"Southern" town in central Florida & TEA

Sissy could hardly wait to check out this historic B&B...she's almost running. Don't y'all love the YELLOW on this house?!? It makes me smile.


Found this darling English cottage tea room, but as you see, it was closed. I will be returning.


Here is another Tea room ~ restaurant I must check into as well. What a lovely "Southern" town I have found, here in the heart of central Florida!

Hi....I saw your blog post at Mille Fleur and had to come over. My husband and I just had lunch at the Windsor Rose Tearoom a couple of weeks ago. It is charming and the food is wonderful.

I live in Orlando.

Your puppy in the below post is precious and that town is so cool. It looks very much like the town I grew up in. Oh the memories. My girls and I love to have tea.

Love the looks of the B&B. I'm not much for tea, but I'd like to check this place out too. Looks like a nice town.

Jenni said...

It looks like a wonderful little town! I love the yellow house, too! The style of the house is also lovely! :)

We were just in your state of Florida for a vacation, and the weather was like our summers here in Western Washington! (Perfect.) I loved the sun there! :)

I hope you are doing well! Have a good night!

Blessings,
Jenni

Yellow also makes me happy...so sunny and bright.

This reminds me of our little town here in Texas. My sister lives next door to a B and B in the historic town. (I don't live in the city limit) There is also a great tea room. I love hot tea!

Bloggin bout my Boys said...

We are coming to central Fla in April and my friend always raves about some of the cute tea houses. Maybe while all my guys do a Dad and son afternoon, I can slip away for a bit to one with her.I was at Mt. Dora years ago and loved it! I found your blog back when you were still in Mich on my good friend Joni's at OCF. Wish I could have met you at a Tea PARTY if not a tea room HA! Glad to see you are all settled and loving the south again. My Dad says it has been a rough icy winter over where he lives by Deland. But you escaped the snow in a big way! Love the new puppy too! TOO CUTE! Blessings, Sue in Mich.

Wanted to tell you that it would be fine for your daughter to read Cherries in Winter. The author wrote about losing her job and remembering her roots through recipes. :)

LisaShaw said...

Wow! I don't live close by you but I may have to check out these areas.

My daughter and I found a tea place near us the other day but it was closed. It was difficult to see through the tented glass to see if it was an actual sit down tea place or just one that sold gourmet teas etc.

Blessings. Enjoyed the photos.
