A Lady who Lunched at Serenity Tea House
Hello and Happy Thirsty Thursday Darlings:
The Thrifty Debutante was a lady who lunches yesterday afternoon with a wonderful business associate.
With all the stress during the work week it was a welcome pleasure to have mid-day tea at the Serenity Garden and Tea House in West Palm Beach.
A peaceful vintage oasis located along busy Dixie Hwy just south of the Norton Art Museum.
Once you walk inside I promise you will feel instantly transported to a by-gone era. Mis-matched tea sets, floral wall paper,soft 1930s music playing in the background, delicious smells, vintage hats (which you can wear during tea service), the quiet maneuvering of the tea servers I was hooked.
The menu features an abundant amount of various teas, it is hard to pick one!
My partner and I decided on the pineapple, coconut, blackberry chai, lapsong mouchong with Madagascar vanilla.
Say that 3 times fast! For a light nibble we went with the Tea sandwich selection (finger sandwiches that included chicken salad, tuna, egg and a tomato/herb). Their menu includes daily soups, daily quiches, salads and a variety of sandwiches.
After the tea was poured into my dainty porcelain cup, nibble on my tea sandwich then the outside world disappeared. We launched into a lively conversation and a few fits of giggles.
Truly a magical afternoon where I felt like a real Lady.
Serenity Tea was opened in 1998 by Irish born, Audrey Farrelly. She was there greeting tables and guests. It is easy to catch her cheerfulness and passion.
*Thrifty Tip:
Happy Hour is served from 2-4pm. $4 glasses of wine and $5 pots of tea.
Also the Norton Art Museum is free for the Summer during new construction!
Tea + Art= A FABULOUS AFTERNOON
Make sure to check their Facebook page as she does host special events, like Bitch and Stitch.
(Bitch sessions with your best gals pals while learning to create a special gift).
So Ladies don your pearls, fancy heels, a fun dress and head to the local Tea House and Garden.
Who know you might spot The Thrifty Debutante.
xoxoxo for now,
The Thrifty Debutante
