Sssh - don't tell anyone ....

We finally took down the brown paper on Monday.

It's official - we are OPEN!

But please don't tell anyone.  We have quite a few kinks to still work out and the Blending Bar is not ready, and someone dinged my wall and the notice board is not up and ....

Thank goodness No. 2 Daughter - Hilary - is here to lend a hand.

And here's our first official customer of the day - Ruth.  We let her in early because she was sailing on the noon tide.  Come back soon!

Assistant Manager Melanie and CelebriTea Baker Teana (I promise I did not make her change the spelling of her name!)

More friends stopped by, and poor Ken the postman got a bit of a shock when he tried to deliver out first official mail (all bills of course.)

Judith and George Deacon

Jary and Jay

The Lovely Linda Livingston

Cindy and Nathan from the Old Consulate Inn

Our first Tea Shirt sale!

Yummy babies - just as delicious as CelebriTea Baker Sarah's OMG Cookies

 

 Tea Mavens and CelebriTea Bakers are all fired up and ready to go. 

 We had a  Pre Opening Celebration to thank everyone who helped build and launch the store. 

 Beautiful flowers from so many people, including sister Penny and hubby Andre in Spain.

We even had Maven Jan's hubby Larry pipe us on our way, and Drywaller Extraordinaire Lon's wife Peggy serenade us with her witty lyrics and lovely voice.  Good times ahead!

 So, okay, come on in.  We really are ready (sort of.)
