Sweet Shalom Tea Room – March 2021

Last Sunday David, Soapy and I ventured to Sylvania, Ohio for our March visit to the Sweet Shalom Tea Room. Appropriately the theme for March is “An Irish Tea”. As always we enjoyed the scenic drive, tasty food and relaxing ambiance of our monthly outing to Sweet Shalom. Thank You to co-owners Chris Kruse and Sara Velasquez, along with their dear staff members, for their loving hospitality!

Happy Shamrock Day!

Before the St. Patrick’s Day decorations are put away and my Easter decor takes over, here are a few images of my love of shamrocks. I had decided to keep my tall white “Christmas” tree up and decorate it for each holiday/season. We love its ambiance!

St. Patrick’s Tiered Tray

I spent the past weekend converting from my February Valentine decor to March’s St. Patrick’s decor. As much as I loved my Valentine theme throughout the house, I needed the change and to feel the invitation to Spring with the bright greens of shamrocks. This post features my three tiered tray that I have fun putting together for each holiday theme.
