My darling husband surprised me the other day with some beautiful pink roses
and they reminded me of the china set I received before I got married.
So I brought out a few dishes, made some cookies
and enjoyed a few moments of quietness and fond memories.
The first time I used this china set was at our wedding;
the wedding party table was set with the dishes.
The second I saw these dishes I fell in love with them
because they have pink roses on them
and I have mentioned I have a weakness for roses.
But I also loved them because they are called 'Stephanie'
which you all know is my name :)
Anytime I use these dishes I think back to our precious wedding day
and I praise the Lord for blessing me with such a wonderful and godly man!
I love him dearly!
Now, won't you enjoy a moment of quietness
and maybe bake some delightfully tasting cookies?
Easy Buttery Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 cups butter, softened
4 cups all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine the sugar and butter in a large bowl, mix until creamy.
Slowly add the flour.
Place the mixture on a floured surface and pat to 1/2 inch thickness.
Cut into desired shapes.
Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Mix 1/2 cup white sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon
and sprinkle on top of cookies.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes.
If you want, you can half the recipe
and these cookies freeze well.
Have a wonderful day!
"Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD."
Psalm 150:6

Your china is truly exquisite and you have a wonderful hubbub to bring you roses, especially that match your wedding china:) Thank you also for the recipe to the cookies.

How lovely that your husband brought you such beauty! :) Your dishes are just so delicate and the intricacy of the lace trim around the rim of the cup is a nice surprise.
Thank you so much for your prayers... m.

Hello Stephanie,
What a sweet pattern! I really love it. It is so dainty sprinkled with roses and polks dots and I love that it is named Stephanie! Perfect for such a lovely lady! Your napkin folded like an envelope for your silverware is beautiful too. Your cookies look scrumptious and I love the scripture verse you shared! Beautiful roses and tea table. Thank you so much for sharing with us today and also your prayers for our safety. Have a lovely day, my friend.

Your china with the rosebuds is very pretty, and having a matching vase for your roses is perfect.
I can't think of anything better than a cinnamon topped butter cookie to have with my tea. I'm eating gingersnaps right now as I sip and visit.

Dearest Stephanie,
As I visited your blog the scripture reminding me to be still and know that I am God was foremost on my mind. Such soft and lovely moments to reflect on God's love for us...Thank you for blessing my day, sweet friend.

The vase is gorgeous and so are the dishes. I love this beautiful tea setting you shared with us. I'm kinda sad for NY, my home town, although my family is safe and fine. You made me smile with your sweet comment. Thank you and have a safe rest of the week.

The rose china is so pretty. I like the shade of pink especially, and that the roses are delicate.
Buttery cookies are among my favorites, I'd love a cookie now as I sip my tea and read Tea-Time blogs.
Your china is very pretty! Love the little lace holding your flatware too, and your vase. Beautiful!
Your lace and rosebud china is so delicate and pretty. The roses from your husband certainly do look perfect with it!

I love your china. The pink flowers are so delicate - exactly the pattern a tea set should have! And to have it named after you, it was meant to be! ;o)
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing, and I'm excited to try the cookie recipe too, so great for fall! God bless~
Your china reminds me of a set that my grandmother had. We used to have coffee in that same set. Thank you for reminding me of a beautiful moment we shared.
