Tea in the Woods

 

The weather is getting cooler, so we might need an afghan

with our tea today!  I'm using a few of my red transferware

dishes again today.

 

 

I love this teacup, it's one of my favorites!  This is the saucer below.

 

 

I guess they liked having tea outdoors back in 1792 also!  The saucer

depicts Kenilworth Castle, which was first built in the 1120's, and

then was added onto many times over the years.  Here's what it

looks like today.  Only two of the buildings are still habitable.

 

 

Here's the bottom stamp from the teacup,

if you care about things like that.  (:

 

I still have some roses blooming, so I picked a few

from our miniature pink rosebush for this little vase.

 

 

I'm enjoying some no bake cookies with my

chamomile tea today.  The recipe is below-

they are perfect if you're in a rush.

It was fun to sit out on the bench and watch the leaves fall

while I drank my tea.  I hope you all have a great week

and enjoy the beautiful fall weather!
