Coffee Mug Soy Candles

 
As much as I think it is a terrible thing to actually ingest soy products, I think that soy candles are the absolute coolest. Seriously.

I was visiting Jan, at Jan and Tom’s today. She has such a heart for everyone and is always […]

Marc and I had a short coffee date this afternoon after our lovely morning at the VA which lead to a lovely afternoon at the Va if you know what I mean.
We needed this  coffee date.  BAD.

This Tea Time Fairy Might Grant Wishes

I love teapots. And really, you can’t have too many.
Seriously. Could you serve tea in a rooster teapot at a Valentines Day tea? See what I mean? It is important to be prepared for any tea party requirement.

How Tea Changed My Life in One Easy Step

Many years ago, as a harried homeschooling mom and perfect wife…and before I became an exhausted cookbook author and blogger person….I felt that I needed a break.

What Makes a Tea Room Over the Top?

 
Having owned a tea room this is a question that I think about often.  I do think we went to great lengths to be over the top.  The food was amazing, made with organics, flour that was freshly ground daily, real butter…
There were over 50 teas to choose from, and 25 coffees plus lattes and […]
