Hello Darlings!!!

Welcome to my website. Since I am the reigning Rumorist, I wanted to give the entire world the opportunity to gossip with me. If you have not been to my parlor, you don't know what you are missing. Please drop by for a visit.  

The Gossip Parlor is located in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida in Gulf Place, along scenic highway 30A. Just a hop, skip and a jump down the road from Destin, right before you get to Grayton Beach and Seaside. Southern Living magazine recently featured my parlor as a favorite along Florida's Panhandle in their May, 2003 issue.

When you stop by, sit back, relax and enjoy a cup of my delicious gourmet coffee or a cappuccino. Our beans are specially roasted by my third cousin, Rose d' Bean, of the famous d' Bean family of New Orleans. May I offer you one of my outrageous cinnamon rolls or perhaps a scone with your coffee?

Bring the kids - they will flip over my ice cream parlor! You know, ice cream is not just for breakfast anymore. I serve up hand dipped ice cream, milkshakes and several special family creations - Nana's Banana Split, Saranell's Strawberry Shortcake and Aunt Delilah's Open-Faced Ice Cream Sandwich. I might even give you The Cold Shoulder - a Coffee Toffee Frappe Freeze or a Double Fudge Mocha Frappe Freeze.

For those of you that need something a bit stronger, (and you know who you are, Aunt Edna), I keep ice cold beer in the cooler and a batch of frozen daiquiris in the back. I encourage you to "whine" with me and offer a nice selection of wine by the glass and bottle.

And of course, we have to catch up on the latest gossip. After all…this is The Gossip Parlor. For those of you needing that gossip fix from back home, I have a couple of Internet computer stations tucked away in a quiet corner. You must pass along any interesting rumors that you pick up while chatting with your friends.

Oh, and I insist that you take home some of my "wit and wisdom" giftware to pass along to your friends and family. These precious keepsakes are hand crafted by my dear friends at our monthly garden club meetings.

If you can't make it for a visit right now, please go on a shopping spree with me online.

Toodles....
