A mind over flowed with things...

        A new Victoria always helps to un-winded the mind...  It is always welcomed into my live...  Seeing the beauty in the pages helps me release some of the over whelming in sites of my mind...
        A of course a hot cup of loving tea in a favorite cup from the past...
And maybe a slice of Pink cake like the panaderia makes...  I'm always searching on line for something and half the time not even knowing what...  I guess something different, not quite sure...  But I found this recipe for this La Panaderia's Mexicam Pink Cake...   
                        
        It was fun and simple it got eaten quickly so I suppose it was a hit, lol ...
                        

        So Victoria and hot cuppa and lovely Pink Cake...
        What lady wouldn't want that...
 
         Tea traditons...
       Atmosphere of Hospitality...  Tables set, fragrant flowers in vases, and chairs ready to be filled
All the pieces are in place for a lovely gathering....  

        Love this white and gold teapot set...  So pretty...  
        Indigo Splendor...  Classic Blue and White china...  
        This sounded interesting to me, I love Olives and I believe Rosemary is good for the mind..  Though I have never eaten a savory scone before...  I would love to try these...
        Welcome Spring,  i like this, looks some what a bit rustic with a Spring elegance...   
            Soon Spring will be among us again...  I wish at times that I lived in the south and I had a house with a front porch...
        


The Carolina Inn,  wouldn't it be nice to go around the world visiting tearooms and inns...  I would 
Surely love it...  Tasting all the different delites and tea in different beautiful teapot  cups and saucers...
                             The Valentine Tea, a short story, in Victoria magazine...
        This is a photo of my Rosca Reyes, Three Kings bread...  A day that the Mexican culture celebrates in Mexico on the 6th if January...  When the three Kings came to see baby Jesus...  They make this bread in celebration of that on that day.  It was my first time making it...  My family said it was good...  


                  
       It was fairly easy to make even the pastry custard and I made my own candied cherries...
         Goodness with Victoria magazine ...  Wishing you all a lovely weekend full of love...
                                                         With love...
                                                             Janice...
Ps thank you very much for your visits ...

  2. That was a lovely thought travelling around the world trying all the different teas and fancies. I have never tried a olive and rosemary scone but I am rather partial to a cheese scone. Have a good weekend.

  3. I love a savoury scone but have to admit I have never tried an olive and rosemary one.
    Pretty pictures.

  4. Oh my goodness - those cakes are making me hungry, and I've just had breakfast! Love the china too. I like that magazine and always try and get a copy of it when I'm in the US or Canada.
