osprey_archer: (tea)

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.

Isn't it, though? I can't take all the credit. Not only did [livejournal.com profile] poeticknowledge send me the things, but when I was having trouble getting the leaves to look nice rather than busy, my mother suggested having the empty ring on the tablecloth to give the eye some resting space.

I'm glad it made you happy! We had a great time.

Thank you for this. <3 This compliment is a godsend after what I went through today. :) You are so kind and always have a knack for knowing exactly what people need to hear. *hugs* Thank you! :)

It looks like Orville may have lost his marbles...

Can you blame him? The poor man is named Orville, after all. He was doomed from the start.

I hope today is a better day!
