Amelia’s Tea and Holly (Tea House)

Jul28

I had the opportunity to travel to Mullica Hill, NJ for an afternoon of tea at Amelia’s Teas and Holly with 2 good friends.   The women that work here greet you with warmth, love, pride and genuine hospitality. The tea house is in a house that has been converted into a tea house with several rooms that are used to display merchandise, seat guest, and the preparation of tea and food.

There are 3 adult menus to select from and 1 child menu, all reasonably priced. The 3 adult menus provide an option of how much you want to partake in. We each selected the Queen’s Tea menu which gave each of us assorted tea sandwiches, delicious freshly baked scone, soup, mini quiche, mini sweets, and tea of your selection.  Everything was delicious and more than enough food for the minimal cost.

Why Now?

Jul26

Over the years I have kept various journals; logging my joys, pains, regrets and triumphs.  Through those journal entries I found peace, I saw the progression of my inner strength starting to bloom each time God granted me with the strength to overcome and lastly I started to realize that regardless of the situation I will be okay.

Over the years…people saw gifts in me that I hadn’t yet seen in myself:

  • My love always tells me that I have a creative energy in me that is yet untapped
  • Friends have spoken into my life that I have a gift of providing guidance
  • My mentor spoke into my life that I have testimony that one day she hopes that I will share with others
  • My love of all things food, travel and style should be shared

I am not perfect and yes I still have things that I am working through however I am at a place where I am comfortable enough in my own skin to share my opinions, views, likes, and dislikes with the world.  So I am ready to sincerely and unapologetically share a little of me with you!
