I lay awake in bed at night and in my mind's eye, drive up and down the streets in my hometown looking for just the right old house or abandoned building which would make the perfect tearoom. I decorate every room with wallpaper and furnishings, and dream about the menu. I have dedicated the next year to research, reading, networking, and visiting tearooms in order that I might develop a plan to open a tearoom here in my hometown. The tea party is a spa for the soul. You leave your cares and work behind.
Busy people forget their business.
Your stress melts away, your senses awaken . . . Being an avid reader, my bookshelves are overflowing, but my tea books are kept together on a separate shelf. Tea books can contain the most beautiful photographs. They are so inspiring to me. Take a look at some of the books about tea on my bookshelf . . .
