I was slightly worried that I may not have enough tea and coffee pots so one of the girls brought round the two beauties below, which needless to say nearly made me hyperventilate with joy, they so reminded me of the Featherdown Farm enamel ones. When I took them to school to give them back she said that as they had made me so (ridiculously) happy, and since they spent most of the time in her cupboard, that I could keep them. Forever. Hurrah!! It made my day.
After the arrival of the log man, Mr Coal arrived, so we could finally do this...........
Oh the bliss of an open fire, a cup of tea and autumn tv.....................I won't be leaving the house for a while!Before I disappear again I must tell you that after many requests Andrea has bitten the bullet and opened a website here. Pay her a visit, she really has some fab stuff.
See you all soon....................

Well done you, I did a yummy mummy charity coffee morning (they support clic sergent) last year and raised £70 but feel really guilty as I meant to do it again this year but since moving house I completely forgot about it. I've already been on Andreas site, I came across it the other day, wish her lots of luck....Claire x
ps Can I come to your house it looks so cosy and inviting...lol...xx
Great tea pot and coffee pot. What a nice present for you!
Your fire looks lovely. I have coal fires too but am putting off lighting them until mid november at the earliest. Coal and gas (for ch cost so much I'm on a frugal drive)
oooh you've inspired me to get my fire lit if I can brave the weather to the coa bunker!!
Love the teapot and coffee pot and of course the cake . . yum!
I had a bit of a disaster concerning my contribution to my friend's Macmillon coffee morning. I made a ginger cake but as I had run out of baking parchment, i just put it in the greased tin. Big mistake! It stuck.
And then Roland reminded me that he had the car that day so I couldn't go anyway.
P.s I ate the cake anyway. after I cut off the burnt bits and scraped the bits off the bottom of the oven.
P.P.S Actually i lied.
I am yet to scrape the bits off the bottom of the oven.
Yummy cake and gorgeous laomps by the side of your fireplace. Have visited your friends website and contacted her about P&P for three of her huge bags as I cant find the charges on the website.
Such beautiful things and cozy room. I feel good looking at these pictures.

LOVE the teapots..how nice to be given them and I have to say my spotty dishes from Andrea are brilliant..in regular use already..how did I cope before? x

Your coffee morning sounded great fun. Lucky you getting to keep those gorgeous enamel pots. I think it must be your reward for being generous. I've been over to your friend's website - I've got my eye on a spotty doormat for when I get my new kitchen and everything is just GORGEOUS.
Bliss, I have to have the open fire too...total relaxation for me.
Your fire and crochet throw look so inviting. No more cake for me though!
A Big Well Done on the fund raising.

Well done on the coffee morning, those cakes look yummy. Glad you got to keep the teapots too (I have the same orange one, it was my mum's). Looking forward to TV in front of the fire tonight, it's blimming cold isn't it!

Lovely cakes, lovely tea pots and ohhh what a lovely fire.
Any cake left? pass it round! Well done.
You can't beat a piece of cake and a natter! Glad your event was a great success, you deserve the coffee pot gift - lucky you!
Enjoy cosying up by your fire, the weather's grim outside, definitely the place to be.

Very well done!!
I love the coffee and tea pots...and the crochet!! ;-)
Well done sweetie, it seems so many of us in blog land made a real effort this year with the Macmillon support and it just fills my heart with a big smile.
Such a fabulous charity. I would of loved to of come along to your coffee morning that coffee cake looks so yummy.
Your fire looks very warming and inviting, I wouldn't want to leave it at all. Good book, chocolates and glass or 2 of wine, what heaven.
Can't wait to see you soon in Nov honey.
Right I'm off to look at Andrea's website. I'm only sorry that my Ben couldn't help her like he wanted to, but what with his work load doubling it had to come first. I'm sure if she needs any other help he'll be more than happy to help.
Lot sof love,
Catherine x

lovely blog. great idea to raise money doing something we all love. we have a fire place but in sunny queensland australia we dont get to use it so much. will be back. xxrosey
Well done with the coffee morning. Such a great cause, we couldn't have managed without one of their nurses during my grandmothers final days. A godsend.
I bought that very same red enamel coffee post for Anna at All Things Lovely after her stay at Feather Down Farm. Was tempted to keep it myself though!

P.S Love Lotties Barn.
Yummy all the cake. I think that is the best to have
Well done with the coffee morning. The cakes look delicious and I'm not surprised you're so pleased with those coffee pots. Just gorgeous. Andrea's site looks great. I'm sure I'll be making a purchase before long. Enjoy that cosy fire.
love the fire and the tea

I don't know what a coffee morning is but it certainly sounds fun! What a wonderful gift of those coffee pots.
I would love to sit in front of the fire. That looks like such a cozy place to spend time!
Hi Julia

Hope all is well, I call in daily and think of you, post soon.

Where are you - you obviously have a life rather than blogging like us weirdos!
Love Emma x
Gosh, look at your lovely crocheted rug draped over the chair by the fire. Lovely.
Cake looks fab too.
(Found you via Willow House).
Hiya, in your RED post, could you tell me where you got the tin next to the red pear from, I'm thinking its a greengate one but cant find it anywhere ( I have a thing about tins)
Hope your well
