We started a little tradition last year during Thanksgiving Weekend. On Friday after Thanksgiving the girls head to Goodwill to shop the sales in hopes of finding some little treasure for real cheap and then we go out to eat. Last year we decided on tea at a favorite spot of Lana G.’s and mine but since that time our sweet tea shop changed hands and we’re not impressed with the new establishment. We were hoping to continue the tea tradition after Goodwill shopping. Well I’m so happy to say a new Tea Shop has opened in Downtown Bothell and we have reservations for 11:45 on Friday after Thanksgiving and Goodwill. Yippee! We hope all the usual suspects will be able to come!

I’ll take lots of photos from the new spot Three Cups of Tea and show you all in December…
Happy Tea Things Tuesday to you all. Please visit Kim at Shabby, Pink and Pretty for more Tea Things…
Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

Yummy. That is a very fun tradition. I’m sure you’ll find treasures at the Goodwill too. You never cease to amaze when you show us your latest discoveries. I checked out that tea site and went right to the dessert menu – looks mighty tasty. You and the usual suspects will have a good time.
Hi, Ellen,
It looks like you girls are having a lot of fun! I hope you enjoy the new tea room. Please keep us posted. Blessings to you! Vicki
What wonderful memories you’ve got there, with your girls and aunts at tea! I love that so much…I also try to create special moments with my grandgirls,and one of our favorites is going to tea, or even having tea here at the house. You and your family are beautiful, Ellen…what a blessing they are! Hoping you have many more wonderful moments of sharing at your new place…looking forward to seeing the photos!
God bless,
Mary
Such beautiful girls all of them. I can’t wait to see your new tea room adventures and I do hope it lives up to your expectations ;-).

What a great idea you had for starting your after Thanskgiving tradition of shopping and then taking tea in a wonderful tea room with your family and friends. Sounds like the perfect sort of day to me. All the ladies look like they are having so much fun it makes me wish I could have been there too!!
