Welcome to "Tea for Three" the BLOG!

It's so nice of you to stop by!
We are two sisters who have an slight obsession with refurbishing, being creative, design, decor, and shabby chic!
 
A few years ago we had a dream...to open up our own Flea Market Shop: "Tea for Three".  We were inspired by an amazing lady in Sycamore, owner of "Ruffled Nest".  After seeing her shop we were so giddy and just knew we could put our minds to work and achieve a dream job.  We spend the summers selling our lovelies at the Kane County Flea Market and the rest of the year building, refurbishing, painting, and searching for diamonds in the rough.
Katie is the owner of "Tea for Three". She is usually found in her garage rockin' her pink tool belt on as she whips up one of her masterpieces.  She truly is so incredibly humble about it too...but seriously, how many ladies do you know go to Menards for:
See what I'm talking about?  Here's a peak at her masterpieces built from scratch.

I (Lisa) am the flea market decorator for "Tea for Three" and the voice behind this blog.  I love arranging the treasures for display at our little shop.  Assisting Katie in finding items for re-purposing is another role I play...I'm pumped garage sale season is just about to start!  I also enjoy refurbishing items, crafting up book page wreaths, chalkboards, and sewing pillows and pennant banners when my two kiddos aren't holding me hostage.

We hope you feel inspired and enjoy all of our beautiful treasures.
