A cup of tea isn’t merely a drink: It’s the history of the world itself.

This recipe produces a lovely, light scone, typical of those served at afternoon teas all across the UK.

Hello everyone, Today I am sharing some of my red and white transferware teacups for show and tell Friday at My Romantic Home. I love transferware in all colors but my biggest collection is of red and white. I have just picked up a piece here and there over the past several years so as usual it is mix and match. I love to have different ways to display them. Some of my teapots got in on the act! This display of teacups hangs on my kitchen wall. I hope you enjoyed my red and white teacups and next week I will show you my collection of other transferware teacups. Thank you Cindy at My Romantic Home for hosting Show & Tell Friday again. Have a great weekend, Carolyn

It is time for the September Tea/Garden Journal. The garden is now down to just a few enjoyable flowers and herbs. We had a very wet year here with fungus and pests that were a problem. In my garden today I have zinnias, mums, rosemary, crabapples, and the lavender is having it's second bloom. September always seems like a romantic month to me. It is where summer gives us it's last kiss and fall ushers in the coziness of cooler temps. It was sunny in this window a few minutes ago and when the clouds rolled over I started taking my pictures. I always will prefer cloudy moody shots over bright sun. I love the way the light is coming through this beautiful lace curtain. Lace curtain provided by Heritage Lace. My teacup today is a brown transferware pattern called Charlotte made by Royal Staffordshire. The teapot is adorned with oak leaves on it's top that remind me of fall. Teapot made by Home Essentials. My book is The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden. Thank you to Heritage Lace for sponsoring me and providing these Coventry Lace Curtain panels.

Since the season of winter is still going on, having ginger tea on a regular basis is a sure shot strategy to stay healthy.

Here are a few British-themed recipes from Stir It Up! for fans of "Downton Abbey" gearing up for season three.

Now that Downton Abbey season 2 is over, we’re all waiting with bated (pun intended) breath to see what will happen in season 3. Until then, enjoy a little break from the action…and enjoy one of these cocktails inspired by characters from your favorite British drama. It was my ambition to create cocktails for all three Crawley sisters (because original cocktails for the whole cast, while admirable, might be a bit daunting).

Welcome Downton Abbey fans. We are all now in Downton Downtime. UK fans just finished a lovely meal of Season 3, and now waiting for the dessert course: the Christmas Special. Meanwhile, North Americans are still waiting to be seated for the Season 3 service. Appetizers in the form of a special recap episode (Downton Abbey Revisited) […]
