A Cold Day, A Warm Hearth, Party For One.......

There is nothing like a cold rainy day to elicit staying inside. I did just that today. I put on my fleece, warm sox, grabbed my current novel, made myself some tea and sat in my favorite chair in front of the fire. Ahhhhh bliss! I love large mugs. I also love hot tea with honey. I treated myself to a tray using some of my favorite golds, greens and russets what evokes fall better?

Sadly my butter cookies didn't make it into the picture......lounging all day makes one rather hungry so by the time I decided to pull the camera out for a few shots.....well the cookies were just gone. I decided to use one of my favorite green plates as a saucer instead, I am sure you don't mind!

A little candle light makes it even more cozy.

The love the raised detail on the rim of these plates and they really are the perfect green! Aren't they fun on my autumn leaved napkin?

There is another seat by the fire, are you sure you don't want to join me and sit a spell? I will warn you , I do tend to get rather caught up in my reading once started.

Maybe you would like to pick a book or two out to enjoy yourself?

This wormed and antique tray is one of my favorites and I use it on my ottomans in place of a coffee table. It is perfect for serving up a place setting for one.

Hope you enjoyed spending a cozy moment with me by the fire. Now head on over to Susan's at Between Naps On The Porch to view more wonderfully inspiring tables (or trays) whichever the case may be.
