Some Scottish Treats
Our annual trip to the Maine Highland Games & Scottish Festival this year needed to include a special purchase. A few months ago I shattered my wee Scottish Tain Pottery teacup after it slipped and fell from an Adirondack chair out on the deck. I was heartbroken. My favorite Scottish pottery was missing a piece!…

Saturday Tea
It’s just a tick cooler out today and the perfect temperature to enjoy some tea out on the deck. I went out and cut some flowers from the garden for a wee bouquet. Not much to choose from at the moment as all the daisies are almost gone by and the entire garden is kind…

An Early Summer Tea
I love weekend mornings when I don’t NEED to do anything or be anywhere and can enjoy the beautiful area we live in. That usually means tea out on the deck if the weather cooperates. Well, this weekend has been a stellar example of perfect summer weather on both days and I took Sunday morning…

Outlander Scones and Tea
When my husband and I met in 1998, he was reading a book called OUTLANDER by Diana Gabaldon. He told me about it and said it was very good. I was living in New York at the time and he in Maine. So we both read it around the same time and were hooked on…

An Easter Tea

A Sweatheart Tea
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and I was in the mood for sweets and tea. Enjoyed a lovely, loose peppermint tea from Upton Tea Imports, some home-made, heart-shaped peanut butter cookies, some hand-dipped chocolate covered strawberries, and a raspberry filled, heart-shaped donut. Yes…it’s a LOT of sugar, but it was soooo good. I pulled out one…

Comforts of Home
It is now past Christmas and I didn’t do any christmas tea photo shoots. I DID enjoy tea very often and did overeat, however. I just didn’t record it for posterity. After a very busy first week back at work after the holiday break, I found myself sickly on the weekend. My dear husband offered to…
