Hello everyone,
It is definitely more like Fall here lately-in a week we went from hot and humid to turning on some heat to take the damp chill out of our house.
So, with the cooler temperatures I thought we should have some comfort food! Have you ever had sticky date pudding? It is so good.
I think this teaset is so pretty, but you know I love my dishes!
If any of you would like my recipe for this easy to make sticky date pudding you can click here.
I love this Royal Albert Rose Cameo Peach teacup that I bought at Winner's a couple of years ago.
What could be sweeter then a cup of tea,sticky date pudding and the Victoria magazine on a cooler day?
Some of these photos are from last year and some are new.
I have hundreds of these so I thought you might like a bouquet- if any of you live nearby and would like some to dry-come on over!
As it is Tuesday, I am joining in with Sandi again for TeaTime at Rose Chintz Cottage where lots of lovely ladies are joining in for a lovely tea.
Also, there is a delightful Victoria party at A Delightsome Life- I love this party as I am a big fan of Victoria and I have been inspired by this magazine in so many ways. I see they are coming out with a special Christmas issue called Christmas Cottage-I am looking forward to that one for sure!
I hope you all have a delightful day!

Thank you for visiting me,

Carolyn, you are so naughty, how can I lose weight when you keep serving such delicious sweet treats!!!Just looking puts on the pounds. Love the tea service.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite Autumnal here in the UK today, trying not to put the heating on yet, wearing more layers.
Have a great day,Jackie in UK.
Dearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteThis is surely a perfect fall-weather setting! Your sticky date pudding looks very tempting. I do have the little cake-forms exactly like you show in your lovely photos. Very romantic setting and it could be straight off Victoria's pages...
Sunny greetings from Georgia,

Ha, ha! Carolyn, it was a toss up for me whether to bake the Gingerbread or the Sticky Date Pudding! SDP is my absolute favourite but I did the gingerbread instead. Now you've got me craving the SDP; you are naughty! Love the tea set; such a lovely pattern. Your hydrangeas are exquisite! I'm looking forward to the Victoria Christmas magazine myself. Thanks for joining me for tea and I wish you a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Tout est, chez toi, d'un raffinement exquis... Ces roses, cette fine porcelaine, cette atmosphère sereine! Magnifique ! Vraiment !
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn! Oh, this is so pretty! Did you know your tea cup's roses look almost just like the roses in your pillow fabric?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your cooler weather. It's still so very hot here.
I love coming to see your gorgeous posts.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Hello Carolyn :) I have never heard of sticky date pudding, but it certainly looks quite tasty! Perhaps I may give it a try sometime :) Love your pretty cups and teapot. The weather here in Michigan is starting to cool down a bit too. It's only suppose to get in the mid to upper 60's this week, with rain predicted for Thursday. We haven't kicked on our furnace yet, but I believe that day is not too far off!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely Tea Tuesday!
Warmest hugs, Brenda
What a lovely tea you have prepared, Carolyn. That recipe sounds wonderful, I think I will try it. Lovely photos, your room looks so cozy. I wish I lived close enough to stop by for some flowers to dry.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy
I would have loved to join you with your lovely dishes and that delicious cake.
