My daughter still loves tea parties. We recently had a mother’s and daughter’s day out at a special regional tea shop in our upstate area of South Carolina.
Located in Greenwood, SC, the Goodness and Mercy Tea Shop is located in the back of The Alcoves Shoppes on Montague Avenue. A portion of everything you buy at the Alcoves goes to support A Place for Us Ministries, a residential program for girls that are in a crisis situation such as pregnancy, addictive behavior, suicidal, cutting, or other serious situations.
It really is worth the drive from anywhere in Upstate South Carolina or Western Georgia. I love the shops, and the food at Goodness and Mercy is simply divine. I hope you enjoy my photographic essay of our afternoon as part of Wordless Wednesday.

Lots of gorgeous in your post today. 🙂
It is a wonderful place and the food is truly delicious. The products sold are very nice also.
What a lovely place! You can help others by having lunch. I like the touch of the Bible verse too!!
Okay, I’ve not had anything to eat yet today and all this food is making my mouth water.
Have a terrific day. ☺
I’ll have the salad and the decadent chocolate stone, please ;o)
Thank you for stopping by today and your kind comment- I grew up in SC- I need to take my 8 year old to visit this little jewel, she will love it!
