Join us for a 1908 Tea hosted by Rita Parisi of Teas in Time. In 1908, the world was on the cusp of
change. The traditions of the Victorians
were giving way to a modern way of
thinking. The automobile, airplane,
changes in fashion, entertainment, and
social conventions were altering the lives
of people forever. Let Rita entertain you
during her afternoon tea as she tells you
about her trip to Boston. Then engage in
an open discussion as she shares
with you her latest issue of the Ladies
Home Journal.
