Guess what today was??? Employee tea day! It has been a running tradition here at the tearoom for the entire staff to go to tea together once a year. Due to a couple emergencies we had 2 missing but I sure enjoyed having tea with these guys!!! Love them so much. And guess what? We tried a new tearoom. This time it was at Fleur de Lis Tea and Events in Picayune. It was so nice having Dianne and her staff take such good care of us at her beautiful tearoom. And y'all those scones are to die for!!

Y'all I am over here bawling from this article. I will not lie to you, running this tearoom is a labor of love and I have considered closing many times. This article is just what I needed to give me the impetus to keep going. 😢 See you soon.

Sipping British tea at this spot will make you feel like you’ve landed in the middle of London instead of Mississippi.
