[You may virtually slap my head.]<br /><br />As I visited some of the other blogs in this week's roster, I thought: 1. What a wonderful cosmopolitan group this is; 2. I learned 2 new words (so far) this round (bollards and spinney); 3. and how grateful I am for you hosting our weekly T party.<br /><br />Happy T Day!

Geeesh! I guess I haven't had enough coffee yet.<br /><br />This place looks so inviting and so interesting. I love going through places like this, and being able to take my time and really see everything. I bet it smells like heaven when they are roasting the coffee beans.<br /><br />I really enjoyed seeing the all the spices stacked up along the wall.

I would have gotten lost right along with you! this place is fabulous, and i bet it smelled wonderful! ♥ Love all the photos...I have tried that sugar-free syrup and it is quite good. not everyone can tolerate the artificial sweetener, though. and then you mentioned the candy and fudge...another wow. Old dishes from a diner? that stuff is practically indestructable...good choice. Adored that Tobasco clock...so cool! hope you are doing well and avoiding flu germs! take care...♥Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657202600364368434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-11950588075373030062017-02-07T08:57:19.163-06:002017-02-07T08:57:19.163-06:00OH! this place sounds fabulous!

When I was little, my parents sometimes shopped at one of the first chain grocery stores, the A&P. While they shopped, I liked to stand by the coffee grinder machine and sniff while people had their coffee beans ground. The blend was 8 o'clock coffee. Mmmmmm.<br /><br />I can see why you could spend lots of time (and money!) in this store. So many wonderful things. I like the vanilla syrup in my tea. I can't stand the powdered creamer either as it makes me feel dizzy and sick. But I wouldn't have been able to pass on the fudge. Who knew there were salt mines in KS? Certainly not Bostonians. On a map, anything past the outskirts of the city would be lableled Hic Sunt Draconis =^.,^= Now I'm off to read the tea posts.

Wow- I am as impressed as I was last time, well maybe more so because there is so many interesting things in that store.I can't even imagine how big it is since you didn't show us the tea section this time. Glad you were able to get yourself a retro cup and saucer as your own little holiday gift. I bet you have enjoyed it. I'm glad you shared this visit with us. I really enjoyed this type of shopping.

I envy you. ...Oh what an absolutely wonderful shop! I envy you. I have seen so many things that I liked. You must be very strong and determined not to buy the whole shop!<br />Yes, I spotted the Je suis Charlie T-shirt immediately. The products along the line for the check out are exciting. We don't get syrups and I would love to buy some to try. Do you add water, to make a drink or are they the kind of things I've seen them put in your coffee at Starbucks? (My once a year treat at the airport)<br />Turtle flavoured coffee does not float my boat in the slightest. I'm glad you didn't try it. Quite near the syrups I spotted one of my favorite things: Chai. I think they may be sachets of instant chai powder, or maybe the tea bags, who knows.<br />The Tabasco clock is fun, but very expensive. Articles with brand names should cost less as the customer is doing their advertising for them. <br />I loved seeing all that Malden Salt and the little salt pigs. <br />Interesting to see the roasting and grinding equipment. I would have been very noisy had all those machines been working. Perhaps just as well, or you wouldn't be able to hear yourself think.<br />I would go in that shop and never come out again!
