The Beauty of Winter

Hello everyone,

I hope your week is going well.

We have been celebrating some

      family birthdays here the past week

   so I didn't have time to post here.

Yesterday was a project day as I

cleaned up out our little pantry

and gave it a fresh coat of paint

and got rid of some clutter in

there.

   I took some shots last week

on a pretty winter day.

                                                                        Our sun room on a mild
                                                                        sunny winter day.

                                                             I like the winter berries in the window
                                                              box with the snow.

We had a good snowfall

the middle of the week.

I went for a walk around the pond.

                          I shot this through the bay window.

                        I love a snow fall that stays on the

trees.

                   Our woods......many years ago when our house

                       was built the road actually went through here.Now,

it is at the other side of our home.

        Winter is so beautiful...don't you agree.

                                 After all that walking through the 

                                  woods ....I think it is time for a hot

  cup of cocoa!

                         Hope you have a lovely day,

                                       Carolyn

A White Christmas.......Past

   Hello everyone,

     It is a dull  damp November day here

  and I can't take any photos indoors 

     today so I picked out some of my past

favorites of a White Christmas. 

I hope you enjoy them.

                                                          Above, is a shot of the Boathouse
                                                         conservatory a few years ago.I went
                                                         with a Nordic look then but last year
                                                         it was an English Country Christmas
                                                         look.I am still thinking about this years
                                                        look in our tiny conservatory.
                                                       You can check out the English Country
                                                       look here.

The Boathouse Christmas nook. This 

was one of my favorite shots last year

as there was a nice coat of snow but no

ice on the pond yet so there is a nice

reflection in the water.

Another angle in the conservatory showing

my $5 rusty iron chandelier.

                     My oldest daughter wore these little skates

   when she was learning to skate.

Our bedroom decorated for

      Christmas a couple of years ago.

A snowy white Christmas.

I painted the old skates and

  added fur trim with hot glue'

                                                                      I have to confess I love a
                                                                      snowy white Christmas.

A winter white tea in

our sunroom.....get

cozy under a furry white

throw.

As, I look out at the brown and grey

of November I am looking forward

to a nice coat of fluffy white stuff

but I know many don't agree with

me on that one!

Hopefully, in the next day or two I

will have some new shots of my

decorating progress from this year.

Take care,
