Class, Tea for Two and A New Project

Dear Tea Lovers,

In case you missed it our Valentine’s Day Tea was a great success!  We had the most men in the tea room at one time since we opened in 2003.  It looked so beautiful at night.  I think we’ll do more evening teas in the future. Pictures will be posted later this week.

I have so much to tell you!  I’ve been busy working on a few new projects.  Babette Donaldson and I are starting a new tea membership community.  (For those of you who don’t know or remember her, she writes the darling Emma Lea books.  She’s signed books at our children’s events).

The benefits of the membership would include a membership card valid with participating tea rooms and with specific tea vendors, who in turn would offer you special discounts and special membership only events.  The membership website will be content rich, full of tea information, videos, on-line classes, and a directory of tea rooms.  There would be a forum where tea lovers could discuss their favorite teas.  We would host tea experts like James Norwood Pratt and Jane Pettigrew to add value to the site through interviews, columns and videos. We’re very excited!  I can’t wait to share all the details with you.  An Afternoon to Remember will be hosting the first membership event in March or April.  We’re working on my favorite tea guy, James Norwood Pratt.  We’ll let you know as soon as the details are finalized.  I can’t wait to tell you more!

Last but not least, our upcoming events:

• Don’t forget to take advantage of our Tea for Two offer.  It ends February 27th.
• Wednesday is our first class with Certified Retreat and Life Coach Cindie Wilding.  Join us this Wednesday on February 18 at 9:00 am for tea and scones and some lovely tips on taking wonderful care of YOU.
• Special Hands-On Scone Making Class – March 2nd

Have a wonderful week!  I know it’s dreary and rainy, but perk yourself up with a cup of nice hot tea!
