Tinker's First Snow

I hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday!

I have had a very productive day!

Inside...
                                                     
And out!

You See...it snowed last night and then ALL day today!
So my little Tinker house was covered in the white fluffy stuff!

Yay!
I thought I would take a few pictures for you!




As you can see...
The snow was falling even as I was trying to take these picture!

And this is my clothesline...we won't mention that it nearly took my head off! (Ha!)

This is the view coming out of my house and garage. You can see the corner of the cottage, the potager, and Tinker!




My fountain is done up for the Holidays as well...it has a collection of my vintage light globes!

After I froze my tushie off...I came back into the house to help hubby with the absolute very last of the demo! I hope!

This is a view of what will be our new living room, dining room and to the right of these photos...my kitchen!


I am so over demo!

But while I am finishing up the drywall in my new closet...(pictures in a few days!)
Hubby is tearing out the last of the yuck!

I will be back in a few days with the final pictures of the cottage Christmas (finally done)
And the upstairs loft!
Have a Blessed Sunday !

I am off to fix dinner and then back outside to take some more pictures of Tinker!
I am trying to get a couple of really good ones with lights on!

  11. Donna dearest, everytime I catch a glimpse of Tinker I am delighted. This truly is a little work of art in the garden. The snow makes it so magical! Even more magical than it already was. I know how much this little haven means to you and I love that.
    Love to you...

  13. OOOOOh sooooo Pretty! I love the Tinker...
    The snow is beautiful, but getting up early, driving in it with a full load and unloading in it for the flea... and then no one showing up because of it... isn't pretty.
    But I do love it
    Blessings

  19. Woo hoo! You've done such a great job. Hey Donna, I wanted to comment above too on your living room (and everything else) but no comments available :(

    Any how... You inspire me, know I've told you before. We really need to be neighbors. You're place goes well with mine and my petite maison aspires to be dreamy. Thank YOU for the inspiration!

  27. OMG is all I can say! I have never seen a more dreamy little house than yours. I saved the first image, it is gorgeous. I need to ask did you build it yourselves? It is truly inspiring. I love how you have landscaped around the outside and the urn with the sticks and the gazing balls covered in snow, just jaw dropping!
