Out and About: Tea Time at Jacquelines~

Hello my dears! I hope all of you had a Happy Valentine's day.

As a happily single person I spent the day relaxing with my best friend and it was quite pleasant.

However, yesterday morning was more special than Valentines day because I got to go and have "Cream Tea" at one of my favorite places in the entire world.

Jacqueline's Tea Room

 Basically, this tea house is a romantic paradise.

There are girly touches everywhere and of course,

breathtaking tea finery.

Jacqueline, has created an extensive tea menu with simply delightful flavor combinations.

( My favorites: Garden of Eden White Tea, Mad Hatter Green Tea, Pumpkin Spice, Chai.)

She also has featured scones of the month. 

Two new flavors every month!

This time she offered us: Strawberry Cheesecake and Caramel scones and they were bloody delicious.

A day is truly magical when you fill yourself with scones and about three pots of tea!

I love coming here, not only for tea and delicious scones but the atmosphere is to die for. I could spend all day in there looking at everything..

( and consequently, wanting to buy everything because this tea room is also part gift shop. That's right, all sorts of beautiful tea ware, books, decor, stationary, soaps, candles and gift packages all at your fingertips to buy. It's quite dangerous.) 

So, if you are hankering for a beautiful tea service. Walk ins for "Cream tea" ( tea,scones with Devon creme and jam.)

Or a traditional " Afternoon Tea"( Unlimited tea selection, four course meal that includes: soup/sorbet, finger sandwiches, scones and dessert.) Come here! I recommend it highly!

Out and About : Crema

Today, I had a delightful coffee date with a friend I had not seen in a long time.

I was due in for a little excursion from my usual routine. 

That brought us to a quaint little place called Crema, located on Commercial St in Portland, ME.

The atmosphere was so moody, ( in a good way.) and that really vibes well the the industrial chic aesthetic.

That was when I was introduced to that lovely big cup with the staple latte art painted in frothy milk foam.

I felt that when I properly documented this masterpiece, it was almost like completing a rite of passage when it comes to blogging and being in the world of Instagram and the VSCO community. 

Every, " popular instagrammer" that I tend to follow will have at least a dozen or so photos of their latte art. Usually, with props like; books set to the side or a nice and buttery looking croissant. 

Now, I can say that I crossed that line! And have posted proudly!

(Huzzah!)

Silliness aside though, that caramel latte was wicked delicious and I would majorly recommend going to this establishment if you are in the area and wanted some really great atmosphere, great coffee, good looking food, and a local venue besides your run of the mill Starbucks or DD.

(Don't shun me Starbucks! I still love you!) 

 I have a big giant list on my agenda coming up and one of them is a post about the new Sephora Air Perfection Spray Foundation. I hope you all are looking forward to that for next time!
