Carolyn lives in a beautiful home on Prince Edward Island in Canada. She is married to her high school sweetheart. They have seven children, and nine grandchildren.

Carolyn can style a space so enchanting you can’t stop going from post to post, seeking more.

Her gardens are legendary. Some of the most gorgeous I’ve ever had occasion to glimpse on a blog.

You can see for yourself where some of her pretty dishes are stored.

She often has a feast of goodies to display. A feast for the eyes as well.

I can only imagine what it would be like to stroll through her gardens, the scent of all these flowers drifting through the air.

I’d ask if I could pick a bouquet to take with me.

Or perhaps sit here with her and have a cup of tea.

I hope you enjoyed touring Carolyn’s home at Aiken House & Gardens. I doubt you’d ever find one more beautiful or charming.

  11. Greetings Brenda,
    I have been to Carolyn’s glorious gardens to see for myself and have had the joyful experience of sharing tea with her at her kitchen table. It is something I will always remember fondly. Indeed, she has been featured in Romantic Home and countless publications. Although I am relatively new to blogging, I have done an entire series of posts on the amazing world she has created for herself and her family. She is a beautiful talent and even more beautiful person. Thank you for bringing her to your readers. Wonderful job! I’m glad to have found your blog. :-)
    Hugs,

  20. Oh Brenda,

    I SO agree with you- Carolyn has one of the best blogs ever – every single thing she posts is a new favorite, I would LOVE to go to her house – you know the last 3 years we’ve gone to PEI and couldn’t make it to a tour of her world. It’s so far away, I could just kick myself every time I think of missing it!

  21. Ahhhhhh. Bliss
