Our recent Ladies Fika Tea was such a wonderful time. We loved hearing from book author Melissa Bahen about her many beloved books, but especially the lovely Scandinavian Gatherings book and its connection to her family and roots. We devoured the many treats, enjoyed dozens of cups of tea, and made a crafty bookmark project together. It was truly a perfect fika.
