Its hard to believe that its has been a couple weeks since the grand opening at the shop on October 16th. But some how, time slipped away. I had a fabulous time and was so pleased to see so many friends. I know it was true for me, but I certainly hope that a good time was had by all. Thank you to everyone who shared the day with me.

Time flies when you're having fun and we're having a blast. I can't believe it is this late in September already and Corn Fest has officially begun...

Week 1 of the new shop went well. Thanks to everyone who stopped in. It was nice to see so many familiar faces and meet new tea drinkers. Hoped you liked what you saw - even though it is still very much a work in progress... We will continue to add more products, so please stop back again. We are planning a grand opening in mid-September - the date is yet to be determined. We'll keep you posted. Thanks again for all your support. Hope to see you again soon.

New Store Opening August 11
We've been busy getting things ready for our new storefront - and its coming together nicely. Our plan is to be open by Tuesday, August 11. We are still at Milltown Market - just in a smaller space. The owners have provided a great spot for us close to the check-out counter.

French Country Market August 8
We'll also be at the next French Country Market again at Canal Port in Morris on Saturday, August 8 from 8 am to 2 pm. I've met so many wonderful tea drinkers at the market. It looks like it could be a warm day so be sure and stop by and try out a sample of our ice tea. I'm having a great time - in spite of the heat... Hope to see you there.

Come see us at the French Country Market on Saturday, July 11 from 8 until 2. We'll have more free samples - different from last month. So please stop by. Work is progressing on our new shop in Morris. It won't be long now... Keep checking back for more updates. And don't forget, drink more tea....
