Got the Travel Bug?
A recent customer was travelling over
the Memorial Day holiday weekend and
wanted to bring her hosts an unusual
gift. She was excited about bringing
them a praying mantis egg case, but
soon became concerned that the eggs
would hatch out in her suitcase and she
would have a mantis malfunction on her
hands. While I assured her that this
certainly wouldn't happen, as they take
about two weeks to hatch, she decided
in the end that one of our gourmet teas
would be a better choice.

Fairy Garden
Workshop
We held our first Fairy Garden
Workshop the first week of July and
it was a great time. People brought
their own containers and picked out
plants, fairies, and accessories.
Miniature gardens were born in
minutes! These gardens can live
indoors or out, bringing imagination
to life throughout the year.

| When a mantis comes for tea Like most children, my granddaughter is fascinated by bugs. She recently wanted to go praying mantis hunting in the backyard. After about 15 minutes we gave up and came back inside. Shortly after she left, Steve and I were standing looking out at the yard, and look what appeared INSIDE on the windowsill. We've named her Tinkerbell. |
Father's Day Funnies!
The Saturday before Father's Day we
served hot dogs from noon until 3:00.
Everyone seemed to enjoy them,
except one customer, who when I
offered a hot dog said "No thank you,
I'm a vegetarian."
I quickly glanced around the table,
desperately trying to locate something
else I could offer. Without hesitating, I
asked, "How about an onion and
mustard sandwich?"
We both got a chuckle out of that.
