Biscotti & Tea
I have never made biscotti before, but this fantastic recipe from The Monday Box blog for Cinnamon Red Hot Biscotti Cookies peaked my interest to give it a shot. I already had cinnamon imperials in my pantry from some Christmas cookie recipes, so this was perfect. The dough was quite wet and heavy and tricky

Christmas Leftovers
We had a quiet and calm Christmas, which was just fine with us after the year we’ve had. Today I enjoyed the last of the goodies my friend Deb made and sent me from NY and a large pot of Lapsang Souchong tea in my Winterberry teapot. I am blessed to have such thoughtful friend,

Christmas Corner
My little Christmas Corner becomes even more festive when a tray of tea and Christmas cookies adorn the ottoman. The pastel mini-lights on the 4’ flocked tree really jump off the many, many silver ornaments. A strong pot of Fortnum & Mason’s Christmas Black Tea makes a nice compliment to the sweetness of my simply-decorated,

All the Spice
It was a spicy day with warm autumn flavors. I whipped up a small batch of cinnamon-apple muffins and enjoyed a small pot of Sweet Orange Spice tea from Tea Torté. My Courtly Check teapot and mug from Mackenzie-Childs kept things VERY toasty and added a nice pop of pattern. A hot pot of tea,

Tea & Crates
While putting some things away for the summer, I ran across some vintage wooden crates in one of our sheds. After bushing them off, they make a terrific backdrop and base for my autumn decor. Along with some cookies, a cup of winter chai, a wee lighted lantern, and some pumpkins and gourds. ‘its the

Autumn Cozy
All the autumn feels were a buzz while enjoying a cup of Winter Chai from Tea Forté outside on a sunny afternoon. Two adorable mummy cookies from Starbucks and a piece of cinnamon coffee cake completed the cozy vibe. Pumpkins, firewood, vintage marshmallow tin, fallen leaves, mums, red lantern, and a brand new autumn-like mug.
