Like many of you, I like to settle in with a cup of tea and enjoy the new issue of Tea Time. The last few weeks have been crazy busy for me, but this week has been much calmer, and I finished my latest book edit yesterday, so now is the time for me to take a deep breath and catch up on the niceties of life … like Tea Time! I had to wait for this issue to arrive at Barnes & Noble since my subscription expired, and I'm waiting on them to offer me a sweet "deal" before I re-subscribe. This Red Velvet Peppermint Cake on the cover is just beautiful, and though I don't believe I've seen red velvet and peppermint paired before, they're actually a natural fit, aren't they?
I always love the page of featured teas in each issue, and I love to read about the teacups as well as the teas themselves. I would love to own a set of every single china pattern on this page!
And since it's not even Thanksgiving yet, I thought it was great that they featured a Thanksgiving tea as well. This brown transferware teapot is beautiful and reminds me of the many lovely ladies in tea-land who collect transferware.
Inspiration always comes from these pages. This time, it's something very simple. I have a cookie spritzer that makes these Christmas cookies in all the cute shapes, but I've never colored my dough. Now, I think I will. Thanks, Tea Time!
Glad you could relax a bit and enjoy this beautiful issue.
ReplyDeleteI had to decide whether to read or not to read Your post ; ) I too have let My subscription expire and this is a bad time of Year for that. I 'm glad You reminded Me to go buy the Christmas issue. Looking forward to a private quiet time of that luxury. Ok, I'm off to peek at Your post.Hugs to You-Denise

ReplyDeleteGreen colored sprinzer cookies will forever reminds me of my Auntie Phyllis!
ReplyDeleteI have gone to THREE stores looking for Tea Time Magazine....we even went to Barnes and Nobel last night after dinner to find one, to no avail - but I DID read every awesome magazine that caught my eye and - dare I say this- found myself a tiny bit Season Inspired? I am kind of a bit of a Grinch this year, hope it passes b/c the family depends on my Happy Joy-Filled Elven Spirit! LOL!
I think red velvet and peppermint is indeed a great pair- and my word, does it look great or what?
Hugs! ♥
When my magazine comes in the mail I do get excited for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteMy sister in law makes a peppermint red velvet cake. It is different than traditional but very good.
