A Tea Party at My Dream Canvas

It was a busy day for me today! The highlight was that the sun was playing peek-a-boo all day. I managed to get a quick shot of the sun streaming through my window! In the Pacific Northwest that is a big deal :) I ran errands the entire day, dragged myself to the Gym and then ran for my physiotherapy appointment! Okay, I am allowed to crib once in a while right :)

Frankly I don't mind a crazy day and I am grateful for everything I have! However, I do get cranky when I don't get to enjoy a cup of tea in peace :) Heating and reheating my tea numerous times in the microwave is just not fun :) Do you do that as well?

I would like to invite you over for tea today! It would be perfect if we could drink it in style and in peace!! No microwaves please!!

This would be nice....

We could sit here and chat for hours, laugh endlessly and enjoy the moment!

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed the little tea party at My Dream Canvas :)

Winter Musings and Some Lovely Images

I can feel the chill in the air. It is getting dark by 4.00pm and winter seems to have arrived :) Do you like the different seasons in the year? I am sure we all have our favorites :) Dull and dreary Seattle is not one of mine and yet winter has so much to offer. The holiday season is such an exciting and festive time of the year!! At home we are gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My kids are so excited and we have been making a lot of fun plans :)

Today, was one of those days,  when the sun rays looked surreal and beautiful and the light was somewhat different. I could not take any pictures but this image very aptly captures the mood in my home today :)

Winter and the fireplace go hand in hand, don't you think :)

Endless cups of hot tea is a constant companion :)

I have a strong feeling that we will see some snow before this month ends! While, I hate driving in the snow and cleaning up my driveway...... the first few snowflakes are so worthwhile :)

 

 

I hope you are having a good week? Drop me a line, I always love to hear from you.

Summer's Last Hurrah

I am popping in to say a quick hello :) We are heading towards a long weekend here in the States. My kids go back to school in a few days.......my parents head to UK in a week and I have a college friend moving into town next week :) There is lots going on at my Casa :) It is a busy time for me. As Fall begins to head our way, my plan is to enjoy the last few days of sunshine and good weather!!

This coming weekend is all about family time. The plan is to head outdoors and have some fun.  I would love to plan a party for my kids to bid adieu to the summer break. The second image with the smiling kids and the picturesque setting is absolutely perfect.......don't you think?

As I head out of the door to run my thousand errands......I want to wish you all a great weekend. I might be back with a post or two and if not, I shall see you back here in a few days :)

Keep on smiling and enjoy your day!!

Summer's last hurrah......
