The ladies at Monmouth St. Mercantile really rolled out the red carpet for our Tea & Tarot Sign Up party this past Tuesday! There were delightful tea selections, rosemary shortbread cookies, and yummy chocolates. Plus, we all learned so much about Tarot and enjoyed a personal reading with Wendy!
If you haven't been to Monmouth St. Mercantile yet, you must go! The shop is exquisite and the service unparalleled. It's also become a hub for events and workshops, so be sure to check out what's coming up! Thank you Wendy and Tatum for continuing to share your gifts with the school 💜
