Hello My Lovely Tea Friends!
Welcome to
"Cinnamon Loaf and Tea!"
I do hope you survived another Hallowe'en and are eager to begin the new month of November.
On Hallowe'en we had a little family party. My precious grand daughter and my now family of 8 (which keeps growing) came over for a simple dinner of chili dogs and salad and I made my sis's awesome cinnamon loaf for dessert.
It was a success. The recipe made two loaves and there was barely enough left to share in my pics today. Lol. (The recipe is at the bottom of the post).
Thank you Sweet Sis!!
This is my darling baby lion grand daughter on Hallowe'en Eve.
Love her to pieces!!!
Today I am sharing a new to me opalescent Sadler teapot and two chintz teacups that you have seen before. Now I realize that I actually have 4 chintzy teacups. I had forgotten about these two pretties and found them in a little cupboard.
Do you know the make of the teacup?
I'm sure that Ruth at Antiques and Teacups will know.
Yes, you guessed it ~ it's a Shelley.
Whenever I look at my Shelley teacups I think of Ruth!

The other similar pastel coloured teacup is a Colclough.
(I don't know why this keeps happening)
Love pink and yellow together!

ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun looking at others people's tea wares. I have the same Shelley cup and saucer. Your new to you teapot is wonderful and will match so many pieces! Sounds like a fun time and that darling granddaughter!
What a sweet tea for today, Karne, but the sweetest of all is the darling picture of your little granddaughter! She is just precious!!
ReplyDeleteYour Sadler teapot is such a classic and goes so well with all your pretty chintz teacups. Thank you for the recipe for the cinnamon loaf! It looks wonderful, my friend.
Your tea-cups are beautiful, Karen. And thank you for the recipe. Anything with cinnamon works for me. :) Deb
ReplyDeleteOh, Karen, your little lion is adorable! She has such a sweet smile! Love the chintz and yes, I love the yellow and pink theme too. Your new Sadler is very pretty and the shape is lovely!

Happy first week of November, Karen! Your granddaughter makes an adorable lion. I survived fright night and enjoying the leftover rice krispies and goldfish crackers--I handed out "healthier" treats this year. Hee! I'm loving this week's yellow chintz teawares.
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow teapot with the roses on it! I never find ones that are pretty like that.
ReplyDeleteThe yellow teapot with roses is so pretty , and accompanies the Sadler teapot well. Such a lovely table tea setting !
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention, your little lion is a very pretty little lion cub.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little granddaughter! You must love her to pieces! The chintz is so pretty; I've never met a Shelley I didn't like! And mmm . . . homemade cinnamon bread sounds delicious! Happy belated Tea Day Karen!
