Who publishes The Tea House Times?

The Tea House Times is published by a woman in New Jersey.  Everyone calls her “Lady Gayle”.  She was inspired by the Red Hat Society to choose a name for herself; adding a little fun and intrigue to the publication.  The Tea House Times premiered Nov/Dec 2003 with an article about the Red Hat Society; following an interview with a RHS member in New Jersey named “Grape Tomato” who now, by the way, is Queen Mother of an entirely new RHS Chapter.  Congratulations!
