The leaves were changing, town was full and the tea room was popping with business... the potato soup on that day was purely heaven and the lace shop upstairs was wonderful. It inspired me so much that years later I opened a tea room in PA. Eureka and the Victorian Sampler are wonderful memories.Blake Mauneyhttps://www.facebook.com/blake.mauneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-28192616146037035732014-11-25T01:43:04.876-05:002014-11-25T01:43:04.876-05:00Ruth Spears was my Dad's cousin.

If anyone has an extra cookbook, I would love to purchase one. My Mom has that book and has made some wonderful things from it...especially the Coconut Cake.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-62983244486961000392014-08-22T21:21:36.599-04:002014-08-22T21:21:36.599-04:00Great Recipe.I like very much .And thanks for shar...Great Recipe.I like very much .And thanks for share with us<br /><a href="http://www.iloveeurekasprings.com/" rel="nofollow">Eureka Springs, Ark</a>aAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641584600917968995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-74567938034774400532013-11-30T21:17:33.838-05:002013-11-30T21:17:33.838-05:00Hi there!

I am a fellow tea aficionado who has been collecting tea from around the world since I was a little girl.<br /><br />My husband is from the Northwest Arkansas area and we will be there this holiday season visiting his daughters.<br /><br />I read that this tea room has closed, but was wondering if you know of any others in the Northwest Arkansas area?<br /><br />Many thanks, and I look forward to reading more of your blog!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865879520260764128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-64688249124465966752013-08-12T17:27:49.646-04:002013-08-12T17:27:49.646-04:00I just stumbled onto this blogger site since we ar...I just stumbled onto this blogger site since we are planning a trip this Fall to go back to Eureka Spgs. I was checking on line to see if the Victorian Tea Room was still operating. Over 20 yrs. ago I had their cold strawberry soup and quiche there...So DELICIOUS!! I ALSO BOUGHT their Victorian Sampler Cookbook and have it in my collection. THANK YOU for the special memory of this outstanding and memorable Tea Room!!!!!!!!Kaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-81014249291394514152013-02-25T08:53:52.174-05:002013-02-25T08:53:52.174-05:00This is another cookbook that can be found on my s...This is another cookbook that can be found on my shelves!

It was such a beautiful place and I have fond memories of it. I need to dig out the cookbook and try a few of the recipes again. I even have a cross-stitch kit with the original tea room on it--something else I need to dig out!<br /><br />I have had carrot soup, but not that particular recipe. There is a place in Springfield, Missouri called "Tea Bar & Bites" that makes a carrot-ginger soup that is really good. The food is wonderful there, and someplace you should visit if in the area!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431813880664876469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-44755864655969490672013-02-23T08:51:00.872-05:002013-02-23T08:51:00.872-05:00It looks yummy, Angela.
