Sickness and Bumps in the Road

Yes, it's true, your wondrous proprietor has hurt her wrist and gotten sick recently. While both were mild, these potholes in the road just added to the speed bumps. These speed bumps are logistical processes that I MUST go through to open up dear Cam's shop. I am still trying to resolve them after 3 weeks of sorting and sorting. But have hope, dear tea drinkers!
More excitingly and importantly, your dear proprietor is looking forward to having a PAJAMA PARTY at Cam's, perhaps the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We will be open (hopefullyyyy) so you can come in your most fabulous bedtime wear and drink some tea and have some delicious goodies while watching some flicks. I don't want to make it too girly - John Hughes night, anyone (may he RIP) - or maybe something else in the vein of marathon watching. Campy horror films? Stylistic cult films? These are a few of my favorite things.
Comment and let me know what films you'd like to watch with about 30 of your closest neighborhood strangers while cuddled up in Cam's Tea House.

p.s. I recommend Gypsy 83, a film I just saw. I don't know how it ever escaped me before, but it's pretty great. A bit overemotional, but oh so fun! I can't screen it unless I check IDs at the door (it's R with "adult situations") and that's no fun. Ideas?

New store on its way, physically and virtually




While I wait for all of the red tape to be sorted through to open the Cam's location in Union, NJ, I am now setting up an online store! Cam's Cyber Tea Store will be up and running soon.
Recently, my S.O. and I took shots of some of Cam's unique teapot collection to be used for the online store. It was a nice autumn day in the park and we chose a little gazebo to set up a little outdoor photo studio.
Here's a couple shots of the gazebo. Keep an eye out for the store, likely to be up very soon!
You know your loved ones will love our very special teapots and collectibles as holiday gifts :)...

This mural is about half done but will hopefully be finished soon. Leave some comments and suggestions and maybe it'll make it into the mural!

More Halloween Piccys





Fun Halloween






The Halloween Preview Soiree at Cam's was fun. Friends of the owner and their friends got to see a cleaned up Cam's. Since the toilet is being replaced with a high powered badboy, we were toiletless but everyone roughed it and had a great time. There was a bit of dancing to break in the stage and some charades that are a lot more fun (and embarrassing) when you act out a clue on a stage! Here are some photos.
