Christmas Day at the cottage

Our Little Cottage in the snow

the snowy lane a welcoming sight on Christmas Eve

Our Tree, Santa has arrived

the Stockings are hung in the 'Doorway' with care...we have no fireplace or chimney inside

Alan wearing a few of his gifts, new hat and scarf and head lamp for those evening strolls in the park

My surprise gift. I opened the box to find clementine with the tag on it, and the ring box.

Yes the answer is yes.

now we have a wedding to plan, we will have a barbecue July 29th and a wedding will break out.
casual with family and friends.

this is my beautiful ring

Alan and Les checking out more of Alans gifts
lighted reading glasses and a light for his keychain. It is very dark here at night.

Alan's new hammer, hoping it will make putting the siding on a little more enjoyable. He decided to use it as a scratch card scratcher...I'm not sure if he won anything.

the boys in our Christmas morning tradition of mince tarts, kindereggs and scratch tickets

no great amounts won here














a new flock of sheep

Our engagement is blessed by the heartshaped potato. It was in the bag of spuds Alan was preparing for Christmas dinner along with prime rib, yorkshire pudding, brussel sprouts & carrots.

Isn't that Grand.






Domenic, Harold's son came to visit and got to open his gifts too.

the boy loves yorkshire pudding.

With his daddy Harold and Auntie April.

what a sweet heart he is.

the flowers I did for the candle holder that didn't get lit.. Oh well maybe new years eve.


It was a wonderful first Christmas at the cottage. We love this place even more each day and this summer will be so grand with all the visitors and not so much work.

Inside this winter we will be doing the finishing work around the new windows and doors.

So that is it for now from Sanddollar Cottage...bye for now

Its almost Christmas

Christmas is slowly coming to Sanddollor Cottage.

the first tree put up was the little Hummel tree.

I collected Hummel ornaments for a few years and now can do a whole little tree. I just love them.

This is our little livingroom tree. We cut it down and had to take some off the top as well. I think its quite funny looking but its decorated and the Angel was finally found and set in her propper place.

on the tv stand that doesn't have a tv I put the little tv music box. It is very special

we have our candles on the sideboard 'Theodor'

and I did a bowl of clove spiked oranges today.

Later this is where the nativity will be, but not today we have to find a place for all the candles.

so thats it so far for the Christmas decor here at the cottage. I'll keep you posted. still no snow, it looks like a green and wet Christmas here in pei.

bye for now from Sanddollar cottage.
