Two Little Teapots and Tea

Welcome Dear Teacup Friends to

"Two Little Teapots and Tea!"

Have you ever worried that you may have an addiction to pretty china?

Well, I think I do. I'm especially tempted by pastel pink and dainty blue pieces.

And lately it's teapots that I just can't say no to! Well, some are just too pretty to resist and when the price is a cup of coffee/tea out then why not treat yourself and have a cup at home?

This little darlin' was $5.00. It's a Royal Park Staffordshire England.

The other wee one is an Arthur Wood.

It was $3.00.

I thought a little yellow cake would be nice with our tea today. No icing so it's not too sweet.

This is the only Clarence brand China teacup Made in England that I have in my collection.

Have you seen Clarence china before?

It blends quite nicely with the tiny Arthur Wood teapot.

Thank you Dear Friends for stopping by to see

"Two Little Teapots and Tea!"

See you next week Sweet Teacup
(and Teapot) Friends!

Cinnamon Loaf and Tea

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.
