Over the holidays I was invited
to have lunch with tea at Janice's
home...it was great fun. She blogs
at "Curtains In My Tree" This is
my kitchen table below where I am
enjoying tea now. Also, you see,
your cup is poured too!

Janice introduced me to some
books I had not heard about before
but immediately wanted.
books I had not heard about before

The books are called "The Gathering
of Friends" and there are 7 volumes filled
with recipes and decorating ideas.
They are $32.50 each but I ordered a
used set on ebay.

Let's take a few minutes
and check out Volume One:
There are wonderful recipes
to make and decorating ideas
and table settings. I could sit here
for hours just absorbing. I think
wintertime is perfect for books.

If you want to bake my brownies -
they can be found here by Brenda
at Coffee Tea Books and Recipes.
I make these often.

ReplyDeleteI have never heard of the books, but I certainly do like the idea of "gathering friends." Beautiful photography on this post.
ReplyDeleteBernideen, what a lovely set of books - I'm just a wee bit envious (in the nicest possible way!). Your posts are always so beautiful, I feel as if I've actually been to tea after I visit!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to share a cup of tea and a brownie with you, dear Bernideen, and look st your new books. I have looked at a couple of those and know that I would love them.
ReplyDeleteHopefully I can join your tea party before too long.
Those books look amazing.. Have so much fun planning your teas!!!!
ReplyDeleteI adore the brown and pink teapot. I think I had read at sometime that it was a Sadler. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty tea setting today.The brown betty rosebud Sadler is gorgeous. I actually found one while treasure hunting. Your Tuscan teacups are so beautiful with it. The books look so interesting too. I would like to make your brownies but hubby is on a diet so I guess I better not. Thank you for hosting Friends Sharing Tea! Blessings, Karen
