Sunflower Tea Time






Hello everyone,
It's been awhile since I have written a post.  If this is your first time visiting,
I love to write about tea time, traveling and family.  A few years ago, I would 
cook and bake up a storm, but my husband has diabetes and sugar has been removed
from our diet.  I have been publishing a tea time every month this year to 
use for my 2918 Tea Time calendar coming on sale in November.
This month is all about Sunflowers. I found the beautiful Sunflowers at the grocery store, and I have my favorite place in my dining room for tea time photography.  The tea table is covered with a vintage tablecloth from the thrift store.
The Franciscan teacups and saucers are a thrift store find also. 
The Sunflower napkin rings are from the thrift store. My great-grandmother's
tea spoon is ready to stir a cup of tea.  I love to find great vintage items and bring
them home to treasure for my lifetime. Our dining room faces the South, and the
bright sun is not the natural light I would love to use for my calendar,
 so I use the cafe curtains while I photograph Tea Time.

The French Country teapot I purchased in Brookings, Oregon while  I 
was touring the Oregon Coast during 2008. 
I have a little news about our weather.  We had a shower of rain last Thursday, and
the fires and smoke are much less this week.  The triple-digit temperatures are
 gone for a week or so.    Forcast is beautiful weather for the first day of Autumn
on September 22, 2017.

Thanks for visiting My Cozy Corner
Joyously,
Betty

Labor Day Celebration and More

Hello everyone,
Heat and Smoke are the themes for this week.  We have 
had triple digit temperatures for over two weeks, and now
we are surrounded by fires.  It is so bad we can
smell the smoke in our house. But we don't have it as
bad as Texas.  I want to send prayers to everyone, who is 
suffering from the devastation of the Hurricane. 
My other prayers are for everyone traveling on this
long holiday weekend. 
At the beginning of this summer, I decorated our patio with a 
patriotic theme.  I received "God Bless America" patriotic
plaque for my birthday in June. 
Fourth of July I decorated my swing and lounge chair with
a Stars and Stripes comforter and shams. 

My granddaughter and I made two pillows from scarfs I found at
Walmart.  I taught my granddaughter how to put a zipper in the
bottom of the each pillow. I have noticed sewing for young girls
is not taught in our public schools.  The art of sewing is
an art I wish was still encouraged as an elective in
high school.  
Thanks for joining me today.
Joyously,
Betty
