Hello dear friends!

We are closed for a wedding on this beautiful autumn day. šŸ‚

As the leaves, persuaded by the crisp morning air are showing us their final glory, they surrender to the seasons change and the sky seems a bit more bright and blue in contrast.

What a wonderful time to slow down, take a deep breath and reflect. Brew a pot of tea and simply sip and savour the moment. Perhaps with a friend?

We wanted to share this little article about the lost art of inviting people over. We hope you enjoy reading it and are inspired to spend time with a friend or loved one.

We tend to make hospitality so complicated! The lost art of inviting people over has been replaced by expectation.

We love having fresh roses to add to our tea tiers!

We are honored to be mentioned in this article about tea, and to meet the lovely Bailey Bowerman. Thanks for taking time to have tea with us, we look forward to serving you again soon šŸ„°

When I gave up coffee and cocktails to help my body and mind heal, I immediately pictured a life devoid of indulgence, celebration, and fun. I knew Iā€™d lose all my friends, become a shut-in, and feel restricted without a way to start my day or unwind.Ā  I was so wrong.Ā  After a while, I...

Valentineā€™s Day comes to an end for the Brambleberry Cottage & Tea Shoppe and the Kikiā€™s.

Today, I joined the ladies for a second Saturday in a row to serve them and our guests in anyway that I could: dishes. šŸ„°

It was a fun day of romance and celebration. So many returned to the Brambleberry for their 2nd or 20th time to enjoy the ā€œLadies of the Cottage.ā€

Some of my favorite moments today find their legacy in memories.

One long time guest talked about the years bringing her daughter, who has passed. As she left, she hugged Dawn to tell her that every time she comes to the Cottage she feels loved and comforted in her memories of taking her daughter through the years. But it is Dawn that always remembers and takes time for her.

In addition, sitting at my Great Auntā€™s tea cart was a young couple. She talked about coming here with her grandma as a young girl. This was the first time back since thenā€”with a young man. ā¤ļø

In our upstairs rooms, we had two ladies, one in each room, that had never been to the Cottage. Before each left, they came down to see Dawn and say thank you.

One gave Dawn a big hug filled with verbal blessings. The other wanted to see where the magic took place.

Owning a restaurant is hard work, but truthfully, I donā€™t think we own a restaurant; I think we own a magical place that creates memories for a lifetime over tea. ā¤ļø

Another amazing day by Dawn, Morgan, Kathy, and Rachel. We are all blessed.

Nothing says LOVE like Valentineā€™s Day. For the past couple weeks, the Brambleberry Cottage & Tea Shoppe has been celebrating LOVE with our Valentineā€™s Day themed tea.

Personally, Valentineā€™s Day has always been a chance to reboot. This Wednesdayā€”on Valentineā€™s Dayā€”Dawn and I share our 32 Wedding Anniversary.

It will be the first to say that I could and should have been a husband, but this time of year always bring out my heart for my bride and I know that tomorrow always will bring me another chanceā€”I pray.

So . . . a little over a week ago, Dawn asked if I would come help the next two Saturdays as she had a full house at the tea shop. Of course, I said yes. However, this Saturday was different than every other day I have served at our restaurant.

Today, I did dishes for almost 5 hours. Nothing says LOVE like doing dished for 5 hours. I am a competitive guy, so I wanted to keep the kitchen clean and moving, which I think I did. But for real, I just felt that this was the best way I could help the ladies do what they do best.

But the true romance of the day was in the food and staff. Patricia, a longtime customer, said it best when she shared with meā€”yes, I still found time to touch tablesā€”that the true reason she comes to the Cottage is not for the tea, which is amazing; itā€™s for the girls and the food.

I agree 100% the girls are amazing: Dawn, Morgan, Lisa, and Kathy. Like she has done for 28 years, Dawn continues to wow customers with her vision.

It is on days like this that I find myself humbled, proud, and more in LOVE with my wife.

Happy Valentineā€™s Day from our LOVE to yourā€™s. See you Saturday . . . maybe . . . I'll be doing dishes.
