Welcome to an October’s edition of Tea on Tuesdays,
a celebration of tea on the third Tuesday of every month.
Pam and I are excited to welcome our special guest
Bonnie at Living with Thanksgiving, today!
We’re glad you’re here, pour yourself a cuppa and join us . . .
With Halloween less than two weeks away,
Rod and Rowena came out of the closet to enjoy
some fresh air on the porch and teatime!
Rowena has always been a tea enthusiast. She says
there’s nothing like a cup of tea to cure what ails you!

She cackled with glee when she found this adorable Jack o’ lantern teapot
while shopping at HomeGoods.
She was happy to have an excuse to polish up the family silver for teatime!
She’s partial to Chai Tea and likes it sweetened
with an orange rock candy swizzle stick!
Rod is not a tea drinker so Rowena made him a cup of
Dead Ringer Double Chocolate Hot Cocoa
to warm his bones.
Bona Lisa joined Rod and Rowena on the porch for teatime. . .
She’s a happy pup who loves her bones and treats,
but is cold-natured. Rowena bought her a sweater to keep her warm
but she’s so bony, it’s hard to find one that fits. 🦴💀🐾
Rod says Halloween is all about the treats!
He has quite the sweet tooth and they both love to eat candy corn by the handful.
Halloween comes but once a year, so Rowena made sure there were plenty of treats.
She’s a little worried about Rod, as he can’t seem to keep any weight on. . .
She found Sugar Skull Cookies and Kit Kat
Breaking Bones White Creme Candy Bars
while shopping at Target, another favorite haunt. . .
They have the cracking of crispy wafers and the frightful flavor of bone-white creme!
Rod was craving a caramel apple so he asked Rowena
if she would pick him up one when she was shopping.
Rowena loves Rod’s beautiful smile, so she was a little concerned
about him eating a caramel apple as it’s been about 100 years
since his last visit to the dentist . . .
Rowena decided she needed something savory to go with her tea
so she made some pimento cheese sandwiches.
She used the same cookie cutter she used for her Spooky Spinach Tortilla Chips.
I hope Rod and Rowena tickled your funny bone today. . .
Thank you and my Tea on Tuesday friends for indulging my silly post and Halloween fun!

Mary, You have tickled my funny bone today! You have served some delightful treats to the Skeleton crew for “Tea on Tuesday”. Rod, Rowena, and Bona Lisa are so cleverly staged and I eagerly awaited each photo.This is an amazing and creative Halloween tea. So fun!
You find the cutest dishes and linens!
What a fun post, Mary! I always enjoy visiting virtually with Rowena and Rod. Have a frighteningly harrowed Halloween.
Rod and Rowena definitely tickled my funny bone this morning. Rowena looks quite fetching in her colorful scarf and spider adorned hat. She made an excellent choice at HG with her new Jack o’ lantern teapot. It must be nice to be able to eat all the treats and never have to worry about weight gain. I think Rod is enjoying his porch time and a dose of Vitamin D. The couple look rather pale. Rowena found the cutest treats at Target, wish I had a Target and HG close by. You have put the fun in teatime!
Mary it is always a special treat to join you for Tea On Tuesdays 🧡🎃
I enjoyed this delightful tea time with Rowena and Rod. So much fun!
WHAT FUN with Rowena and family!!! 🎃🎃🎃🎃
What a delightful way to start the day – I loved everything about it! So fun. Thanks for sharing Mary!!
Adorable–and clever as always!
What an incredible amount of…thought…props…food…you had me w/that caramel apple, though…franki
I always enjoy Rod and Rowena’s clever adventures and you always inspire me to be creative!
I look forward to Rod and Rowena’s adventures at this time of year. Always a delight. Thanks, Mary. Have a spooktacular Halloween!
Mary, I loved when you feature Rowena, Rod and the puppy!!! I am still on a learning curve on how to dress my Hetty, not so easy, lol! Plus, thank you, thank you, thank you for the beautiful table cloth with the matching napkin rings!!!!
It’s so beautiful, I love it!!! My husband didn’t notice I had purchased the 5′ skeleton and dressed her, that was so easy, I may need to buy another one!!! Love, love, love, every detail with today’s ‘tea-on-the porch!
Hugs, Debbie
Mary, Rod, Rowena and Bona Lis’a tea adventures is bone cracking fun. Definitely tickled my funny bone. I love their outfits and those treats have me craving some sweets. What a fun find in the jack-o-lantern teapot. Love the cute little black and white coffee cups. As I have always said, you are a child at heart with a vivid imagination.
This is all so you, your love of the macabre endures year after year, them bones won’t die! Heck with good eats I’d be back year after year 😉
This could not be any cuter Mary! The teapot is adorable, and you have so many wonderful Halloween treats! Rod and Rowena certainly know how to dress up for the occasion and Bona Lisa cracked me up! So much Halloween fun, I will be smiling all day 👻
Good Morning Mary! How fun was this! Rod, Rowena and Bona Lisa are too darn cute. And for them to all have tea together is such a darling and creative endeavor! Thank you for my morning giggles. Happy Tuesday!
I look forward to each season as you entertain with this wonderful blog. Thank you
Rod, Rowen and Bona Lisa definitely touched my funny bone today, quite humerus! 😉 some of their friends live in our neighborhood – Eddie & Edith. Eddie was too busy painting Edith’s portrait to stop for tea (I’ll have to send you a picture), but I’d gladly take their spot to join R&R. thise treats are amazing! Love the teapot and recent food finds. R&R are livin’ the good life after all these years…
So cute Mary! You sure do Halloween right! 🎃 Thanks for the lovely silliness this morning!
Wow, feels more fun than going to a play or a haunted house these days. You could be in theater, but this is more fun.
Rod, Rowena and Bona Lisa definitely tickled my funny bone! This has been a crazy year for me so I did not get to decorate for Halloween which I really miss. Mary to the rescue! Just love all your Halloween spooktacular! Thanks for cheering me up and filling in with so much creativity and fun!
🎃 🦇Love the adventures of Rod and Rowena! They live quite a “lively” life!

This is too much, Mary ! I love the skeleton crew and their dog!!! There’s even a dog…I can’t even….and who knew that there are Kit Kat Breaking Bones?!?!? I like the skull finger sandwiches, too. Such a cute and spooky idea for your front porch. :D
This is just fabulous and I would much rather a FUN tea than being all serious:):) Your skeleton crew are ALL dressed perfectly. Thanks for the smiles today.
I always enjoy my visits with Rowena and Rod and Bona Lisa. I’ll have a cup of Chai with Rowena and of course, I’d love some treats. The skull pimento cheese sandwiches look so tasty, and then I’ll go for the sweets. Thanks for the fun tea party, Mary, with your skeleton crew.
Mary this is a SPOOKTACULAR Tea party . Thank You for the invitation.
