I thought it would be fun & might be a great fit for me. However before … Read the full blog post
The Painted Lady Tearoom
“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.”~Henry James Just in case this is your first time visit here.… Hello, and Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage by the Sea. Today you are in for a special treat. I’m taking you to the The Painted Lady Tearoom located in Myrtle Creek, Oregon. A beautiful drive inland (approximately 2 hours) from where I live on the coast. I checked the weather and it looks like a beautiful summer 82° perfect day so what do you say we grab our hats and head on … Read the full blog post
