Spoleto Tradition:

The Grace Episcopal Tea Room

For 17 days and nights each spring, Spoleto Festival USA fills Charleston, South Carolina's historic theaters, churches, and outdoor spaces with performances by renowned international as well as emerging performers in opera, theater, dance, and chamber, symphonic, choral, and jazz music.  At the same time, "Piccolo Spoleto" features local and regional artists. Against this cultural background, churches also open their doors and create Tea Rooms and Gift Shops.  It'sThe Hat Ladies' tradition to go to the one held at Grace Episcopal.        

No wonder I couldn't find you.  You went shopping first!
Church will continue all afternoon	Back 'n forth between the Gift Shop &
awning for the Church to open its doors...	Looks like it's safer to wait under the ...
Daughter, Mother, Granddaughter	A very lucky fella
Then: Speak no evil/hear no evil/ see no evil	Before: So demure...
Life's uncertain: We really should eat dessert first...	On your mark, get set, time to head upstairs!
