Afternoon Tea in Fuquay-Varina

FUQUAY-VARINA, N.C. - Oct. 2, 2014 - PRLog -- Mad Hatter and The Meeting Corner recently teamed up in September to hold their first Afternoon Tea together.

Thirteen lovely ladies reserved seats to witness the event hosted by the two shops. They were served house specialties like apple cinnamon scones, tea sandwiches (ham with thinly sliced cucumber, chicken salad), along with eggplant caponata and desserts. Three teas were also served along with the foods - Earl Grey, Tangerine Rosemary, and Afternoon in Provence.

China plates were compliments of The Polished Table, a new business, which provides all the details needed to provide a beautiful tablescape for guests and the host.

“It was fun teaming up with Edna at The Meeting Corner, and I am very excited about our future events”, one of the organizers said. They are positive that more exciting events will follow after the success of their first team up.

The shops have plans for future events like additional Afternoon Teas, a Tea Tasting and Appetizer event, along with a Christmas Tea. These plans are made to attract customers to visit Fuquay – Varina which is a considerably small town but with rich historical value.

Mad Hatter and The Meeting Corner are both located in downtown Fuquay – Varina within walking distance of each other. These shops are situated near great shopping districts that tourists can also visit.
