Ever since I first stumbled upon Sweet Marie’s Tea Cottage in Wickford back when they were getting ready to open (and the owner was kind enough to give me a little tour of the interior), I’ve been a serious fan.

We’re talking the crème de la crème of cottagecore! (Think peak shabby chic meets Miss Honey’s cottage in the 1996 movie Matilda.)

Now, I’m freaking out because although

I’ve had afternoon tea there at least 3-4 times, Sweet Marie’s has started rolling out these nighttime ones with two VERY cozy “Letters To Santa” themed soirées for December.

I mean, how great does THAT sound?

Guests can write notes to ole Saint Nick (aka, Saint Nicholas, Kris Kringle, and Father Christmas) whilst feasting on a marvelous prix fixe menu that includes cucumber sandwiches, tarts, scones, chocolate truffles, and bottomless cups of tea and hot cocoa.

I know we haven’t celebrated Thanksgiving yet, but tickets for these December 10th and 17th events in The Wick are gonna sell out.

You and your bestie or significant other can even dress up in matching Christmas pj’s, too! (Why not? Amirite?)

Call them directly at (401) 626-1647 to reserve your spots at these fantastic evening teas. Tickets are priced at $35 per person.

And don’t forget to tell them Patty J sent you.
