Hee, hee! I just love where we are heading today! My namesake cove! Yep, it's Peggy's Cove. My dad is from Nova Scotia, so we traveled there each summer. My father would get the "itch" whenever july came around. Great memories. Had to share that!
Now for the real news. This week Cindy (MotherMark's) teapot tuesday party
is right dab in Central Peggy's Cove. You have to know that only 120 have residency there, but in the summertime there's millions of tourists that stop by just to admire the Maritime beauty and so it is. It's a small little lighthouse, but one of the most famous one too! So join us in the fun, I know Maritimers love their tea with milk and sugar, but me, I love mine with something extra! LOL
Had to catch a few fishies, that's why I'm a bit late this morning in getting here. Stop by, maybe you'll get to meet some of my relatives, but please don't tell them what I use in my tea okay. They all think I'm this sweet sweet thang, don't want to disappoint now! LOL
My little lighthouse was made with the Midnight madness sketch Priscilla Styles prepares each week also, this one was a fine challenge. Love the special ribbon treatment she added.

What a darling image and so beautifully coloured!! I did not know that you were named for Peggy's Cove!! How exciting - and I did not know that your dad hailed from there!! Well, Peggy - I have been to Peggy's Cove way back when my family took a trip East and Peggy's Cove was one of our stops!! I thought it was so beautiful!! Just loved it!! The East Coast is so beautiful!!
Well, if you are named for Peggy's Cove, no wonder everything thing about you is so beautiful !!

What memories your card has brought to mind!! My sister spent last summer in Nova Scotia. I took all her photos and put them in a scrapbook for her. I used stamps and some images from RAKS I had received. She loved it and always shows it to her customers. She owns and operates a Day Spa. I love your story of your Dad and his home town. Would love to see it one day. I have never been to a light house and never lived by the shore and that life is so fascinating to me. I do visit from time to time. Thanks for the very insightful card Peggy. Also, your card for Mom came and I will give it to her this weekend. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness.
