Fair Scones

 I am having some camomile tea, fresh strawberries and a scone with Blueberry Lavender Jam.  A sweet blogging friend sent me the beautiful toile bookmark that she made.  The tulips send a cheerful message that Spring will soon be here.  I am using my Katie Alice mug that I received from Vee, at a teacup/mug exchange that Stephanie had, awhile back.  If you'd like to participate, Stephanie is having one again,  and you can read about it at The Enchanting Rose.

 No, these scones are not "fair" tasting, they are named "Fair Scones", dating back to the early 1900's.  The scones are a signature food attraction served at state and local fairs across the northwest. My dear friend/neighbor, who said these scones were always a favorite of hers,  brought me a box of the mix,  along with a jar of Blueberry Lavender Jam,  from her visit to Seattle.  The mix contains 4 cups and there was a recipe on the back for making waffles, besides the scones.  I decided to measure out 2 cups and make half scones and half waffles.  My son that is here with me,  came out when he smelled the homemade goodness drifting through the house,  and sampled the waffles with some strawberries on top.


              Maybe some of you from the Northwest have tried this wonderful mix?


I am sharing this with these lovely parties:

  2. Beautiful mug, perfect for a nice cup of coffee or tea. I like chamomile tea too. I buy the honey vanilla from Bigelow. Your scones look great, Kitty. So do the strawberries. This makes a nice breakfast or snack. Have a good week, Kitty!

  4. Kitty, this is a beautiful tea setting. I love it all. Love that darling mug you received from Vee, and I love your heart-shaped oil lamp. I've never seen anything like that! Your toile bookmark is so sweet; what a thoughtful gesture from your friend. It looks like many of us were on the same page this week when it comes to flowers; I have tulips on my table, too. :) I've seen at least four or five blog posts with tulips in the past few days. They are so cheerful, aren't they?

    Your scones look yummy -- I've never met a scone I didn't like. I hope you're staying warm and I hope you have a good week, my friend.

    Blessings,

  9. Your table looks so inviting, Kitty, with your beautiful tulips and all your sweet gifts from friends to brighten up a cold winter day. Here I am near Seattle and I have never tried the scone mix, but I will surely be looking for it now! How sweet to have your son visiting. It seems they appreciate home cooking the most, don't they? . <3 A hug for you xo Karen

  12. You've put together a sweet little tea table and I remember when you received your mug from Vee, it's pretty and holds a good amount of tea.
    I may have to check out the exchange as I haven't participated in one for a couple of years.
