Sunday Afternoon Transferware Tea

I hope you are enjoying a lovely

Sunday afternoon.

We are snuggled in by the fireside

this afternoon with a movie

and a cup of tea.

Using my Mason Vistas teacups

today.

Antique teapot that was

made in Japan.

                                                                          As many of you know I love
                                                                          transferware in all colors but
                                                                          my biggest collection is red
                                                                          and white.

                                                Well, back to my movie for now
                                                            but I hope to see you soon.

                                                                         Thank you for visiting!

Sweet November Tea

       Welcome November

   It is hard to believe it is November

already . The garden is almost all

     cleaned up for winter, the leaves are 

        falling and I am planting my bulbs for

early spring color.

    Veseys are having their bulb blowout

             sale again so I stocked ~it seems I always 

      buy more then I intend too but hard to

resist at $2. a bag!

   Anyway,after all that fun shopping it

    was time for a cup of tea and a sweet

     treat before starting to plant my bulbs.

                                                                  I made a pumpkin cinnamon cake for
                                                                  our tea today.

                                                             I love to use my brown and white
                                                             transferware in autumn and winter.

 I got the recipe for this cake here

but I took a short cut and made 

 the cake without the streudel and

glaze. 

   Tea time

                                               Wishing you all sweet November
                                                          days!

                                                           Thank you for visiting me.
