Dancing Girl and Butterfly Girl were my guests as I journeyed east to The Celtic Cup in Tullahoma, TN.  The girls love anything Irish so they were excited.  We found a charming bungalow-style house converted into a tea/lunch room by day and an Irish pub by night, in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

Sadly, once inside we were informed that afternoon tea was only served between the hours of 2pm - 5pm and since we were there at about 1 pm we had to be content with just a pot of tea and a scone.  They had a large listing of teas, all in bags, and we each chose our favorite- oolong for me and Lapsang for the girls.  Tea arrived in individual pots with charming white teacups laced with green shamrocks.  Scones were large and fresh but unadorned. So we had to purchase a pot of lemon curd in their gift store to top them off.

It was a nice warm day and we chose a table in the sun on their side porch instead of sitting inside, which was a bit dark with large leather booths that did not say TEA TIME to us!  Overall, we had a nice time despite the detached staff and the disappointment of arriving before afternoon tea was served.
