Afternoon Tea with Folksy Friday

I sat in front of the computer and thought "what shall I do for today's Folksy Friday Post",  there are so many lovely things to choose from sometimes it's difficult to come up with a theme. While pondering this dilemma I popped into the kitchen to make myself a cuppa and maybe add a biscuit or two... naughty I know. Then it hit me... tea, no the tea didn't hit me, the idea did! afternoon tea would be my theme.

First I need tea

 a selection of teas from

 Heron Cottage Artisan Teas

or should I have coffee, with or without sugar?

choose your label from

 Charlotte Hupfield Ceramics

then a nice big mug to put it in

a great choice of mug from

Absolutely Clay 

Should I have a Jammy Dodger

Choose your favorite biscuit to wear from

Handmade Retro Jewellery 

or should I have cake

there are no calories in this pincushion cake by

Lily Lily Handmade

What would you have?

While you enjoy your cuppa why not pop over to Folksy, a great UK online market place

C is for Cupcakes

We all like Cupcakes don't we?

This week I've been asked to paint a couple of old favourites.

This Plaque was bought to hang in a caravan.

A Chocolate Cupcake Plaque just for fun.

These kitchen Plaques tend to do well at Craft Fairs and I get orders to personalise them either to match a room or a favourite flavour Cupcake,

Strawberry                 Chocolate Chip with Swizzle Stick                         Cherry

My all time favourite flavour is chocolate but I'm afraid I'm bit fickle when it comes to all things 'cake' and change my favourite along with my mood, this week is the turn of  Lemon Drizzle. 

(mmmm I must think of my diet)

Do you have a  favourite flavour Cupcake?   

I'm off to have a look at all the other great blogs that take part in  Handmade Monday. I hope you'll join me. If you don't know what this blog hop is then follow the link and all will be explained.
