Coffee,Mince Pies, Friends and Fairies

Stella came over for coffee and mince pies (homemade)this morning which was very pleasant as she has been preoccupied of late with a large tin of Farrow & Ball, a new roller and mission to paint her kitchen. Now complete she is able leave the confines of her house and once more make home visits.
She brought some friends with her. Shall I introduce you?

Hello
They are a very shy bunch but aren’t adversed to a bit of mischief.
All fairies are attracted to pretty things so it wasn’t long before they gathered up some Florence Hope anemone corsages and arranged themselves amongst them……

Then they found my birdie hooks and hung out in the porch chatting to the birds.

The dozen mince pies I made yesterday have all gone so I am off to make more....

  3. I love Stella's fairy friends, I may have already seen these round at hers, or even the prototypes? I haven't had a mince pie yet, even though they have been in the shops since Easter, home-made even better, you will have a lot to make before Christmas if you have started already, I guess different recipes have to be quality controlled! Funny how we never got to see the mince pies, they couldn't have been on the plate very long, or maybe you were eating them straight from the tin! x

    Mince pies and peg fairies, lovely. I adore both and always get the urge to start producing more peg fairies at this time of year. Strangely although I love to eat them I don't like making mince pies, but they have to be homemade! Fortunately my best friends Mother makes the most devine mince pies in huge batches. She makes her pastry with self raising flour, something I have never done and it is so light and just melts in the mouth. See how they get to me, I' raving on about them now!

  9. Sweet fairies! I love your bird hangers in the last photo.

    MINCE PIES! We have ordered some (Holmfield) from our English foods distributor to sell in our gourmet shop for the holidays... I am soooo tempted to take a box home for myself. =)
