From the Ground Up Books, a new and used bookstore with locations in La Grange, Ky., and Shepherdsville, Ky., has expanded with the addition of the Pinkies Out Tea Parlor, the Oldham Era reported.
At both the La Grange and Shepherdsville locations, customers can now enjoy scones and a variety of teas during regular store hours. Customers also have the option of having afternoon tea, which requires a reservation and includes tea, sandwiches, scones, and desserts.
Store owner and author Lynn Tincher opened the La Grange store in 2023 before opening the Shepherdsville store in 2024. From the Ground Up carries a wide range of titles with a specialty in paranormal literature. It also runs an author mentorship program called PenCrafters.
The La Grange store resides in an historic building that is reportedly haunted, and the bookstore does monthly ghost tours. The Shepherdsville location, meanwhile, leans into the culture and history of bourbon.
