Meet Bridget Kelly, our “virtual” Teatime Ambassador, the creator of Princess Teana, Teaopolis and the Shangers dynasty. Bridget was born in England of Irish/Scottish parents, emigrates to America on the Titanic, opens Shangers Tearooms and Grocery Stores in Canada and Kentucky, and in the 1950s creates the fantasy world of Princess Teana and Teaopolis for her grandchildren.
