Afternoon Tea at MJT.....

~~~~~
How are you?
Once again, time has flown since we last spoke, my friends
I have just spent a very happy week
doing some of the wonderful everyday things in life that I love most....
family time...baking...gardening...lots of Spring cleaning...
with plenty of laughter along the way...
I am suddenly feeling unusually organised and full of fresh inspiration!

.....Baking.....
It's just so good for the soul.....don't you think?
(whether you be the baker or the sampler!)
My kitchen is definitely one of my most favourite places these days...
full of all things good

I made these pretty 'Butterfly Cakes'
from a recipe in the irresistable
for an afternoon treat yesterday....
(A pretty plate of cakes and the clinking of tea in china cups ...
I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon...)
I will be back to my knitting next week lovely friends
and there will also be news of a new
'MJT Giveaway!'

Until then,
I hope life is kind to you
wherever you may be...
have a great weekend doing all the things
you most love to do...

  6. Drinking tea from china cups, home made cakes the only way to have afternoon tea and your cakes look delicious. Enjoy your weekend.
