Tuesday Treasure - Aiken House & Gardens

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Please bear with me as my blog makeover continues to be perfected...what do you think so far?

The Christmas season is now in full swing...I've got so many projects in my head!

I get worn out just thinking how I'm going to get them all done..

My Tuesday Treasure this week, happens to be a blog I found on Pinterest..

and I wanted to share it with you...

I must thank Carolyn for kindly allowing me

to share these pictures with you....

Carolyn hails from Canada and her blog entitled, Aiken House and Gardens,

and she beautifully showcases her cottage home...

I saw this screen-in porch on Pinterest and clicked on over to

check out more of her space...

Her backyards are so green and lush and beautiful...

her garden has been featured in several publications worldwide.....

The blooming flowers are magnificent and color is everywhere...

and the table tucked in the corner makes the perfect place to
sit and relaxand enjoy!

Peonies are one of my most favorite flowers, love the variations of pink

as well as the mosiac birdhouse..

This could be a post card, so pretty!

But let's get back to reality....cold, snow...Christmas...

Inside, Carolyn took one of those little electric stoves and painted it ivory...

(I think I need one of these for my place...never thought of painting it...so pretty!!)

There are several fireplaces in her home and all are decorated for the season...

Carolyn mentions that she's a visitor to thrift stores
as well as Dollar Store... love the Santa's placed around the room..

The tree is so beautiful, the garland, the flocked tree, the ornaments...the angel..

I was inspired by what was under the tree...

the lace tree skirt...and putting old vintage toys underneath...

Goodwill stores have a surplus of ice skates this time of year...

or at least mine does....

Carolyn uses gray paint to make them look aged...

love this!

Do you have a old teddy bear and doll that's tucked away?

How about pulling it out and using it this season?

And if you happen to live near Prince Edward Island in Canada...

You'll be able to view her entire home as part of a Christmas home tour...

all money raised will be donated to Muscular Dystrophy...

There's so much more to see of her beautiful home, I'll hope you'll stop over and tell her I sent you...

Have a great Tuesday!
