For the gracious gift of family and friends, Father, we thank You!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!
Welcome friends for tea and another Tea Time Tuesday....
We had snow on the weekend. Thankfully, it has melted. The only kind of snow I want to see right now is this kind; the kind that you apply yourself to ornaments and birdhouses!
This birdhouse had been part of a centerpiece I made years ago.
It's too early for snow, but settling in with a hot cup of tea and some goodies is just lovely! Don't you agree? While all my American friends are preparing for Thanksgiving, I'm preparing for Christmas. You see, we Canadians celebrated our Thanksgiving in October.
It's time to nestle in and stoke the fires of home. Are you seeing blue?
The patterns are different but no matter, they still go well together.
Royal Homes of Britain is the pattern of the teacup made by Enoch Wedgwood of England.
This centerpiece was a birthday gift from a friend a few years ago. I bring it out every Christmas season. It is so pretty with its blue and white flowers, little deer, and pinecones!
Try adding a little maple syrup to your cup for a sweet touch of Autumn in your tea.
The Blue Willow plates as well as the red plates are made by Churchill of England. The two red plates were also a gift from a friend.
Are you hungry? I have a nice plate of crackers and cheese to accompany our tea today. This is one of the favourites on Bible Study night. So simple, yet so good!
Cream Cheese with Hot Pepper Jelly
Place 4 oz. of cream cheese in a dish
Microwave 3-4 tablespoons of hot pepper jelly for a few seconds and pour over the cream cheese.
Sometimes I sprinkle a few bits of red and yellow peppers on the top.
Serve with an assortment of crackers. Yummy!
He isn't overly fond of carrot cake but he did enjoy a piece of this. I like to heat it up just a bit so the icing dribbles down the sides.
A cup of tea and Victoria magazine is a wonderful way to spend some quiet time. The new issue is simply brimming with all kinds of lovely photos and stories; lots of ideas for the upcoming season to incorporate into your own home. Isn't this cake on the cover of Holiday Bliss, pretty?
