Today, after the long and ridiculously hot weekend, I'm back in my much cooler dining room with a few orphans. Orphans, (coined by Nathalie, another Tea Tuesday participant), because nothing matches except the place-mat and napkin which remind me of May flowers. What a perfect way to end the month of May. I'm having green tea from a cup that has no saucer, and and a saucer that has no matching cup. On the royal blue plate are two banana apple (or is that apple banana?) muffins I made yesterday using small cake pans.Can you believe this year is nearly half over? I sure can't. Be sure to visit Kimmie for the links to other Tea Tuesday participants, although I still can't leave a comment to anyone who doesn't have a pop-up window, regardless what I try. And please stay for a muffin, if you like. I have plenty.
we both have something in common this week....the heat :))
ReplyDeleteI'd love that muffin....:))
happy Tuesday!!
Love the house too....I can imagine you making paste papers and all your other experiments...missed those too....
When I looked at the calendar this morning, I couldn't believe that we're half way through the year! Where did the time go!!! Elizabeth, I just love your "orphan tea". Everything looks beautiful because it was created with a loving hand! Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeleteHeat seems to be a theme so far for T today...and you baked!!!
ReplyDeleteYour orphan tea is charming and very inviting...I am drawn to mismatched china pieces...
Yes, WHERE has this year gone!
Stay cool and Happy T Tuesday!
oxo
Why on Earth did you bake when it was HOT!! Don't get me wrong...I enjoy baked goods but geesh! Don't run the oven. :)
ReplyDeleteI like your orphans...they look like a match made in heaven.
muffins & tea with you would be lovely, thank you! hope you are able to stay cool, and have a creative day!
ReplyDeleteApple and banana muffins sound delicious ... And I have three brown bananas waiting to be baked into SOMETHING :)
ReplyDeleteMuffins and orphans is such a sweet title to your post. Oliver Twist would surely be asking for more .... And I am certain your kind hearted self would happily oblige him!
I don't know about your commenting troubles .... I think blogger is still suffering some bugs since their Friday the thirteenth challenges. Hope things get straightened out soon!!
Happy Tuesday and stay cool and out of any storms!
oh my yes, hot!!! and more tornadoes and hail, ugh... love your orphans... fun post E.... I checked and there is no reason why you cannot post, must be a blogger issue! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the muffin. Incredibly, I can't get your new posts to log in my reader, so it seems that comments restoration is causing trouble with other things..urgh.
ReplyDeleteOh yum yum yum... your tea table looks delish indeedy!! I love the concept of the orphans... what a lovely way to be able to continue using pretty things! Oh yes, and a mini muffin loaf sounds just the thing.... I'll have one!!
ReplyDeleteI love the heat and I love mis-matched things. Enjoy your snack!
ReplyDeleteHappy T on T
Peace~

I drink tea several times a day.....not just Tuesday !
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth, happy Tea Tuesday, those muffins sound and look delish. Your weather sounds very crazy at the moment, I hope you are no where near those horrendous tornados. No tea post from me again this week, but I love visiting you gals and I do love your beautiful place mat and napkin and I also love that your cup has found a friend and that your saucer is no longer lonely. XX
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a quiet moment for a hectic day! May I join you?
ReplyDeleteWe ARE supposed to take care of orphans! So good for you!
Ciao Bella!
