Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting


It's still so pretty out today, and therefore, it's a Halloween tea party on the patio.  My table covering is something I made several years ago, from a towel and quilt-as-you-go stockings.


Masked Mr.  Pumpkin Head is ready to host the Halloween tea party. 


I'm using my Royal Albert Duchess teacup today, and some Twinings pumpkin chai tea, which is perfect for the pumpkin bars.  



My indoor fairy garden is making an appearance outside for I've made it into a pumpkin patch.  Don't you love the Bakery fairy home?

Pumpkin Cookies with Brown Butter Icing


 It's another summer-like day here and time for a Friendly Witch Tea in the garden.  I'm using this tablecloth that I bought at Ross several years ago. It matches my Friendly Witch's stockings and her cape overlay.

 Don't you just love the wart on her nose, and her gingham hat?


 My Lenox teacup goes with most anything and I received it from Debbie from  Stephanie's very first teacup exchange.

 My McKenzie-Child's look alike tea kettle that my son Mike painted for me completes the look!

Pick a Pepper Pumpkin

 Let's enjoy some veggies and dip with a cup of tea, shall we?  My friend Pat, from Gypsy Heart and Soul shared this adorable Halloween idea, which you can see here.  I just had to try it out for myself.  My friend, Marsha, from The Better Baker  sent me this pretty towel which I'm using for my table covering.  Isn't it perfect with this teacup?  My mums are still looking good!  Yea!!

This Royal Albert Woodland Series teacup that my friend Rosie gave me from her late Mother's collection, looks right at home on the towel/table covering.
