Ann-Margaret,

I was so excited to receive my purse.  It is so cute, and I have already put it into service.  I really wanted a quilted bag for summer and had considered others, but your bag has much more of an updated look with its shape, the polka dots on the sides, and the tied end of the strap.

It was such fun to visit your shoppe.  I was overwhelmed with bittersweet memories, I guess you could say, as I saw the old tea room and read how it all got started.  But, I was a little sad, too, that the place was no more and I could no longer visit you or my other friends in the area.  Maybe one day...

The website is easy to navigate and the pictures and descriptions are clear and helpful.  You did a good job, and I plan to order other things in the future.  Lisa

I had the pleasure of shopping at Ann-Margaret's and purchased some amazing soaps, lotions, scrubs, and teas for some of my friends and clients.  I have since enjoyed many shopping excursions with Ann-Margaret for baby showers, birthdays, thank you gifts, housewarming gifts, etc!  One of the things that I love is that Ann-Margaret takes the time to pay attention to every detail and that her items are all hand picked to suit many occasions!  Ann-Margaret also takes the time to present her products in a pretty way so, with confidence, I know that the recipient will always receive a gift that is attractive and professionally wrapped!  I have enjoyed shopping with Ann-Margaret and look forward to seeing her new products, as it is a great "one stop" shopping experience for many different occasions!  Sheila

Dear Ann~Margaret,


The chocolate amaretto pie was a hit after our big Easter day feast!  It was a light and creamy dessert with a terrific flavor that went so well with coffee.  The sprinkling of sliced almonds on the top of the pie finished off the presentation.  I used low fat cream cheese and light whipped topping making it a real hit with everyone who had a second helping of ham and scalloped potatoes.  The best part was it only took me a few moments to make.  It truly was delicious.  I can't wait to try the key lime!  Thanks again for the great customer service!  Sandie


Ann-Margaret, I received my order and have already tried some of the "White Peach Passion" white tea.  I loved it!  Just needed some peaches, whipped topping, and angel food cake to go along with it!  We are going to the grocery store today to get the ingredients we need, as I am going to make the "cookie dough pie" from the cookbook.  Thanks again, Ann-Margaret; can't wait to try the rest!  Mandy


 

We would love to hear from you so please go to the "contact us"  page to send us a comment if you would like to let us know what you think about our site, products, or your shopping experience at Ann-Margaret's SpecialTea Shoppe.

We received so many wonderful comments and cards from our guests of the tea room when it was open.  Since you may read all about the tea room at "How it all  Began", I thought it would be fun to share some of those comments with you.  Here are just a few, as well as, some of the wonderful messages and comments about the online shoppe:

~I recently had the experience of shopping with Ann-Margaret, as the ladies in my office wanted to have a custom gift basket created for a fellow employee.  We had some basic ideas as to what kind of items we thought our coworker would like but turned to Ann-Margaret to use her creativity in making a special gift basket for her.  The basket turned out so pretty and was filled with all kinds of neat things such as a beautiful teapot, gourmet items, a sugar scrub, vanilla pound cake candle, and even a pretty pair of earrings.  We loved the end result and had such fun presenting our coworker with such a pretty basket full of all kinds of useful goodies.  It was a perfect gift for her!  Kay


~What a nice surprise to see the email about the opening of your website.  I was talking about you yesterday and your tea room.  I am so happy for you; I know you worked so hard on this.  I showed the kids the special page of the tea you named after me, and they said "you definitely have a very special friend"...it means so much to me!  I wish from the bottom of my heart that one day we will sit together for another cup of tea.  A cup is reserved for you!  I wish you the best; you are such a wonderful friend.  Love you, Amani (in Kuwait)


~Ann-Margaret, FABULOUS!  FABULOUS!  FABULOUS!  What a delight!  It sounds like you are talking to me in person or on the phone as I read through the website!  I love it!  Love, Donna


~Congratulations!  Wishing you all the very best in your new business venture.  I think you have done a great job, and I can believe it was a lot of hard work.  You have a great choice of items.  Mabrouk!  Love, Pat, Adel, and Ana-Maria in Kuwait


~I enjoyed looking at your website.  The introductory picture of the tea room (your great-grandmother's house) exudes a warm, cozy feeling of charm and southern hospitality.  This yesteryear nostalgia suggests a personal comfort to shop...I would say from looking at your website that you are a hard working entrepreneur.  I wish you much success.  Love, Joyce


~Hi, What a website!!!! Fantastic!!!  You have put more than a lot of work in it!  I am SO PROUD OF YOU! And Jea (John), too!  I will start sending it to EVERYONE.  I am so happy and thrilled.  Tucker's article is so good.  I am still in the process of reading everything on the site but just had to write a note now to let you know.  I love you both with all my heart!  Mom (Mary Sue)

~Hello!  I wanted to tell you how proud I am of you and your website!!  I got tears in my eyes looking at it because I know you  have worked SOOO HARD on it and that every picture was taken by you.  The pictures are GREAT!  And, I loved how you spelled out "teatime" with the tea leaves.  It is so special to have a little piece of the website for me!! :) ~Not many people can say that they have a product named after them!  But, I did notice that you need a picture of yourself or you and John.  (I promise that part is coming soon... ~A-M)  People want to put a face with the name of the Tea Lady!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the brown and pink...the entire website is simple, yet elegant.  I LOVE IT!  And, I'll say it again...I AM SOOOO PROUD OF YOU, MY SPECIAL FRIEND!!!  Love you!  Leslie


~I must say I spent only a few minutes before the baby's bedtime to look at your store....and it's soooooo you!  I adore pink and chocolate.  I can't wait to look at everything.  I admire all that you've accomplished.  When you set your sights on something you really just go get it, don't you?!  Good luck in your latest endeavor; I can't wait to see everything you have to offer in your Shoppe.  Love, Christina

~Ann-Margaret, I told you I'd come and visit your site!  I love it!  Along with the cute "purse cart", I've just now noticed the bullet points to the left are teapots!  Very cute!  :)  The history of your tea room was very heartwarming.  It's wonderful how your loved ones still "visit"!  I was so excited to see the cute helicopter frame; what a cute gift!  Please sign me up on your mailing list.  Thanks, Nancy


~What a delight to see your website!  I enjoyed scrolling through all the items that you already have and look forward to seeing other things.  The "How it all Began" was a very sweet story, and your mom and grandmother look so good on the front porch.  I signed up for the newsletter.  You sound just like your mom!  Pat


~Your site looks great!!! Rachael


~Thank you sooo much for sending me the link to your website.  I spent a great deal of time looking at it and enjoyed every minute.  I have to say, it is a fabulous website.  You obviously put much care and time into its design and layout.  Each description is written from the heart.  I just loved it!  Thank you so much for sharing.  All of your items are precious.  Your timing was perfect since Mother's Day is near.  I enjoyed looking at all of your beautiful items!  Holly


~I took a tour of the website and will go back later for a closer look.  Everything looks wonderful!  I know you are so happy to get it up and running.  Love, Suzie and the girls


~Ann-Margaret, I love your website.  Great job! I will pass it on.  Thanks for remembering me.  Kim and I were just talking about how we miss your tea room.  God bless all your hard work, Tammy


~Thanks for sending the link to the website.  I have enjoyed checking it out and will share with friends.  Virginia


~Wow!  I had no idea you were planning a full scale gift shop!  Thought you'd just have various teas.  What fun.  Loved your testimonial board.  Also enjoyed meeting Tucker.  Hope you have rewarded yourself with something special after all your hard work to start the website.  Good Luck!  Kerry  (Just hearing the thoughtful comments from you and everyone else is truly a special treat and "reward" for me!  Yes, I have "poured my heart" into this "shoppe" so it is a real blessing for me to be able to share it with everyone now, as I hope it will be a place you enjoy visiting!...~A-M)


~Ann-Margaret, Thank you so much for my tea things.  I am always sure that everything will be wonderful if you carry it...because you only have the best!  The ladies all chose your tea and scone mix at our tea tasting!  Everyone is waiting to see all your new things!  We love you!  Betty


~I had the privilege of visiting Ann-Margaret's Tea Room in Alabama numerous times.  It was a great place where a bunch of us friends got together once a month for a fun "ladies' day out".  One of the highlights was that we got to wear crazy, flashy hats; it was a blast.  We could not wait to eat all the delicious food, then do some major shopping.  I have lots of great memories that I will cherish forever.  Thanks, Ann-Margaret, for all the fun times we shared at your tea house.  Good luck with your new website and God Bless.  Your friend, Ivette


~I have visited Ann-Margaret's tea room three times and have truly enjoyed each visit.  Ann-Margaret is the perfect hostess!  She is so friendly.  The food is wonderful.  I look forward to visiting again soon.  It has become a favorite for me,  my mom, and daughter.  We have had so much fun each visit.  Gwen


~Ann-Margaret's tea room is one of the best I have visited.  My friends and I absolutely love going there, and we are from Georgia.  A great place with a charming hostess.  Pat

 

~What a wonderful place to get away from it all!  Dressing up was so much fun, and Ann-Margaret's tea room was decorated with such creativity.  She was so nice, and the food was great.  We didn't want to leave!  The experience was one that we will treasure forever.  April

 

~I have been to Ann-Margaret's Tea Room twice and have loved it both times!  It is so charming and cozy, makes you feel like you walked into your grandmother's attic.  Ann-Margaret is the perfect hostess!  Of course, the food is great!  Suzanna

 

~I had a baby shower for my sister at Ann-Margaret's Tea Room.  It was so special.  Everyone enjoyed the delicious foods and tea.  I especially enjoyed the Strawberry Silk tea!  Ann-Margaret has a true knack for entertaining her guests.  This was my second trip to her tea room, and I look forward to my next trip.  Regina
