Summer’s Bounty

Mother nature never disappoints us during our Fall season.  Blossoms continue to come and foliage turns the most pretty colors.  Our garden is reaching its seasons end, but for now it is so beautiful to watch.  If you are out and about this evening or tomorrow stop by and see us.  Lots of new things at the shop and remember we are open in the evenings until 8 p.m.

 

 

Hot Chili Peppers and Cocktails

If you are having invited guests for cocktails, lay out these hot chili pepper towels on your kitchen island.  Dress with wine and a bucket, and your favorite cocktail offering.  Add these chili pepper cocktail napkins and your favorite nibbles. Now, call your guests to the kitchen for lite fare.  So darn cute.

British Tea at Contessa’s on Sundays

Beginning Sunday we will be serving “British Tea.”  J.D. Miles Tea is imported to us direct from Somerset in the UK.  It is dark, rich and oh so delicious.  Honestly you will not find any tea quite like it.  Our British customers always say it is hard to get here in America. Stop in on Sundays between Noon and 5 p.m.  We love to share this superb tea with you.  It will really pick you up.

Ahhhhh – Harwich Beach – like coming home. Generations of our family spent time here. It’s clean, tranquil and the fresh air is to die for. We can never get enough of it.

One of my fav shots – love those beach grasses and pathways. I am always looking for treasure that the sea has thrown up from her waves.
