I was reading the new issue of Tea Time Magazine with the Old Blue Willow tea service on the cover and thought how lovely these yellow cupcakes would go with the blue dishes.
Is there anything richer or creamier than banana pudding?
Have another - they're small.
I remember buying a set of Old Blue Willow years ago. The problem was my house didn't match them - I think they belong in a white kitchen or in a cozy cottage, don't you? All I have left of those dishes is a serving platter, which I use all the time. Sigh.
If you're interested in Old Blue Willow, you may want to read a post I wrote on Cozy Mystery Magazine. Here's the link:The Mystique of Old Blue Willow.
Let me refill your cup.

A Little Background...
When I was in junior high school, I wanted to become an architect or a yacht designer. After high school, my best friend and I dreamed of opening a studio where she could teach dance and I would teach piano. The closest I got was getting a degree in music, teaching piano lessons at home for one year and serving as the church choir director for four years.
My husband took me on business trips to great resorts, my friends and I had tea parties, and life was generally good until one day, I got bored.
Since
I loved to read murder mysteries, why not write one? The quest was
short lived since our youngest still needed my attention, until nine
years later when I took advantage of my tech-savy son and plunged into
the world of blogging. I salvaged the book I had started called "Murder
in Half Moon Bay" and published the first Jillian Bradley mystery in
2010.
Then I started writing Book 2 "The Ghost Orchid Murder."
Then I started writing Book 2 "The Ghost Orchid Murder."
They
used to say, "Life begins at forty," but for me, a new life as an
author began in my sixties. I hope you enjoy Jillian Bradley's
adventures with her little companion, Teddy. The stories are based on
the wonderful life God has given me filled with travel, good times with
family and friends, and our little Maltese, Chloe.
I am a member of Leander Writers’ Guild, American
Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW CenTex Chapter), and Central Texas Authors.
Oh, I almost forgot. In the bottom right-hand corner you might like to
hear the radio interview on Blog Talk Radio featuring a few of my COZY
MYSTERY MAGAZINE friends and me. Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks for the visit - now explore if you like, and don't forget to finish your tea.
Cheers!
