It was a rainy, dreary day on Saturday and I did my teatime inside.
After that I couldn't do my post because I had to wait for my son to figure out what was going on with my laptop. He's wonderful in being my techie support, but I have to wait until he's not sleeping. I'm thankful that he can figure these issues out!
I thought this cheery teacup that my friend Rosie gave me from her mom's collection was perfect on a rainy day.
My cute vintage cottage teapot that I bought from ebay severals ago is a nice complement to my teacup. My son, Mike, also had to paint the bottom right corner because the teapot came with a chunk out of the corner. He did an excellent job in creating a new corner and painting it to match, and it has held up so well. He painted the birdie picture that's above my sofa.
My daughter-in-law, Julie, had a birthday on Saturday and I took a pan of these cinnamon rolls over to her. They were a big hit. I used my hot cross buns recipe, but left out the spices and the dried fruit in the dough. Instead I rolled out the dough and made a paste of 1 stick of softened butter , 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, and spread that onto the dough, rolled it up, and sliced into 12 cinnamon rolls. The cream cheese frosting that I used on my Carrot Cake Scones, was spread on top of the rolls after they were cool.
Thank you for your visit! xo

Happy Monday Kitty! Mike did an excellent repair and paint job on your adorable cottage teapot… I would never know it was repaired! Such a pretty teacup and your cinnamon rolls look and sound delicious! You have me craving cinnamon rolls now. 😊 Happy Birthday wishes to Julie. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead ♥
ReplyDeleteMike is such a talented artist. I didn't even notice that your cottage teapot had been repaired. The cheery sunflowers teacup definitely brighten up a rainy day!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a great baker Kitty!!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious! I love cinnamon rolls.
ReplyDeleteOh those cinnamon rolls look good Kitty! Wish I had one with my cuppa now:@)
ReplyDeleteYour cinnamon rolls would be a great birthday present in my book, Kitty, so it doesn't surprise me they were a hit for Julie. Having in-house tech support is priceless. Mike's artistic talent shines in the artwork on your wall. Your indoor teatime beats the rain with happy elements surrounding you. ☺️
ReplyDeleteYour son is multi-talented, as you are :) Your cinnamon rolls look so good, and of course anything with cream cheese is fabulous! Love your teapot that your son painted, and the teacup to match. Glad you are getting some rain, but wouldn't it be nice if it rained at night, and sun shone during the day - wishful thinking of course :) Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteYUM Kitty. I cannot even remember the last time I had a cinnamon bun. Yours looks delicious. What a thoughtful thing to do to help celebrate the early part of your daughter's birthday. You are so kind. Your tea table looks so inviting.
ReplyDeleteBTW- anytime I get "dings" and have to repaint ceramics such as yours - the perfect top coat is fresh clear nail polish. It matches the shine perfectly. I have done it for years.
Your son did a great job matching. Can't even tell it was ever chipped!!
It's so nice that your son helps you with tech problems and is a talented artist. Kitty, the cinnamon rolls look and sound so good. Thanks for sharing the recipe to make them and enjoy the week.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had someone tech savvy in the family! I love your vintage teapot and the cinnamon buns look soooooo good.
ReplyDeleteYummy Kitty, and I love the bird pic....so real looking and if it is raining, the birds can cheer you up. Have a great week. Blessings
ReplyDeleteDelicious looking cinnamon buns, Kitty. Isn't it great to have children to help with the technical difficulties we sometimes get into? Mike is very talented.
ReplyDeleteThe bird picture I love Kitty. Your son is very talented and so is the son who is your tech man and the lovely teapot your son painted and repaired. Taken runs in the family. Such a sweet teacup from your friend. We had our share of the long rainy days but thankfully the sun is making an appearance this week. Hope you are having better weather............
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful teacup and tea pot and the cinnamon rolls sound delicious. :)
ReplyDeleteKitty, the cinnamon rolls look delicious. Mike did a great jog in repairing the cute little cottage teapot. Love your darling little teacup. We had some rain too, so I understand moving inside for some teatime. Happy week🩷
ReplyDeleteI have to fix my own tech problems if they arise. Children aren't close enough. You're blessed.
ReplyDeleteLove the teacup and the recipe!!
Happy Weekend!
