We've just graduated another kiddo through Driver's Ed!! What a feat!! Driving into town 2x a day (a 20 minute drive, one way, not to mention road construction!!) One day, after the pick up, I hopped into my friend's shop on the square in Indianola...what a special surprise awaited!!   Isn't this a lovely teapot??!  Beth & Dennette  Beth and Dennette's shop, Burlap & Roses, is on the square in Indianola and is filled with all kinds of fun things...if you haven't had a chance to stop in, you must...of course, after you've had tea at Miss Spenser's!!

Once Upon a Tea Cup - Dreams Really Do Come True

Well, friends, today is the day…my mom and I will be flying out of Des Moines Airport to Chicago, and then on an overnight flight to London!! We will be in their fair country for 6 days; then heading on to Germany for 2 weeks. We are so excited! We hope to share pictures with you along the way…so stay posted.  This little dream started about 8 years ago, over a cup of tea. My mom and I discovered how much we enjoyed the ritual of a cup of afternoon tea…I was 14 at the time. One day, my mother came up with the brilliant idea that we would travel to England when I graduated in 4 years and have tea with the Queen! (smiles). We shared our grandiose idea with dear ole’ dad and he said, “That’s nice, how do you plan on funding your trip?” Well, naturally, we thought he would, so since he wasn’t offering, we put our heads together and came up with our tea business to help fund our way.  Finally, we are fulfilling this dream! Thank you to all of our tea friends...
