Our entire family has been very busy lately! I am so excited to announce that my Mom's dreams of owning and operating a Tea House are finally becoming a reality! As most of you know, my Aunt Linda moved here last year from New York and they have been working on plans to open a Tea House together! Aunt Linda owned a very successful antique business and has also helped a friend by working at her Tea House in NY. As you can imagine this is right up both of their allies! My Mom will do the baking, which is her passion and my Aunt Linda will make the Tea House look beautiful with her gift of decorating and knowledge of antiques, among many other things! I am so excited for them both, since they have lived such a long distance apart for most of their lives and now they get to share this opportunity together! My only regret is that it will be so far away from where I live, that I wont get to help out as much as I would like to.
After looking for the perfect house for almost a year, they FINALLY found this one and it is all falling into place! The house is downtown Gallatin and is already zoned commercial, which is a HUGE deal because that was going to be a long, tedious process to go through if not. Also, there was another piece of land next to it that they bought along with it for their parking lot. How perfect! The house is also extremely rare as it is a New Orleans shotgun style house believed to have been built around 1886 & moved to the current location around 1930. I haven't actually seen the house myself, but as I am told it doesn't need any work done to it all. There is a spiral staircase that is really pretty from the pictures!
I will keep you posted on the opening of the English Garden. Right now it is planned for mid October! Please pray that everything will go smoothly for their closing on Monday and that God will bless the English Garden!
