Presently, I am serving in the children's area of a public library. Having been reared in the South, I am a product of Southern hospitality. Tradition and social etiquette are inbred. I love giving tea parties. They are enchanting and a delight to host. It is the perfect time to teach tea etiquette and the social graces. One can travel from the tea table to many countries and experience various cultures and customs. This is the premise for the Prissy Sissy Tea Party series. I live in South Carolina.
