Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Pumpkin Time

Well, here it is pumpkin time again and I am so excited! I LOVE anything pumpkin (except cold pumpkin soup!)  I really want to put together a cook book all about pumpkin.....sigh......one day, I hope. I recently made a double batch of pumpkin bread and used the most amazing pan, I borrowed it from my dear friend Sue (she got it from her husband for their anniversary) It came from WILLIAMS-SONOMA  It made the most beautiful loaf of pumpkin bread I have ever seen!  The detail is amazing and it popped right out of the pan! I was amazed 

(even though it don't take much to amaze me) it really was awesome!

 So I just wanted to share the beginning of my months of pumpkin. Today I am sitting down to a cup of Earl Grey tea and a delicious slice of sweet moist pumpkin bread!

 What are your favorite sweets for fall? 

 I Would love to hear from YOU!

 Hello friends! 

Hope everyone is doing well! 

I had a little summer tea I wanted

to share with all of you.

 

I made cold Chicken Pasta Salad in bread bowls,

and served Earl Grey Tea in the basket weave white teacups

 and Pink Lemonade in martini glasses

with sprinkles around the rim. 

  I also made Chocolate Chip scones that were just wonderful! 

The party favors were so cute! I got the idea from

 celebrations at home 

I put 2 thumbprint cookies with blackberry jam inside

the yellow check gingham (large teabag.)

 Each guest had a button bouquet that would make anyone smile!

I saw the idea on Pinterest Here 

I did mine a little different; I doubled my wire and added

shiny beads to the stem and center of the flower. 

This was so fun! Hope you did something fun this week too!

Tea-on-Tuesday June 19 2012

Hello my friends!

This is my new teacup! It is so sweet! I bought it at a 

Royal Albert store in Texas, the pattern is called Polka Rose.

I made some Lemon Tea Cakes in those tiny tins

that you find in antique stores. I now have quite the collection

of them from yard sales and friends. 

Hope everyone is having a wonderful

Tea-on Tuesday!

 

 Memorial Day!

Please Thank a solider and his/her family today!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you that played any a part in a child's life! You don't have to give birth to be a mom. Sometimes we just need to be the person a child can depend on and be there when needed. Hope you have a fabulous day!
