Turtle Times Two

40 Comments/ 3081/ 0

On our last trip to North Carolina we spent an afternoon at a delightful shop called Southern Season in Chapel Hill. If my dream comes true to move back to North Carolina I will be a fixture in this place.  Don’t even try to move me.  It has everything that I want here.  I would not even have to leave the store as there is a coffee / tea shop, deli, and yes—even a cooking school! What a perfect place!   And of course–teapots—lovely precious teapots of all different shapes and sizes and textures!   I was in heaven.  Aaron helped me pick out my teapot purchase—don’t you love the turtles????

    You just have to wonder, how do they think of this? Apparently someone with creativity. As we say in Minnesota, “It’s different,” but in a cute sort of way.

    I love Southern Season! I’m from Durham, but did what I call my “formative growing up” in Chapel Hill.

            It’s been a couple of years since I’ve flown into RDU, but there were (I think) at least two shops on the main concourse inside security where all the gates are. A bonus if you are going to NC, but not able to make it to the mothership.

      Yep–it is one of those clay ones that you can kind of season by using the same type of tea in it over and over again. Cute, huh?
