Autumn tea party!

My wonderful penpal [livejournal.com profile] poeticknowledge sent me an autumn tea set as an early Christmas present. Clearly, I needed to arrange an autumn tea post haste! (I realize the first few weeks of December are still technically autumn, but nothing will ever make them feel autumnal to me)

So I invited over my friend Chelsea.

As you can see, there are two teapots. There were but two of us, so I used the small pot for tea and the big pot for a centerpiece.

We also had a couple of extra teacups, which I put out because they made the table look more balanced. "I hope you brought your imaginary friend," I told Chelsea.

"Of course," she said. "That's Sir Bob, and that's Orville Redenbacher."

I love the teacup! (And you clearly make **delicious** chocolate chip cookies)

This is my never-fail chocolate chip cookie recipe! The secret is in the ingredients; real butter, real vanilla, lots of chocolate chips.
