A while ago, Gramma Jean tipped me off about this darling little tea shop that she knew the girls would enjoy. Needing a special outing, Ella, Delia and I dressed in our best and checked it out this morning. We'll definitely be going back...with friends!
The tea shop holds about a dozen tables, all elegantly dressed with chair covers, a variety of china cups and saucers and every piece you could possibly need for a fancy tea party (little spoons! leaf presses! mini-strainers! linen napkins!) The girls immediately ransacked the dress up section, piling as many capes, boas, strings of pearls, tiaras, veils, hats, bracelets and fans on themselves as was possible.
Then we ordered. Off the a-la-cart menu, we picked a platter of mini-desserts, hot chocolate for the girls and a pot of pomegranate oolong for me. They make their tea with actual leaves and it was delicious! The hot chocolate must have been pretty good too, Delia drank 3 whole cups of it!
Though we stayed for over an hour, sipping our drinks, having some girl-talk and admiring the shelves of collectible tea pots, Ella was still not ready to go. "I looove this place! Can't we stay all day?" she begged.
The service was lovely, the price reasonable and the ambiance super-fun. If you are local, have daughters and are looking for something very girlie and special to do, we give this place 6 pinkies up! :)

What a fun time you girls had together! I love the picture of Delia. Glad you enjoyed your tea party. Can't wait to take the girls to a special place when they come in.
