A Visit to a Tea Shop

Pearls
Grace, Emily and I went to our first tea this past weekend. We put on our fancy dresses and pearls for the occasion.

Grace and Emily
We went with several other moms and girls from our Faith Keeper's group and had a nice time visiting with everyone.

Gift Shop
The front of the shop is a little boutique.

Teashop
And the tea room is in the back.

Pink lemonade
Grace had pink lemonade.

Teapot
Emily and I had hot tea.

Scones
The menu was cucumber sandwiches, scones, fruit and lemon bars.

We also did a little shopping at a nearby antique mall. I will show you what we got for show and tell on Friday. Thank you for stopping by for a visit. I hope you have a great start to your week!

    A tea with your daughters sounds so lovely. They are so pretty and look wonderful all dressed up for the tea with mom. Our town had a lovely tea room which served fabulous lunches and I miss it since it went out of business.

  27. What a lovely outing for you and your two daughters.
    I was so sad when the local tea house closed because the owner decided to undertake another venture. But I'll always remember taking my mother there for tea and scones.

    HI Kelli! The girls look like such little ladies. I bet Mom was all dolled up too. I was wondering what did the "boys" do when the girls were out together?

    Love, Debbi

  42. Grace & Emily are beauitful girls. How fun to have a tea with them, and at such a cute place. I love "Tea,tang,& twist", a recipe that my mama made. Looks sunny where you are, but it's cold cold cold here in Kentucky.
    Have a great day,

  43. Kelli:

    Now I feel so deprived that I live in the sticks. I am going to look in the phone book of a not so far big city and see if there is a tea room. My mom and grandma used to take me to The Robin Hood Inn when I was little where we had tea and girly food. Your girls look so sweet.

    Have a Wonderful Day

  44. What a lovely outing for you and your girls. They look beauiful in all their finery.

    My niece's HighSchool Advanced Placement Teacher took her student's to an authentic HIGH TEA upon her retirement. She said every girl should experience a tea at least once in her life. And she was right!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Sounds and looks like fun!

    I was 20 something when I went to my first real tea. Great experience for the girls!

    ReplyDelete
  46. You just described my perfect day...a new found tea room (with a little boutique) and a nearby antique shop..shared with my daughter and friend!! What a fun day!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Oh I am so jealous! I have been thinking about going to one in Savannah around St. Patty's day. I have been working with an English doc that loves TEA & CRUMPETS WITH CLOTTED CREAM! I am dying to try some. If I go around St. Patty's day..the fountains in old Savannah will be green! Cool huh!

  51. Oh what a lovely idea. I talked about taking my granddaughter to a tea room when I lived far away. I think I'll try to do that during one of the school breaks. We'll put on our finery and go to Emma's. I can't wait.

  56. I love your tea with the girls! I want a lemon bar! I am sure you know how to make them, do they taste like a lemon pie? I want a recipe! No one in my family likes lemon pastry, but they eat lemons! I don't eat lemons, but love the pies! The lemon bar looks so yummy!

    What fun, Kel! I haven't been to a tea shoppe in a long time! I think that my last time was my best friend's baby shower that we threw...and her Elijah will be five this year. I've long overdue for a visit. ;o) Maybe Grace and I will try a local one out in the next few weeks - great way to get past the winter doldrums! (I'd much rather be in TX right now, LOL!)
