I stopped by The Tea Gathering for a brief moment and I was happy to see how spotless the shop was and rearranged somewhat making it look a bit bigger. I noticed several new items like tea trays depicting a rooster; and they have a larger selection of honey made from a nearby farm in Methuen, MA. Store had several photos by Goethe artist of Victorian women in the gardens or at leisure, I think they are for sale as well.
The owner Fran seemed rested and less fatigued than when I visited last year in 2011. Overall she seems to have found her final niche; a lasting peaceful effect perhaps. I cannot know the life of this person, surely better than mine. In all the teashop owner seemed restful/youthful and her store seemed bigger and carrying more. Happy times to the folks at the Tea Gathering!
