I received a complimentary lunch for my April birthday. You can sign up for their birthday club and also to receive emails on special events, etc. There has been talk of trying to start a reading group at the tea room, like they had at Miss Lila's Tea Room in Fairburn (now closed).<br><br>I'd like to see a better selection of classic black tea and more products in the gift shop. However, they are limited by the space available. This is one of the tearooms that is not too far from where I live. The other closest is Miss Bessie's in Barnesville, which is a lovely tearoom and they have just changed locations to obtain more floorspace.<br><br>I enjoyed your photos of Aunt Laura's.parTea ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17106196613047314184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-47890592470738312442008-05-05T09:28:00.000-04:002008-05-05T09:28:00.000-04:00Looking at the picture of the three-tier tray, I&#...Looking at the picture of the three-tier tray, I'm wondering why so few shops set the tray up in the proper manner as written in Dorothea Johnson's book on tea etiquette. She is the founder of the long established and well recognized Protocol School of Washington. The savories go on the bottom plate, the scones in the middle and the sweets on the top. The idea is to eat from the bottom up letting the savories blunt one's appetite before beginning the sweets. I love the little sense of ritual that goes with tea.Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-84130195228001308862008-05-05T09:36:00.000-04:002008-05-05T09:36:00.000-04:00Hey Angela,Happy Belated Birthday!!!

Since receiving such positive words regarding Aunt Laura's I'm looking forward to taking my granddaughter and enjoying it for myself. I had not heard a lot of positive feed back on it and was disappointed when a friend came back with negative reviews, but you certainly have more tea experience than they and I am once again excited to try.

I'm a little biased since Laura is my cousin and the server is my favorite Aunt Sandy. You describe her perfectly!!

Aunt Laura's did a wonderful job of making everyone feel "right at home." We all left full and inspired, and my friend felt supported and ready for her cancer journey. ps--after lumpectomy, she's doing radiation, and things are going well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-49620498999668385982008-06-01T21:30:00.000-04:002008-06-01T21:30:00.000-04:00I think that you should bring a store over to Peac...I think that you should bring a store over to Peachtree City. We have a lot of empty buildings over here too. And we don't have a bakery either. We really need one! This shop is also really cute! I would love to have one <br> over here! and also, would you hire a 15 year old?Bellanoreply@blogger.com
