Ice Cream and Candy....
Words that can fill you with warmth. Tastes that take you back in time. As a kid, tossing your hard earned change on the counter, walking out the door as you fumble with the packaging, miraculously avoiding tripping over your own untied shoelaces before devouring your treat with delight. The two-scoop cone you talked mom into letting you have on a hot summer day. Your favorite flavors, stacked high by the keeper of the scoop under your watchful eye. And then there’s that box of chocolates a certain someone surprised you with as a way to woo you off your feet. Or maybe it was you who did the wooing. Either way, it’s now a tradition.
Get a scoop or two in a cone, step up to a specialty sundae, get wild with an over-the-top-milkshake. Really, who can say no to an unforgettable float or a soda? Any time of year, any season, ice cream hits the spot.
Next time you have a craving for something sweet or if there’s a special someone who deserves more than mass produced candy for their special day, make the trip to The Sweet Shoppe located down on Laurel Street.
Themed Afternoon Tea Events
Afternoon Tea is a wonderful tradition that was introduced by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. The Duchess would become hungry around four o’clock in the afternoon. The evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at eight o’clock, thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner. The Duchess asked that a tray of tea, bread and butter and cak be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her. This pause for tea became a fashionable social event and was soon copied by all levels of society.
We hope you enjoy our version of this wonderful tradition.
