I have been a bit absent lately but I was finishing up getting our home ready
for Christmas and today I was having some good friends in for a Christmas
Tea.
I was asked for the recipe of my pecan butter balls in the picture on my headerso I thought I would share it with all of you (on the 2nd line it should sat 1/2 cup
icing sugar).
Speaking of friends ~ Lauriane who came to visit us and our garden all the way
from Rio De Janeiro a few years ago did a lovely feature on my new Christmas
book today. Thank you so much,Lauriane - check it out here.
Tomorrow, I am going to see the play A Christmas Carol with my daughter
and grandson and in the evening we are hosting our annual Christmas pizza
party with all our family ~ lots of fun!
I am joining BTNOTP for Tablescape Thursday today.
Thank you for visiting me today.

Oh my goodness Carolyn, I am just now finding out about your books. How in the world did I miss that!! I am thrilled and am putting one on my wish list now.

Carolyn I am so lucky to be considered one of your friends and to benefit from the beauty of your home when I visit. The ladies are all very special, thank you for bringing us together for this scrumptious tea. It was just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI often dream of having friends such as these, but alas it just never happened. It is beautiful to see these smiling faces and your beautiful table.

Your table is so beautiful and so wonderful to share with good friends. You can never go wrong with transferware and red is my favorite to collect.

Your tea looks delightful, Carolyn! What a wonderful hostess you are! Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I am studying these pictures carefully for ideas to use with my red transferware. This is so beautiful I might use the red TW for my Christmas dinner table rather than my usual Christmas dishes -- thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post Carolyn! I enjoyed seeing the photo's of your lunch. The ladies all look so pretty! Your table too. Wish I could have been one of them :-)
ReplyDeleteA Happy Christmas to you, Andrew and your family!
Love,

This tea with friends looks so wonderful. As another commenter said, I don't have friends such as these, they are all very far away. I've never had a tea like this. Thanks for posting the recipe and your kind comments on my blog. I didn't know you have books either..will have to look into it. blessings, lady

Heather always looks so glamourous, even when she's pouring tea! You two are like movie-star sistas!!! Lol I am enjoying her painting of your home. It is a treasure...What a talented pair the two of you are - a dynamic duo, for certain.
ReplyDeleteYour pudding looks yumdillyscrumptious (just made that up). Ha! And, I really like those angelic paper napkins. You know I love the details! And, those sconessssss....
It looks like you had the best afternoon. A real Christmas gathering of angels on earth... Merry Christmas to you, Carolyn, and all your dear friends. XOXO
