I found this wintery tray at the thrift store and thought I'd put different paper on the bottom and use it to take my tea and a snack out on the porch swing.
Also at the ts I found this tea cozy. Now my old one goes into the give-away box. It's nice to change things a wee bit, don't you think?
DH went out and brought in enough rhubarb from our little plant so I could make a rhubarb coffee cake. I didn't actually have a recipe so I used one for a peach CC. It turned out fine.
And since I don't like to use the oven for just one thing I also mixed up a batch of scones to put in the freezer for tea breaks this coming week.
It's a chilly showery day and just right for curling up with tea and my library book.
Thanks for visiting,

Everything about this post says "Cozy".
ReplyDeleteThat is really a cute tray! And with a square of the coffee cake on it... a cup of tea ... a porch swing... great trio for a spring day!!
ReplyDeleteLove the tray and how handy and versatile it will be for you. The coffee cake and scones look so good. I have never made or eaten scones but always wanted to try them. Do you have a recipe you could share? Are they difficult to make?
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to do a TS upgrade! Made a few batches of jam today, getting ready for the start of the market. It was a good day for doing that.
ReplyDeleteThe tray is just perfect for your porch. You have the best ideas! Those scones look delicious! I've never tried one.
ReplyDeleteThe rhubarb coffee cake looks delicious, something I have never tried before. It would be so nice to join you on the porch for tea and cake.
ReplyDeleteI see that rhubarb is in the produce stores now! I'm thinking rhubarb crisp and maybe some muffins...

Hi GM! I love your tray make over and your SCONES! YUMMY! (As you can tell, I am greatly missing baked treats!)
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to the first rhubarb. The scones with candied peel win me over! I have to get busy with that again. Phil
ReplyDeleteLove your tray make-over, it looks great!

ReplyDeleteI like your tray.
ReplyDeleteOh rhubarb is something I like a lot. Have some growing in my garden but it isn't ready to harvest yet. Rhubarb Cobbler is my favorite.
Enjoy gardenscapes would love to try this game as while.
ReplyDeleteOh your hutch and tea sets are just darling 😊
ReplyDeleteA tea tray is an excellent thing! Your baking looks yummy. It's smart to freeze those items. I need to remember to do that. I'm catching up on some blog reading this morning at last!
