But wait....there's more: Sweeties'

There is another building on the Grumble House property that is operated as Sweeties' Cafe. 


The café is rather small. It probably seats about 30 people at the most. 
Like the Grumble House, its decor and offerings are varied. 
The tables and chairs are all different. 

I was by myself, and chose to sit here:

The light fixtures are all unique:

The plates and glasses are all different, 
and harken back to another era.

The café has a selection of dining partners. 
This girl's brother had earlier been eating with the teddy bear,
and dressing Teddy in different hats. 
He was visiting with his parents at the adult table when I took the picture.
His sister had taken a selfie and was using it to make a self portrait.

Hats? You say? 
Yes! 

Sweeties' offers high tea in the afternoons. 
Lest guests feel underdressed in their Florida shorts and sandals, 
they can slip on a fancy dress for the occasion.
There are a few racks of fine gowns to choose from. 

And now...
about the hats:

Don't you agree that every formal, high tea wardrobe wouldn't be complete without a hat?
Sweeties' has hat racks with all manner of head gear. 
One such rack was situated behind my chair. 

Being all by myself, with no one to talk to,
and being only slightly ADHD, 
I decided to try on the hats that were so conveniently,
and temptingly right there!










All great fun....
And no one looked askance at me while I donned 
one hat after another and had my own
private photo shoot!
