It's a beautiful day for enjoying the Fall weather.
It's beautiful at least for now, but we are about to take a 40 degree dip in temperatures. My table is clad with a mini houndstooth pattern that I used long ago for part of a fabric that was used for a comforter that I made for Avery. The flowers are from a surprise bouquet from my grandson, Caiden, when he stopped by earlier in the week. Love that kid!
Oh how loved this darling basket patterned teapot is with a bounty of harvest.
Autumn's Delight Johnson Bros teacup is a favorite for Fall.
This tea is a perfect Fall blend! Thank you, Margie!
Yield: 4 dozen
Oatmeal Candied Chippers
These cookies were baked for my church's bake sale.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3/4 cup flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups uncooked rolled oats
- 1 and 1/3 cups candy coated chocolate pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookies sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- Beat butter, and both sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add milk, egg and vanilla; beat well. Add flour, salt and baking soda. Beat until well combined. Stir in oats and candy coated chocolate pieces.
- Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls (I used my mini scoop) onto prepared cookie sheets. At this point, you should chill or even freeze the scoops because it helps the cookies from spreading so much during baking.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let cookies stand 2 minutes on cookie sheets, and then remove them to wire racks to cool completely.
Three of my grandchildren have birthdays within a week. Harper turned 11 on the 5th, Connor turned 25 on the 7th, and Riley will turn 22 on the 11th.
This Goldencrest Lemon Cypress tree was just planted this week, surrounded by some beautiful pansies. It adds some brightness on my patio. The tree smells so good when you rub your hands on it. The tag stated that adults that garden live longer and have less stress.
Thank you for your visit! xo
I'm sharing with these parties:
Happy birthday to the Grands!! They grow up too darn quick! lol

Those cookies look delicious! I hope all 3 of your grandchildren had/will have a wonderful birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday Kitty, I’ve always admired your pretty basket teapot and Johnson Brothers Autumns Delight is a favorite pattern! We’re dropping 40 degrees today too and tomorrow’s going to be even colder, dipping down into the 20s. I bet your cookies were a hot seller at your church’s bake sale, they sound so good with the oats and M&Ms. Happy Birthday to your grands, everyone is growing up so quickly! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead ♥
ReplyDeleteBeautiful grands and Happy Birthday to all. of them. The Autumn tea cup is perfect for fall. Although today we got some snow it feels more like winter than fall. Leaves and snow still on the trees. The cookies sound delish. Have a wonderful start to the new week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteThank you to your grandson for his service.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to all!!
I love the autumn tea cup. And the cookies sound very good. Oatmeal cookies are a favorite for my son Sam. :-)
P.S. I made the Rock Star Bars this weekend for my boys, they loved them.
How sweet of Caiden to surprise you with a bouquet!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the Maple Toffee blend!
Hi Kitty, I love the basket teapot! The cookies look delicious. Happy birthday to your precious grands! It turned cold here last night and is colder tonight. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteI love your tablescape, Kitty! And those beautiful grands.......but I think I am most excited about that tea Margie sent you. Isn't she the most amazing blogger friend? I bet it is delicious. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to those good-looking grandkids!
And how wonderful Caiden brought you flowers! What a sweetheart!
Happy New Week to You!
The autumn's delight tea cup is one of the prettiest I have ever seen. No wonder it is one of your favorites! May I ask where you find such unique and special tea flavors? I love coffee so much, but Kevin and I have been talking lately about getting into tea more!
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty, I love your basket teapot, I have never seen one. It makes a lovely presentation on your table along with the teacup and saucer. The cypress is a favorite of mine, I have one inside to enjoy. I love how you planted pansies to dress it up. I think I may borrow your idea. The chippers look pretty and delicious. Sweet pic of grands, Connor 25, wow! Time is flying by. Happy November Kitty........
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look so good Kitty. I love those photos of the grand kids and hope they have happy birthdays. We've been having cold weather here that I'm not ready for it, but I guess I should get used to it for the next few months. Enjoy the rest of the week Kitty.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a unique and pretty basketweave teapot. I'm glad you could enjoy tea on your patio before the cold front moved in. How quickly these grandchildren grow up! Have a wonderful rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your grands. That basket weave teapot is unusual and so pretty. Your cookies look wonderful and so perfect with your cup of tea. Enjoy those lovely flowers. Happy weekend.
