Design Your Perfect Space!  An Awesome Tea Party Activity.

Design Your Perfect Space! An Awesome Tea Party Activity.

Just thought of an awesome tea party activity, especially when there guests who don't know each other.

Create a beautiful space (in your mind) with no constraints of time, money, etc., and share about what it would be like.

Where would it be?  What would be on the walls?  Where would be your special place to sit?

I got this idea because I was hanging Susan Rios Art all over a wall in my mind, because I don't have room in my house! LOL

Awesome NON-Dairy Chocolate Cake Recipe!

Awesome NON-Dairy Chocolate Cake Recipe!

From Food.com  This is fabulous and easy.  I made the same choice as one of the readers and used 2 eggs instead of the vinegar. No holes, just mixed it all together.

Let us know if you try the vinegar way!

  • cups flour
  • cups sugar
  • tablespoons cocoa
  • teaspoons baking soda
  • teaspoons salt
  • tablespoons vinegar
  • 3cup canola oil (almost any kind of cooking oil will do)
  • teaspoon svanilla
  • cups water

DIRECTIONS

  1. Sift first 5 ingredients together in an ungreased 9x13-inch pan.
  2. Make 3 wells and in each hole place the next 3 ingredients.
  3. Pour 2 cups of water over top mix with a fork or wire whisk.
  4. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes.

Buy Your Tea and Coffee Online!

Buy Your Tea and Coffee Online!

It's been 10 years of constant growth at Roses and Teacups, and although we sell almost everything to do with tea or a tea theme (even tea puzzles, teapot jewelry and tea towels,) we don't sell tea!


            

So recently we contacted a number of wonderful tea and coffee companies that we think you'll love, and we are proud to say that they have accepted us as affiliates.  

We now have an entire page of tea and coffee companies' links for you to browse and to click on when you're ready to shop for tea and coffee.  Oh, and we tossed in a couple of chocolate companies as well, just because we could!

We'd love your feedback after you sample the products!

The Coffee Dream...

The Coffee Dream...

This is me.  

This is me without coffee.  

In the last couple of years I've had dreams wayyyyyy too numerous to count where I spend the entire dream trying to get to a Starbucks.

Last night, though, was so, well, wild, that I had to share...

I dreamed that my husband (of 28 years, by the way) was happily, no, gleefully telling me that he was divorcing me.

It was early in the morning (6 am), and after telling me this, he had the nerve to get a little frisky which made me beyond furious.

I got out of bed (now remember, I'm dreaming) and to my horror found that we had house guests, and that we had awakened them with our angry yelling.

I kept trying to tell these people that it was NOT actually morning and that they should go back to bed.

And so began the search for coffee.  As my husband and the house guests were milling around looking for food, I was desperately going through the cupboards in hopes of finding SOME form of coffee.  There was nothing there, and there wasn't even a coffee maker on the counter.

It seems as if this desperate search went on for a long time (you know how dreams are), but finally I was in a car and on the way to Starbucks....  My husband was driving me there.  Maybe it was out of guilt, but at that point, it didn't matter!

So what does this mean?  Do I have a problem?  :)
