At the Dragonfly Tea Cottage

The sign on the front sidewalk says, "open" 
so let' have lunch at the Dragonfly Tea Cottage in Sylvania, Ohio! 

MJ had told me about this wonderful little oasis and I couldn't wait to visit.  We came in through the backyard garden , passed the welcoming back porch with dragonfly decorated ceramic boots setting a quaint scene.
A vibrant sign, just inside the door, greeted us and the ladies smiled warmly creating a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. 

Everything inside the tea house is colorful, eclectic and artistic.  From the charm of mismatched table settings to the whimsical salt & pepper shakers that adorn each table. 

Then....there's the tea and food.  Hot temperatures outside require cool drinks indoors.  We opted for flavored iced teas, refreshing and delicious. And the food....fresh, home made and wow!
Someday I'm going back for dessert!

By the way...there's another whole floor waiting for little girls everywhere to experience their dream fairy tea party, but I'm saving that for another post.

    1. It's good to see you aguja! The suburbs around Toledo are charming, indeed. I process/edit my photos using Photoshop Elements 10. I love the editing program and learn something new every day. I'd love to have the much more expensive Adobe Photoshop CS6, but it's just not in my budget at this time. You can download a 30-day free trial. It looks mind-boggling at first and there's a learning curve to it, but it's worth the time and $100 for Elements. Here's the link:

      A free program that has some amazing features, is PicMonkey. It's better than Picnik was. Here's the link PicMonkey: http://www.picmonkey.com/
