What was once Mrs. Lovill's Tea Cozy is about to become Ginger's in downtown Farmington.

Ginger Wiechers is doing some light remodeling to the old yellow Victorian home turned business on Grand River Avenue in downtown. The building, which once housed Ms. Lovill's, will become a café and gourmet food restaurant within the next 45 days. Wiechers previously owned Ginger's Coffee Connection in West Bloomfield.

"I like to think of it as pampered dining," Wiechers says. "That's my goal."

She intends to keep the old single-family home "that looks like something from another era" largely as it is. During the winter Wiechers plans to rehab an old barn in the backyard and turn it into another part of the business by next year.
