“On Saturday afternoons they explored. They found their own tea shop with their own table–their own streets.” Katherine Mansfield

Today my friends Bonnie, Nancy and I went to tea in Lake City. Rita Dassner, proprietor of The Nest Antique & Vintage gift shop in Lake City, has opened a little tea room in the back of her store called Wisteria Twig. It is sweet, cozy and enchanting. The tea and treats were outstanding. All of the food is home made and cooked with love. This woman has a passion for what she does and it shows!
