~ Fire King and Scones ~

My sweet Texas Hill Country friend,
AUDREY of TIMELESS TREASURES,
sent me this BEAUTIFULLY wrapped gift and it took me nearly an hour to
"open" it because I loved the wrapping so much.

Just look at it....all the things I love, rolled into one big TREASURE of a package.

just wrapped sooo cute ...and here I was, SURROUNDED with 

Red...Black and White...Checks....Polka Dots...

I was in heaven, opening this lovely package.

and

not only did Audrey do a magnificent job on the wrapping,

the care she took in PACKING  the box insured SAFE DELIVERY.

...an adorable set of vintage FIRE KING cups that make drinking coffee or tea

a  PURE PLEASURE.
Especially when the RED ROOSTER is this SASSY !!

Oh, thank you so so much, Audrey. ♥

I just love them.....and you knew I would.

"Fire-King was originally produced in the 1940s for everyday use, rather than display. It was often sold in bags of flour as a promotional item or was given away at gas stations. Fire-King could also be purchased at local grocery and hardware stores. Several varieties of Fire King dishes were made; nesting bowls, dessert bowls, glass beverage containers, casserole dishes, mugs and more."

CRANBERRY PECAN SCONES

to die for......

KITTY of KITTY'S KOZY KITCHEN

had this recipe on her site and they sounded so good, I had to give them a try.

I said, "Kitty, can I add cranberries and pecans to your recipe?"......

and she said, "Absolutely..."

so I did just that !

Just click HERE for Kitty's recipe.
I followed it to a tee but I did add
Cranberries and Pecans.

Next time, I will try dried apricots and walnuts with a MAPLE glaze....
O HONEY

OR...lemon zest, lemon flavoring and LEMON CURD
on top..... YUM

Now, I have to say these are delicious.

They are a dense, cake-like scone....not too sweet....but just right

if you are adding a glaze....

which I did.
I am not sure how you are SUPPOSED to make a glaze but I used
powdered sugar
vanilla
milk
♥ ♥ ♥
Add a pat of butter to the warm scones, bite into a bit of HEAVEN.

So......along came these cutie-pie, vintage cups, which, by the way, are in MINT condition...

A cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee, in a ROOSTER cup, served right along side of a CRANBERRY SCONE had to be a
 winner.

and....sure 'nuff.....it was !

Thanks so very much for the cups, AUDREY...

and thanks so much for your guidance in helping me make your delicious scones, KITTY.

Bloggers HAVE to be the kindest, loving and

generous of all people.

I sure am proud to be a part of it, too.
