October Tea Time

Hi friends,

I've been busy with my new computer this past week. And now

it's time for tea. The past couple of years I have been making

  tea time calendars as Christmas gifts for friends and family. 

The 2017 calendar will feature this photo for the month of September.

I wanted to feature my tea cup caddy and my chocolate pudding trifle.

I planted a few white gladiolus bulbs and

was delighted to have them bloom for 

this post.  

This Thursday I will be hosting a tea party for the
Altar Guild from my church. During the holidays
we have increased duties to perform. The Altar Guild
is responsible for providing clean linens, fresh flowers
and decorating the church for Advent and Christmas.
 Rain is in the forecast for Thursday afternoon, but
 we will be cozy in the dining room enjoying lunch and tea.

I have several tea sets, and I will be using this one and the teapot too.

For dessert. I will serve,

lemon squares

apple cheesecake with caramel sauce

and

brownies with chocolate candy bars melted on top.

Fall is a delightful time of the year to 

host a friendly get-together. 

 Thank you for visiting, and please

come back soon.

Joyously,

Betty
