A warm welcome to all

The sun was shining Sunday morning when I awoke, a nice change to be sure!  I decided to take the opportunity to photograph my tea table.  

My tea table is small because our home is staged for selling

A teacup from my mom's collection

Hand made pearl necklace

Antique pearl brooch 

I must retire these items.

The cupcake is a bath bomb.

The chocolate bon bon holds lip loss.

So cute!

We'll be serving scones and marmalade.

Proverbs 20:27

The human spirit is the lamp of the LORD that sheds light on one’s inmost being.

This beautiful plant does well in the hot summer

and adapts to indoors in the autumn

METHOD

Wash and clean oranges, chop (remove pits if any)

Weigh oranges and add equal weight of sugar

Place in a large pot (if the fruit is dry add a little water),

Boil rapidly then reduce heat a little (be careful or it will boil over- big sticky mess)

Skim off rising scum

Drop small amount to test on a cold plate until jam gels

Remove from heat and when cooled a little fill,  *prepared jars 

Note!

Always ensure that the jars are clean, preheated and standing on wooden surface during filling.

Allow to stand and cool a little before closing securely.

~ I encourage you to stop by and savour another cup of tea while you enjoy her pretty vignettes.

The more the fun!

We don't want to miss a single teacup or teapot!

38th, Teapot And Tea Things Tuesday; marmalade

Welcome to....

38th,  Teapot And Tea Things Tuesday

Each small task of everyday life is part
of the total harmony of the universe.

                                                                                                         St. Therese of  Lisieux

A warm wintery welcome to all of  you.  I am pleased to be part of the festivities this week as I am well.  I hope you are well too!

Do  you sometimes dream of  lounging in a luxurious bed, clothed in an etheral gown, eating the best pastries and fruits as you read your favorite books?  I do.  But the reality this week for me, was a mound of rumpled bed linens , wound around a limp flannel-gowned body, nibbling on toast and tea , one hand on the remote.  Quiet time but not enjoyable.  I am now attending to the daily tasks at hand, just enjoying each moment.

While you settle yourself  in a cozy chair I will set off to the kitchen to boil the water for the tea.  Its tea and toast today.  What do you prefer on your toast?  Friends have shared a jar of homemade marmalade.  The oranges are from their orange tree, which grows in their bay window.   I will be inquiring about ingredients and technique and share it with you.

GOOD Morning Sunshine

I may not be awake or do I need those

glasses more than I thought?

Mismatched cream and sugar??? and I didn't

notice until my shoot was done

They look quite cute

An amazing vibrant orange jam

Placed butter and marmalade on a mirror to protect the table.

Thank you for sharing your time and talents with all of us.

~ I encourage you to stop by and savour another cup of tea while you enjoy her pretty vignettes.

The more the fun!

TEAPOT AND TEA THINGS TUESDAY #4:

Welcome kind friends to the 4th,

 'TEAPOT AND TEA THINGS TUESDAY'!.., 

 I am so glad that you stopped by.  Find a comfy chair in the garden while I pour the tea and place some sweet treats on a pretty plate.

Wanda and I want to thank you all for your kind words and your beautiful contributions the last few weeks.  I have been humbled and inspired by each of your table settings, precious tea treasures and kind comments. It is wonderful to hear the sweet memories that some of you have shared surrounding your china.

I look forward to seeing your creative adventures in pictures this week.


I was inspired by the sunshine that we enjoyed this weekend and chose yellow to inspire my post. ( See Friday's post..."Two days of sun and I don't have to wear 2 layers of clothes, it was a fantastic weekend. If I have spent time with family and friends it was the best weekend".)

There aren't any special memories that I can recall connected to these cups.  I think they have come from at least 3 different family members. It's not where they came from that unites them but what they have in common (how they compliment each other.) I try to think the same way about family and friends. Its not what family we were born into but the relationships we cultivate between each of us and the way we inspire each other .

Vingette in Yellow

Bluebird of Happiness, perhaps?

I love butterflies!

Four lovely teacups

Vibrant

Demure

Regal

A yellow rose for friendship

"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."

Ecclesiastes 4: 9,10


"A friend is one who strengthens you with prayers, blesses you with love and encourages you with hope."



If you have a moment to leave a comment I will reply as soon as I can.  I am glad you stopped by. I may see you at the following blogs.
