noticed by now that I love transferware
                                                   in all shapes ,sizes and colors so whenever I see one
                                                   for a good price I happily grab it.

                                                       If you would like to see some of my display in
                                                     a cupboard just click here.


                                                      Today, is my husbands birthday so it is party
