Have Tea Will Travel: December 2012

One cool, late afternoon, in early winter, I stopped by The English Shop in Saint Charles, Missouri. It is located within the ten block, 200-year-old historical area of Main Street. I was happy to rediscover this charming place.

The English Shop sells British foods and teas and a wide variety of gifts. It has been on Main Street for nearly 30 years and is owned by Eileen Pritchard, a true and proper Englishwoman.

One of the newest features of The English Shop is their 'Tea Corner'. Before continuing on your journey, you can, if you wish, sit and enjoy a cuppa tea and soak up the atmosphere, while enjoying the passersby strolling along this gorgeous historical area.

When in the area, why not experience some history and enjoy the flavor of Great Britain in the confines of The English Shop.

Have a great day,
Viktorija

Have Tea Will Travel was invited quite some time back to a special book signing with St. Louis mystery author, Claire Applewhite, for the launch of her new book, "Candy Cadillac".
Since few things go better with a good mystery than a cup of tea, we were all over it!
The weather proved perfect for the occasion (torrential rainfall, booming thunder, flickering lights and all), and we were happy to enjoy a glass of wine and appetizers while mingling with our fellow "mystery fan bookies".
