The other night as we were going in the house our new neighbors called over and said "are you baking any brownies"? I guess that is an indication that I have already spoiled them! This morning I baked some brownies so I'm guessing they will be happy!
I am sharing two teacups today which means one is for me and one for you! Pick which one you want for your tea.
The first one is an English Royal Albert with pink, burgundy and yellow roses. The other one is English Taylor and Kent and is hand painted with pink and yellow flowers. It is also numbered.
Please help yourself to one of these Chocolate Peppermint Brownies and if you would like the recipe it is HERE.
Winter time affords us the opportunity to catch up on reading and I have some teatime cookbooks here on the sofa I want to share with you! Nothing better than sharing recipes.
Last of all - we have new neighbors - that is BIRD neighbors. I looked up this morning and hawks are nesting two doors down in our greenbelt. Can you see the head at the top of the nest?
Hope your week is wonderful!

Hi Bernideen
ReplyDeleteI like the English thatched cottage teapot, and would choose the Taylor and Kent teacup for myself. Brownies are always a treat for me as I rarely bake them.
It will be exciting to watch the hawks in the trees, hope you can get more photos.

I can't choose!
ReplyDeleteWhat lucky neighbors!
You have set a charming tea, Bernideen. I love the thatch roofed cottage teapot! Lovely teacups too. I enjoy a brownie once in a while. Not too often because they are too addictive. You have interesting neighbors there in the trees! Thank you for joining me for my Anniversary Tea Party. You have been joining me almost from the very beginning and I'm so happy we've 'met' over tea! Have a lovely week, my friend.

Happy Tuesday Bernideen. Another brutally cold and snow filled day here in NJ. Where are the warmer sunny days??? Your teascape is lovely. Very cozy and warm. Perfect for a day like today. The doll is adorable.
ReplyDeleteKeep warm,
Janet
Oh yes, you are spoiling your neighbors, Bernideen, and I know they love it! I'd love to sit a spell and share some tea and a brownie with you. I'd take either cup and I love your cottage teapot. Thank you for hosting! xo
ReplyDeleteBlessings Bernideen! Well, I'm a big Royal Albert fan, so I would love to use that cup! And, YES - brownies always hit the spot. We can watch your new treetop neighbors while we sip our cuppa!
ReplyDeleteJoy!

Another lovely tea party, Bernideen. I like your cottage teapot, and I'll have my tea in the Royal Albert teacup! The peach colored roses are beautiful, and a reminder that spring will be coming. As for the brownies... they look delicious, but vicariously is the best way for me to eat them from a calorie perspective! ;-) I've linked to your blog on my post tomorrow. Thanks for hosting. ~ Phyllis
ReplyDeleteI did see the hawk.
ReplyDeleteLove the hand painted teacups a lot.
I was going to ask for the brownie recipe,
as they looked so good. Lucky neighbors.
I am heading over for the recipe now.
I am sure your friends really appreciate your lovely tea times. The tea pot cottage is wonderful! I have always kept an eye out for one of these. Your tea cups are perfectly vintage. I will take either one thank you, and I would love a brownie too : )
ReplyDeleteThank you for having me over for tea!
Hugs,
Terri
My goodness, Bernideen! What a wonderful tea you have set up. I hope the neighbors don't gobble all the brownies before I get there!;>) I am going to copy that recipe over. Mint and chocolate - you can't go wrong. I will take the English Royal Albert cup-love the roses on it. I did see that hawk-it is HUGE! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteSorry I was late to link up today. I had my family for dinner and was rushing around. Your cottage teapot is so dear and I love your pretty teacups today. Everything looks so pretty in your home ~ love your settee and chair and lovely white tablecloths. Wish I was there to try your peppermint brownies. I make them too! Thank you for hosting Friends Sharing Tea. Have a wonderful week! Karen
Oh the Taylor and Kent is simply lovely and looks unique to my eye. I've not seen any like it.
ReplyDeleteYour tea looks marvelous and the brownies sound fantastic! I do love Hawks! Truly - would love it if they nested in our trees! I do appreciate you sharing and hosting,
ReplyDeleteKathy
A delightful visit as always. Oh those lovely vintage linens!!! What a pretty tea scape. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteHi: I love your home. It looks so charming. I wish I was your neighbor, I would ask for brownies too. Love the tea cups you shared today. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful! I would have my tea in the English Royal Albert if I could choose! Nancy
ReplyDeleteYou make me think of Mr. Rogers singing, "Won't you please, won't you please, please won't you be ... my neighbor!"
ReplyDeleteYour roses and baby's breath arrangement is just beautiful! Love your teapot and the brownies look awesome!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty setting! Your brownies look delicious. Your neighbor could probably smell them from the oven, lol....Christine
