In this country there are some pretty nice little tea shoppes. Many have been suspended during the pandemic and are just opening up now. We have a sweet little shop nearby where I have visited and entertained often.
Decorated with vintage and antique furniture, the atmosphere is quaint yet friendly.
This photo is from a prior event, our scheduled party last week had to be postponed.
After pandemic limitations, this little local shop is open again, one of my favorite places. We are gathering there next Monday, can't wait. The Christmas decorations are up and I have a few more little purchases to make. Yippee!
