A little more about Tea & Treats at Inklings ☁️📚

Think of it as tea to wander with - tea boxes, cookies, scones, sweets, and tea to enjoy while you browse the shelves, sit for a bit, or take with you for later.

Not a full seated tea party this time, just a cozy little bookshop tea moment.

Saturday & Sunday
May 23 & 24
12–4 PM
Inklings Book Shoppe

Come wander awhile.

Starting a new little series because apparently I cannot read a good book without a good cup of tea ☁️📚

This week I’m reading Iron Flame from the Fourth Wing series, so obviously I needed something strong.

Dragons, battles, fighting, emotional damage… it called for a black tea.

But I chose one with vanilla because what is a good book without a little romance in it? Hello?

And then I picked this teacup because the little filigree details reminded me of dragon scales - the way they curve and twist just felt very dragon-y to me. It’s delicate, but still has a strong feel to it, which honestly fits the book and the main character so well.

So this week’s pairing:
Iron Flame + vanilla black tea 🐉☕️

Have you read this one yet? And what are you reading right now?

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about creating slower, cozier, more intentional experiences.

The kind you remember.

Tea beside stacks of books.
Treat boxes shared with friends.
Beautiful afternoons tucked into little local spaces.

Over the last few months, some of my favorite moments have happened during my bookshop pop-ups. And after seeing so many of you come from those events into my teas and little tea world… I’ve decided to lean into that even more this season 💛

So while some things are shifting behind the scenes, I’m really excited for what’s ahead.

And yes - I’ll officially be back at Inklings May 23 & 24 with tea + treat boxes, cookies, teas, and probably a few surprises.

I have a feeling this is becoming something really special.

I completely forgot to share these little whimsical cookies from a recent bookshop event 💛

Tiny magical things honestly might be my favorite things to create.

Lately I’ve found myself really drawn to softer, storybook-inspired spaces and events — books, tea, nostalgic little details, cozy corners, all of it.

And I think that’s becoming more and more part of this little world I’m building here.

Anyway… these made me ridiculously happy to decorate.

I’ve been sitting with this tea for a couple days now, and honestly… it was even lovelier than I imagined 💐

Watching women gather around the table, linger over tea, talk about books, laugh together, and truly slow down for a while reminded me exactly why I love creating these experiences so much.

From the vintage teacups to the literary-inspired menu to the floral arches over the tables, every little detail felt thoughtful and warm and full of life 🤍

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this Bookish Tea . You made the room feel absolutely magical ✨

Already dreaming about the next one.

I think what I love most about these teas is that nothing feels rushed 🤍

You sit down, your tea is poured, your tray is set in front of you… and for a little while, you don’t have to be anywhere else.

This Sunday we are hosting a bookish tea inspired by Mother’s Day 💐

Think warm tea, thoughtful little bites, and a morning inspired by the women of the classics - Little Women, Jane Austen, and the Brontë sisters.

If that sounds like something you need right now, we would love to have you there ✨

Sunday | 11–1
Limited seats remaining
