A Blueberry Breakfast . . . A Blueberry Tea

It's Blueberry Time on the prairie

And with a gift quart

(or part of a gift quart)

We made a batch of blueberry muffins

in my grandmother's cast iron gem pan

Smaller than a regular size muffin

But bigger than a mini muffin

Two is the perfect serving

Since there are only two of us and eleven muffins,

we served six

For Sunday breakfast

The weather has been wonderful up to and including

The Fourth of July

But then it turned hot

So alas, our al fresco meals are no longer

We're eating inside once again

The perfect place for breakfast?

The "breakfast" room, of course!

I favor lace cloths -- antique lace cloths

Especially those made by Quaker Lace

(The sideboard is full of them!)

And a lace cloth makes a good tablecloth for a Sunday breakfast

Blue and white china, of course

Everyday linen napkins in silver napkin rings

And coffee for Sunday breakfast.

Served from my new Indies coffee pot

I bought a wee teapot, sugar and creamer and two cups and saucers and two tea plates

on a long ago trip to England

Once we built the breakfast room, I decided I needed

a set of "breakfast" dishes

And I chose to enlarge my Indies

As luck would have it, I found several pieces at Home Goods

And some more on ebay

I have enough for six

(which is all the breakfast room table can accommodate)

plus some extra cups and saucers and tea plates

Friend Cass From That Old Hosue

found a coffeepot a while back

And I yearned for one as well

And there in an antique shop was a lidless pot for $3

And after I got home, I found on ebay

a lid, 2 saucers and 2 bread and butter plates!

Our plates this Sunday morning --

scrambled eggs scrambled with chive cream cheese, Farmer's Market cherry tomatoes with a shower of basil and the blueberry muffins

First in to breakfast?

Dolly!

Ya, don't get treats if you're not there!

That afternoon, the friend who gifted us with the blueberries came by

Leftover breakfast blueberry muffins were put on a Spode cake plate

Saucers and cups, napkins, spoons, muffins and a teapot

All on a wicker tray

To be carried to the porch

Where we visited and enjoyed afternoon tea and a nosh

of blueberry muffins.

The muffin recipe is my "go to" one -- from Betty Crocker and although sometimes I get fickle and try a new recipe, tis is the one I come back to time and time again -- it's just so good!

It is Thursday and I'm joining  Susan at Between Naps On the Porch for Tablescape Thursday and Cuisine Kathleen for Let's Dish.
