tea for two

There's somethin about a hot cup of tea on a cold freezing your nips off, NH afternoon. For part of my mom's christmas gift, I bought an awesome Groupon deal for a local tea house we had never been to before. It was adorable. I had white rose tea and my mom had some type of oolong tea. Both were fantastic. 

The simplicity of this place got my wheels turning. It would be so do-able to open my own little shop someday. Especially with an emphasis on tea. There are sooo many coffee places, which I love. But tea is fantastic too! There are so many different flavors and types and it is so easy to make. It's also healthier for me to drink because my coffee is usually so full of yummy flavored creamer that it can't be considered healthy.

So I am going to store this little thought in the back of my mind and maybe I'll re-visit it one day. And who knows, maybe one day you'll stop in the adorable new tea house on the corner 10 years from now, and we'll meet :]

Well I'm about to board my plane and head off to Missouri! Christmas break was restful, fun, and always an adventure with my crazy family. But now it's back to the reality of being a full time college student! A crazy, hectic schedule awaits.

ta ta for now :] Dream Big dear readers!!

my cup of tea

I recently decided that I could use a good cup of tea. Some friends and I took off one Saturday afternoon to Bolivar, MO to go to the Tea Garden Cafe. It was a fun adventure and a great weekend excursion away from my hectic college schedule! I also got to try out my new camera for the first time.

Afternoon tea at its finest

Their coffee was served in a cup and saucer too! Love it.



The little details at the cafe gave it so much character. Big old windows, vintage wallpaper, and giant mirrors made for some fun photos. I need to remember to always make time in my schedule for simple adventures like this one. Refreshing and delicious! Where to next?

Cheerio!
