Happy Easter




                  Happy Easter!

                    We are having most of our family for
                                       Easter dinner tomorrow.....our youngest daughter
                                        and her family are in Florida now so we will miss
                                        them.However, there will still be seventeen of us.

I like to set the tables the day
before so it is one less job for 
the day.

White Cottage



               Hello everyone,

                 I hope your week is going well.

                  I am getting ready for Easter as I
                  am sure many of you are as well.




  
I
   I am in the mood for white
  today so as I am changing
         the curtains in the bay window
to white for the summer.







                   I love this big bouquet of
                              pink tulips.... they will be part of
                            my Easter tables this weekend.

                                                                           Calm and soothing whites.

                                                                       White Cottage style.

I enjoyed taking some time with
my camera but I better get back
to my chores!

There is a special Maundy Thursday
      candlelight communion service tonight at
 Zion  Presbyterian Church (7 p.m.)
        in Charlottetown if you are free to attend.


Thank you for visiting me today.

Welcome Spring



Hello everyone,

 I am happy that spring has arrived
here even though the weather has been
a bit colder lately.
The sun is shining but the wind is blowing
today. However,we know good things are
about to happen soon and I love the longer
days.



I am almost done of my spring
cleaning. Before Easter arrives
it will be all done and hopefully,
I can clean the boathouse and cottage
soon before getting into the garden.
One of my spring chores \was
  changing my Friendly Village  dishes
for my Florentine vintage china.


                         I have a few bunnies hopping
            around in here too.


              My spring tea

                                                             I am so looking forward to getting
                                                             out in the garden and seeing the return
                                                             of these spring beauties.

It is March break here on the Island
so we have some of our grandchildren
coming for a sleepover visit .....always
fun. On Easter Sunday we will be hosting
our family dinner so I am looking
forward to that as well.

I am happy that you took 
the time to visit me!

Peaceful Sunday Afternoon Tea




            Hello everyone,

         On this beautiful sunny last day of
      winter, I thought this cozy corner
                    in our bedroom would be perfect for my 
                          afternoon tea. The sun is streaming in and my
    plants are giving me a boost of
spring color.
Our bedroom 



Chamomile tea will add to my
peaceful atmosphere.

A small teapot ' Grace' is
perfect for one.





Wishing you a peaceful Palm Sunday
today.

Take care,
Carolyn

Easter Vignettes




     Hello everyone,

   With the coming of Easter, I
looked through some of my
  previous years photos to see
what I was up to back then.
 Since spring cleaning 
has been keeping me busy
I have not had time with
my camera lately~ but soon
I hope!
.



                      Touches of Easter in our
porch.

                                                                      Some Easter whimsy for the
                                                                      grandchildren.


                       Peter Rabbit and friends.
         

                                  Love this vintage Easter tablecloth.





Easter dinnerware from the 
Cracker Barrel in the U.S.

                Maritime Rose china...so pretty!



                                                                 Easter tables a couple of years
                                                                 ago.


                                               I hope you didn't mind looking back
                                                         with me to some previous Easter Vignettes.

                                                                       Wishing you the best of days!
