Paula's Christmas Cottage 2013 Part 2

Hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Back to my visit with Paula

 and a tour of her charming Christmas cottage!

On the landing at the top of the stairs

 sits this charming snowlady, another one-of-a-kind doll

 created by our good friend Evi 

 Evi's Country Snippets

...next to yet another decorated tree!

This bedroom is referred to as either

 the "Princess Room" or the "Red Room".

I just call it my room.

Even the tiny upstairs bath has a Christmas tree and decorations.

Now we are heading into the other upstairs bedroom.

Isn't she beautiful?

Paula's mitten pillow.

  She even knit the tiny mittens! 

Sweet little angel bear.

The cottage is positively magical in the evening

 with so many tiny twinkling lights!

Paula's creative and imaginative Christmas decor

 surely gave me the inspiration I was looking for!

I left there with visions of sugarplums

 and all sorts of other enchanting ideas!

Thank you Paula!

Looking forward to the Christmas party!

Next up...

A visit to NEST in Mystic, Connecticut.

You are going to love this amazing shop!

Autumn in the Adirondacks

September and October were beautiful in the Adirondacks.

Here are a few photos that show just a bit of the beauty

 of our mountains and lake.

It is always sad when we close up "camp" for the season.

 But things changed quickly up north

 and they have already had their first snowfall!

Things have changed here at home too.

Life has it's seasons.

These days we are spending time loving and caring

 for the oldest members of our family.

It is such a privilege.

So grateful for family, friends and faith.

Hope You are enjoying the season!

More Bouckville 2013 Treasure

I took a ton of photos at Bouckville

 with two different cameras plus my IPhone.

 If you follow along on Instagram...

you have seen very similar photos.

Thought you might enjoy seeing these too!

These two marble top tables were gorgeous.

 They weren't priced, there was no vendor around

 and I don't even have a place for them.

  But, I want a place for them.

 I love them.

The fact is...I don't even have room for one.

:(

Loved both of these charming portraits! 

This vendor had tons of Christmas ornaments stacked high.

I think there were as many photos taken of this pile

 as people were buying!

European Breadboards....

colored glass bottles...

So beautiful...

A great selection of old windows...

Just say no.

 I already have three of these, including one that was my Nana's.

an old bustle...

I can't even imagine what it would be like to wear such a thing.

But then again...my figure doesn't need any extra padding there! 

You know how much I love blue!

I have several pieces of cobalt decorated pottery collected long ago.

 Good thing...prices are high now!

That's it for photos of  Bouckville 2013

Looking forward to next year already! 

Next up...autumn at the lake.
