Sweet Shalom Tea Room – May 2021

I am going to devote the next three posts to the Sweet Shalom Tea Room…our visits for May, June and July. Earlier this summer the dear owners of Sweet Shalom Tea Room, Chris Kruse and Sara Velasquez, made the announcement they will be closing their tea room after 20 years of doing their wonderful themed teas by the end of this summer 2021. Reasons given are due to health, age, energy and that it seems to be a good time to put their beautiful tea room house on the market. David and I have so many happy memories with Sweet Shalom…definitely going to miss going to tea there and seeing our special friends. As I put together this post my emotions are weepy.

Here is our May visit…

Our table for two in the gift shop room.
The bright and lovely centerpiece.
My personalized menu with May’s theme…”In Honor of the Ladies – Our Mothers, Sisters, Aunts, and Daughters”.
Warm cream scones with jam and butter.
Always a refreshing cup of black tea for me!

    Wow!! The ladies did a beautiful job on the decorations and the food looks scrumptious!!!! I know Cristy that you and David will miss Sweet Shalom greatly. Maybe you and the ladies can find a new place where the four of you can meet once a month. Thanks for sharing❣❣🥰
