Legacy Books Closing

from their newsletter

Dear Reader
It saddens us to announce the closing of Legacy Books on Saturday, August 14. As we confirmed this development today with business associates, we quickly found ourselves the subject of online news stories at KERA 90.1 FM, The Dallas Observer and The Dallas Morning News. As much as we appreciate that attention, this is one time Legacy Books would have been happy not to make news.

We thank all of you who have supported a locally owned and operated 'indie' of this stature over the past 21 months. While we regret the close of business, we do not regret our efforts, nor the friends we made along the way. That means you.

Legacy Books will cease business August 14 at 6 p.m.

Their final events are: Friday, August 6th, Tuesday, August 10th and Thursday, August 12th.

Join us on Friday, August 6th, for Rachel Caine signing at 7pm

Tiaras and Boas Tea

WOW, on Saturday June 12th, 2010, we had our our annual "Tiaras and Boas" with fellow readers, daughters, friends, and special guests! Attired in our best tiaras, outrageous boas we had FUN FUN FUN!

Here's a recap of our annual Boas & Tiaras Tea held on June 12th at the Chocolate Angel. It's DFW Tea Readers Groups annual summer gathering. The DFW Tea has been going strong since October 1995 and we initially started the dress-up boas and tiaras when our youngest members were going off to college in July 2002. We had so much fun we've been doing one each summer since. In the past years we've invited authors to join us as well as friends and family who may not be "big" or even readers at all. We seem to be able to convert them with our fun and festivities. What scamps we are!

Sara R and Michele Bardsley The group

This year we held our high tea at the Chocolate Angel Tea Room and Bakery. They serve a delicious tea with fruit cup, tea sandwiches, scones, clotted cream and jams, quiche and puffed filled pastries followed by dessert sampler course with two types of chocolate, plus cookies and mini-cakes. All accompanied with two types of freshly brewed tea, and of course, champagne. So we fulfill our mission: tea, chocolates and champagne!

first courseBoas & Tiaras 2010

Joining us were authors Dakota Cassidy, Michele Bardsley, Jaye Wells, Rosemary Clement-Moore, Claire Avery (sister duo of Mari and Michelle) and Kimberly Frost who drove all the way from Houston! A three plus hour drive! And we kept tabs on Michele's daughter who was giving birth to Michele's first grandchild in Tampa during the tea. Alas, the baby boy hadn't quite arrived by the time the tea was over, but we know his name! (Even if her daughter doesn't agree!) We also had many many baskets and gifts sent to us from authors who couldn't join us for the tea. Each attendee went home with at least a pile of books, in fact, we had to scramble for bags and boxes for some!

2010 Boas and Tiaras Tea

We completely filled the private room so we'll need to seek an even larger accommodation for 2011!
