We are getting our signs in tomorrow, for now there is just a sign for Carytown Optical but we ARE here!!

A view from the window.

Changing some bulbs to brighten the space up.

Doing what we can to spice up a drab building.

I actually really love the neon glasses, at night it gives everything a soft glow.

New tea pots!

The optical shop is getting along pretty well, Cynthia is getting new inventory every day.

Neon lips that were once in a "business of the night".....

Stay tuned for the Tea Party/Fire Sale, awesome tea (duh), Designer frames for CHEAP and awesome local art and jewelry.........oh, and tea infused alcohol and wine!!!!

Ah, the smell of burning tea...

On Wednesday October 6th around 8 in the morning the building connected to CaryTown Teas went ablaze.. destroying CaryTown Optical and Appointments Salon which resides on the second floor. CaryTown Teas sustained major smoke damage along with minor fire damage...

The optical shop and salon have extensive structural damage that will most likely take a couple months to repair, in the meantime you can still get ahold of them by calling their business numbers and also temporarily, Cynthia, owner of Carytown Optical is occupying the space directly above CaryTown Teas.

The tea shop is already undergoing repairs and is scheduled to open sometime in the next two weeks. We have already started to get fresh teas in from our farms and we are blending off site as we speak, so if you need your tea fix you can still purchase through our website .

When the store front opens up we are planning a big re-opening party for all of you lovely folks that have been so wonderful during this trying time...You Guys Are Awesome !!!

.........In the meantime I hope you all enjoy this lovely picture of Patricia from the CaryTown Teas Archives....
