Autumn Tea Time

Hello Everyone, 

Autumn is a wonderful time of year to enjoy tea.

The days are cooler and the autumn colors are appearing in the garden. My father was an avid duck hunter and when I spotted these Johnson Bros tea cups and saucers it reminded me of my childhood.  

 Every year during hunting season my father would go duck hunting or pheasant hunting and bring home beautiful Mallard Ducks and Pheasants for dinner. 

It was a very special treat to have roasted wild game for dinner on a cold fall evening.  

I found the cups and saucers at a local thrift shop few weeks ago. 

The pattern is called 'BROOKSHIRE' and has a charming multi motif pattern.

The pattern is decorated with  beautiful detailed birds and feather designs. 

 The tea cup and saucer are nested in a grapevine wreath with the grape tendrils winding around the saucer and the plate.  

Finger Sandwiches with creamy egg salad are and integral part of every tea. I love the look of this tea sandwich made with 3 bread slices for each sandwich. The sandwich is cut vertically into 4 finger sandwiches. The egg salad triangles are garnished with fresh minced parsley from my herb garden.  

The Pheasant trivet has been around My Cozy Corner for over 40 years.
And the Autumn Sedum is a perfect addition to my Autumn Tea time. 

I garnished the plate with a few sprigs of Italian parsley for decoration. The creamy egg salad has an extra burst of flavor from minced red onion and sweet pickle relish.  

The egg salad recipe is courtesy of Tea Time magazine September/October 2012

The egg salad sandwiches can also be made into spirals. I'm in the process of testing recipes for my annual Christmas tea.  And this egg salad recipe is going to be on the menu. It's so delicious.

A simple white tea pot, a rustic crock with fall flowers, plus charming foul tea cups and saucers and dainty tea sandwiches are the essence of this Autumn Tea. 

I hope you have enjoyed your visit to My Cozy Corner today.

I will be joining some wonderful bloggers to share my Autumn Tea Time.
