This week’s classes and Pumpkin Pecan Scone Recipe
Hi Tea Lovers,
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for fall! I heard it was only supposed to be in the 80’s this week and the mornings are now cool. Yeah! Finally! For those of you who really know me, know I prefer unflavored and pure teas, but with the weather changing, I’m also ready for a change and a cup of delicious pumpkin creme tea with a nice hot pumpkin pecan scone. Can you tell I’m hungry? Recipe follows at the end of this e-mail.
I wanted to remind you about our classes this week.
