Company so sweet....

Hello my dears.. 

Welcome to the Blessed Hearth tonight.. 

How are you all? 

We are doing great here at our summer cottage  by the Bay of Fundy.. 

I had some sweet company yesterday.. 

You may recognize Lindsay as she is always in the Keepers of the Home pictures.. Somewhere or other..smile.. 

She brought her children and came for a visit..

 I was glad to see them as I miss the girls when I am here.. 

We don't get to our home church very much during the Summer as it is a fair pace away and the St. John church is nearer and much better roads..

 But we do get to be with our daughter and her family when we go there.. smile..

Anyway, it was great to see Lauren and Jacob, too.. 

Aren't they cute?  

Lindsay is showing me her website that she did for one of her university courses.. It was on the Keepers of the Home group that we have.. 

Very professional if I must say.. eh, Lins?  grin...

Jacob became a wee bit bored after awhile.. 

And decided to bounce his ball on top of his sister's Barbie doll.. LOL...

She was not real impressed or I don't think so...grin..

We had a lovely afternoon but they had to get home and make Daddy's supper.. 

They left something behind, though.. 

Some dear memories AND....

 a lovely Tim Horton Coffee for me and I think Jacob called this a fruit burst muffin... 

They surely know the way to my heart... smile.. 

Thanks for coming Lindsay.. xoxo

Then this morning before I went over to the shop I worked on getting some beds ready for company that are arriving tomorrow for a couple of days...

My Mom and Step Dad and some folks from the beautiful Prince Edward Island... 

This old cottage is not fancy but...

they don't mind... smile..

We call this the not so prim purple room... grin...

And the breezes are blowing in to air out this old bedroom...

What could smell better first thing in the morning than breezes off of the sea.. eh?

Well, dear ladies thank you so much for your sweet visit.. 

Wish I could find you all a bed here somewhere..

We'd make us some tea and have a little chat.. 

About important things... 

Right?  

Our sweet hubbies and children... 

A bit of shop talk and decorating.. 

The price of tea in China.. grin.. 

And of course..

A bit about the goodness and greatness of our God.. 

Love to you all... 

Getting a Country Bedroom ready for Company

Hello everyone...

Today is Tuesday and tomorrow we are having company... My sweet cousin Valerie is coming to stay for a couple of days.  She is one of my cousins from St. Martins on my Mom's side of the family.. 

We are going to have a crafting party... We both love prim crafts and when we chat on the phone we say that we could go on for days...

Today, I made sure her bedroom was already for her...

This is one of our spare rooms and I thought she might like it best.  I changed the bed... There was a kind of flannel heavy quilt so I put a lighter one on...

A little lavender in the bedding just so it smells nice ... Gram always kept a bunch of tied lavender in her linen closet.. hmmmm... I wonder if Val knows that. 

She lived there at the end of the Gram's lane..

We lived 2 hours away and only went down a few times a year and usually stayed for a couple of nights...The sheets always smelled so wonderful....  The smell of lavender always reminds me of Gram...

Then I put some magazines and books out on the window seat and made sure there was a  jug ready for a middle of the night drink...I will fill that up later...  

Then I made sure there was a clock and stocked the bath with toiletries that Terry gets from the hotels when he is away..

Don't you find that they are so nice for guests?

Oh, I also placed a couple of bunnies around to decorate for the season..

I know Easter is about a lot more than bunnies but I do like a few around...

So, my dears I will get back to you and let you know all the fun things we end up doing.... (if the Lord wills)

She is going to try and teach me a couple of new craft things...

Thanks so much for stopping by and I love your little comments.

Have yourselves a lovely day....

God bless...

I wonder what I should make for supper....smile....
