I know the calender says
fall will still be with us another month or so...
but to me,
when the last of the Thanksgiving Dinner
is eaten...
it is officially Winter
and Christmas season has begun...
so I am sharing my last tea of fall today...
fall is about rich smells and tastes...
cinnamon...
Pumpkin bread
with chocolate chips...
I made a loaf with chocolate chips and one without,
the without sat sadly untouched,
till long after the with was all gone...
the garden still has a surprise bloom here and there...
I foraged around for this bouquet of
Yarrow, Heavenly Bamboo Berries
and a single Gertrude Jekyll Rose...
treasured...
Have you Decked Your Halls?
My Mr. went back to work today
after a holiday break,
I am ready to deck the halls,
but have to clean them first, haha!
Today I am joining...
and
Thanks for joining me today...

Your photos are glorious, Bella! I love your bouquet and your teacup too. Beautiful!
This is such a beautiful post Bella. And yes, I have decked my halls already even after being away to New York City last weekend! Have fun decorating (and cleaning). Blessings, Pamela
Hello Bella
The scent of cinnamon is nice as it gently wafts through the air; I like the taste and use it in many of my recipes.
A pretty teacup and yummy looking pumpkin bread - I'll confess I'd prefer the one without the chocolate chips.
The halls were cleaned first here too and then decked. You had such a beautiful tree last year with all the birds on it so I'm looking forward to what you do this year.
Hugs,

Bella, what a pretty post! Your bouquet is really sweet and I like your cinnamon sticks tied up and sitting in that pretty cup! It's always a pleasure to have you for tea. Thank you for sharing and have a beautiful week.
Blessings,

Hi Bella! This is just such a pretty post! Your pictures are amazing! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
What a pretty little bouquet! I love the little creamer it's in, too. I have started a bit on my decorating. At least I've got my tree up, and all the stuff brought in. That's a major accomplishment for me!
My halls are cleaned and decked ;-)
Love your beautiful photos.

Have started the decking of the halls--and the cleaning too! I can't wait to see what you do. Your posts are always beautiful!
Your posts are always so very beautiful, Bella. We are cleaning and decorating as we go here- Have a wonderful week-xo Diana
So beautiful! I would love to try pumpkin bread with white chocolate chips!

Tea sounds yummy! I would have gladly dug into that second loaf! I thought you might have snow, and here you are still with the bouquets! It's all very pretty! xx
Beautiful china, lovely late surprise blooms and mouthwatering pumpkin bread with chocolate chips!
Dear Bella,
Such beautiful photos! It's all in the details. Love that cinnamon tied up with that candy cane striped string.
Sweet.
All the best, Ruthie from: http://www.ladybstimefortea.blogspot.com
Beautiful post Bella! I love your Melba tea cup. It is soooo vintage! The vignettes you have set up are very lovely. The pumpkin bread sounds delicious! Yum!
Have a great day : )
Hugs,

Bella, such a gorgeous post! The Melba teacup is lovely. All your tea vignettes are wonderful. Happy Tea Day!
Thank you for posting more of your gorgeous photos...it always makes me "oooh and aaah!"
You always bring such beauty into our lives, Bella. Such a delight to behold. I love your china, your linens, your arrangement, and your pumpkin bread looks delicious. I am enjoying these last few days of fall, also. xx
Beautiful displays! I love the flowers and your teacup! Our flowers are long gone by now.;( Your pumpkin bread looks scrumptious! Even without the chocolate!
Have a wonderful week!

Hi bella,
Love your beautiful photos once again. No bouquets to be had here unless it is winter greenery.
Guess I'll be adding choc. chips to my pumpkin bread from now on.

Such a lovely post, Bella. I agree that with Thanksgiving over it is officially the "anticipating Christmmas" season. Your final bouquet is so lovely, and the English china so pretty. My flowers have long since passed by here in New England but there are lovely seeds and bittersweet to scatter here and there, as well as plump mahogany rosehips.
