                                                                               Hello everyone,                                                           It was a beautiful sunny day here today                                                           with a warmer temperature so I was                                                           able to plant the last of my tulip bulbs                                                           in the garden. I was happy to get them in                                                           as we had such wintry weather I thought                                                           I might have missed my window of                                                           opportunity! I also,filled a few planters                                                           with greenery and rosehips while enjoying                                                           the sunshine.                                                      

   Happy December weekend!            I hope you are enjoying your weekend.           I am happy to turn the calendar page to                 December as I love the Christmas season!                 I have been doing more Christmas touches                  in and around our home as the weather was                   decent for doing a bit outdoors today.....sure    glad the strong winds have left us. Any way, I thought it was a good day for a little rustic wintry tea. I enjoy pops of red at this time of the year so I brought out my old enamelware tea pot and a couple of enamelware mugs but if you prefer you may use my Christmas teacup.  A slice of mince meat pie will be a nice treat. Well I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and thank you for stopping by. Carolyn

                                                                           Good morning,                                                           We had a very windy day here yesterday                                                          knocking out power for much of the                                                          Maritimes including us for over 16 hours.                                                           Fortunately we are back on now but                                                          thousands are not. It isn't even winter yet                                                          and already we have had a few storms with                                                          school closures etc.                                                              I took a few shots of some of my red and                                                          white transferware in the kitchen to share                                              

                                                                          Hello everyone,                                                              I hope your week is going well.                                                              My husband and I just got back                                                              from a little holiday in Nova Scotia.                                                              We spent a few days in Mahone Bay                                                              and enjoyed their Father Christmas                                                              Festival . Mahone Bay is a beautiful                                                              friendly little town on the south shore                                                              of Nova Scotia and only a 4 1/2 drive                                                              from our home.                                                              

Hello everyone, I am still making my way around  our home adding little Christmas Touches here and there.     In our library I changed out the desk for this cabinet and the desk is in the hall where this cabinet was......makes sense right? Remember my mother always said a change is as good as a rest! Anyway, I love my red transferware displayed on top of it with a few  Christmas touches. Mason Vista red and white transferware is a favorite of mine.                                             I hope all my American friends had a lovely                                                        Thanksgiving Day! I am sure it will be full                                                         steam ahead until Christmas from now on.                                                                            Have a wonderful weekend!                                                                                                  Carolyn
