Happy Holidays from Sugar's Tearoom |
 "Perhaps that is the true gift of a teatime celebration: It fills our cups with joy and warmth and friendship. May the echo of the teacups' message be heard not only at Chrismtas, not only on special occasions, but anytime friends come together."
-Emile Barnes
The Tearoom will be closed for the holidays through February 2, 2012. However, if you would like to speak with someone, we will be checking for phone messages weekly. We look forward to seeing you at the Valentine Tea in February. Until then, have a safe and happy holiday!
