Southern Charm's Charming Tea Room

Welcome!

A few weeks ago, Greg and I got to go to the official grand opening of Southern Charm's Tea Room in Bell Buckle, Tennessee, and we're glad we did! We had a wonderful time!

(The quaint little town of Bell Buckle is no stranger to this blog, as I've written about it before. Please see my 4/28/13 and 6/21/14 blog posts for more about Bell Buckle.)

Southern Charm has "Gifts, Fashion, Accessories, Home Decor"...

And now, a tea room-

Southern Charm even had an official ribbon cutting for the opening of the new tea room. The mayor of Bell Buckle assisted Bethaney, one of Southern Charm's owners, with the ribbon cutting. (Greg and I were excited about being there because we'd never been to a ribbon cutting before!)

The personable Judy Osborne started the tea room.

These ladies are busily preparing all of the goodies.

The decor and Christmas decorations were exquisite!

The complimentary appetizers, desserts and drinks we had for the grand opening were superb!  

Perhaps our favorite was this fantastic yellow cake.

(Did you ever feel like you were in the middle of a wonderful dream that you didn't want to end?)

Greg and I love everything about this small town, including the friendliness of the people who seem to keep the spirit of Christmas alive all through the year.

Bell Buckle, Revisited

Welcome!

Some places are so interesting that you just have to return to them.  Bell Buckle, Tennessee is one of those places.

When Greg asked me what I'd like to do on my actual birthday (My early birthday celebration with my family is on my 2/10/14 blog post.), and without hesitation, I said that I'd like to go back to Bell Buckle.
 (For more about Bell Buckle, please see my 4/28/13 blog post.)

I'm so happy we did get to go back to Bell Buckle because we had a wonderful time, just as we did on our previous visit.

Our first stop was the Bell Buckle Cafe for my birthday dinner for two.

 

After our wonderful meal, we shared a complimentary piece of delicious (birthday) oatmeal cake with caramel sauce.

 

We then strolled around town and looked at some shops.

One of my favorites was Southern Charm...

where I bought myself a pretty little glass potted plant with some of my birthday money.

It fits perfectly on one of our bedside tables where I needed a third object.  (It's always good to have an odd number in arrangements of items.)

  As this ice cream parlor sign shows, R C Colas and Moon Pies are big in Bell Buckle, so much so that  they even have the RC-Moon Pie Festival in June.  We plan to go to that one and maybe more of their several festivals this year.  Should be a lot of fun!

For a small town, they sure do have a lot going on there.  We can't wait to return!

Positive thought:  Do something fun this week to brighten up your winter.
Thanks for visiting!  Until next Sunday, Becky
