Teapots and Tea Cup Collection
by Mary Lou Kiel
May - June, 2008

Mary Lou Kiel’s love of tea, and a collection of cups inherited from her mother, planted an interest in the ritual of afternoon tea. After her husband and son threw a surprise birthday tea party for her, Mary Lou decided she could do it for others. Since 2003, under the guise of "Tea for Two by Mary Lou”, she has offered lovely teas in such settings as birthday parties, women’s groups, Girl Scouts, schools, nursing homes, and charitable fundraisers, all beautifully served on assorted china she has gathered from shops and sales.

More information about Mary Lou Kiel’s “Tea for Two” is available at the Museum during the exhibit that runs May through June. Tuesdays and Saturdays, 2:00 to 4:00 PM.Call 466-6883 to schedule special tours.
