A FALL "TEA IN THE GARDEN"

We are so happy to experience lower

temperatures here in Missouri.

There isn't a lot of visual evidence of fall

yet in my yard.  I dread all the leaves that

will be falling across the back of our

yard but that hasn't happened yet.

I have found myself saying these things

late: "I think I'll bake some brownies."  Well, I did do that yesterday!  I have also said "I think  I'll make some gingerbread" and "I think I'll bake a pumpkin pie."   It's a good thing I'm at 8 weeks now of walking an hour a day.  

I do have these lovely brownies and I have

shared a link to Brenda's recipe before and 
you
 can get it here in the link if you like.

The teapot is a very old lusterware
English Sadler.

We might even get some rain tonight
and that would be wonderful.

I just saw this video maker in
my photo editing so I decided
to try it.  I never understand
these things but if they
work - sure!

I hope you have a lovely week!

TEA COZIES

Just sharing a few tea cozies

Happy Saturday!

RALPH LAUREN FABRIC TEA COZY

Today I am sharing one of my

tea cozies I just got made:

The percale fabric is an olive green with big

cabbage roses. This is a large cozy which
would fit an 8 cup teapot or one that
holds around 48 Oz's of tea.

 I wish I had roses in my

garden right now but I seem to be the "Queen

of Zinnia's" if there is such a title!

If you are interested in

a tea cozy:  click here!

I also have other
 sizes in this
fabric:

THOUGHTS OF FALL for "Tea In The Garden"

Welcome to a little tea time outdoors

where we are loving our cooler weather.

I am happy to see fall finally coming

along.  I love to bake so the idea

of muffins and pumpkin related goodies

thrills my heart.

I have been pulling out all my fall 

related recipes.  That means anything with

 apples of course.  Also, there will always be

 lots of hot tea to enjoy and especially

 the flavors

with all the spices.

And what would fall be without

more enjoyable weather.  Yes,  we

certainly are ready for that here

in Missouri.  Just being able to 

sit outside and have a cup of tea 

is delightful!

Will you be planting any bulbs this fall?

I just purchased some for my garden.

I hope you have a lovely week

and enjoy some of pleasures of fall!

SUNDAY AT HOME

THINKING FALL NOW

Hello dear blogging friends!

Are you thinking fall yet?  It

is still plenty hot in Missouri but

yesterday I did begin taking out

fall decorations, etc.

I usually change this armoire several times

over the summer but this time I just

left my chintz out on display all summer.

 Last Saturday I invited 3 ladies for lunch.

These are ladies I met through blogging

and Facebook before I ever moved to

Missouri and they are great fun!

I made a new tablecloth with some French

Pierre Deux fabric I found on Ebay.

New Friends:  Karen,  Janice and Gina

I also am happy to have my Quartz

kitchen counters done and a new

under mount sink.

 It seems the popularity 

of the link party has diminished. 

So with that I have decided

not do link parties anymore.

I WILL CONTINUE TO BLOG.

I will continue to check out other

bloggers and also hope you will

continue to come visit me!  I 
want to thank each of you who
have faithfully participated here
for a very long time!
