Canada Day at the Fort

From our National Anthem:
"God Keep our Land Glorious and Free". That is my prayer also.
Today to celebrate Canada Day a group of friends , about 22, went to Lower Fort Garry, an old Hudson Bay Co. fort. Later we had a barbecue at our house for 28 young at heart, patriotic folks. What fun!
Some shots from around the grounds and governor's house...



Love the detail on this soup tureen.

Victoria…and Me

Image
To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
