The kitchen at our house is the perfect
spot for tea because there is a fireplace
we turn on with the flip of a switch.
Sometimes we walk in the door and
that's the first thing to happen to take
the chill out of the air.
So let's enjoy a cup of tea and a little
cherry tart. You can make up the recipe for
the butter shells and freeze them so they
are ready to use when you need them.
and here. I recommend you make them
up on a day when you really don't plan
to need them. Then, freeze them taking
out whatever you need for your occasion.
Today I just put some canned cherry pie filling in these with a little whipped
cream on top but of course you could
make your own various types of filling.
The recipe in the link actually makes
around 100 shells in the mini muffins
tins.

We were at the market today and I
found some sweet flowers. Please pour
yourself a cup of tea. Winter is really
just getting started so this is a good time
to think about some indoor hobbies or
crafting. Perhaps you like to bake.
There are so many things to keep us busy.
What a beautiful table setting. The flowers on the tea pot match rather well with the bouquet. I have a large cross stitch project I thought I would start this winter. However, I have spent more time trying to read instead. Just can't get in the mood, I think because the weather has been just clear enough and raining that I don't feel like snowy weather indoor projects.
ReplyDeleteHello and thank you for this post. It really brightened my day. Your tea set and table is is lovely. Have a warm as cozy day and thanks again for sharing. xo, V.
ReplyDeleteYour Johnson Bros set is so pretty, Bernideen. Yes, I’d love to pull up a chair, pour a cup nod tea and have a tart by your cozy fire. Have a cozy week!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Bernideen! My, what a sweet post! Those little tarts are lovely and make a delightful tea time! Your table looks so pretty with the tablecloth on it. My hubby gets annoyed if I leave the table cloth on. So, I generally take my pictures and then put the table cloth away. *giggles* Have to keep the guys happy, don't we? I'm outnumbered too because when my family is here, they don't like the tablecloth either. Men!! Lol I have copied your recipe for the tart shells. It would be nice to have some ready for use in a pinch! Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful January.
