We recently had a tea room open in our area and I thought it would be fun to try while
Ceekay was visiting.
If you know anything about Ceekay, you know she loves tea rooms and has been to MANY of them. Some very high priced ones, too. I say that, to say this, our tea room only charged $12.00 for a buffet that you could go back to as many times as you wanted.
The setting is in a bakery, the one that made my birthday cake, so I knew the food would be good. I just didn't know how GOOD! It's not as fancy as some but pretty enough. It's on a sun porch to the side of the bakery and florist.
They had fresh pretty flowers on the tables.
It was a bright sunny day and we could enjoy the Fall colors outside the windows.
They had a table with an urn of hot water. A sweet lady named Shirley brought us a pot of hot water and then you selected which tea you wanted.
Shirley made all the sandwiches with fresh bread baked that day. She also made the scones, which we out of this world delicious!
There were three kinds of sandwiches. Cucumber, pimento, and chicken salad. All three were wonderful.
We had a fresh bowl of mixed fruit as well.
Looks at the fresh flowers on top of the tiered tray. So cute! You can see the lemon curd and a little of the Devonshire cream that Shirley made.
Pretty wreath above the table.
Fresh flowers from the florist.
Of all the tea rooms
Ceekay has been to she has never had a crumpet. Me either! Now she can say she has. Have any of you had them??
Shirley was sweet enough to take our pic. and send us on our way with a goodies box full of crumpets and extra scones. She wanted my hubby to try them and for Ceekay to have some for breakfast the next day.
Ceekay said she had never had better tasting food at any Tea Room. It was a hit with both of us! lol
I hope you're having a good week! Till next time!
......... to this! It sure opens things up and lets more light in!
So nice to have everything back to normal, isn't it?
I always have to check back and look at pictures before the decorating to know where things were sitting. lol Anyone else have to do that?
I brought out the snowmen and women and I'll share them soon. Thanks for stopping by and taking time from your busy schedule. Have a great week!

The front staircase.
Looks who's at the top of the landing. He's checking to see if we've naughty or nice.
Some snowmen on the kitchen counter. See...I trapped a snowman head and tucked it in with some snowballs to keep him from melting.
Here's one that got away and hopped on a candlestick. He doesn't know how close he is to
Thanks for stopping by! Are you all ready for Christmas or do you have more shopping, baking, etc. to do.
It was also Halloween and they enjoyed seeing my two grandchildren that live here. The house across the street likes to go all out! This couple has never had children but love to do this for the neighborhood.
