Kathleen Carson's influence on the Tea Room and Spa

Tami's new business, Kathleen's Tea Room & Day Spa is named after Kathleen Carson. When asked why she chose to name her new business after her great grandmother, she said, "I didn't know her well, but I have fond memories of her. My mom, Patti, adored her and talked about her a lot. She says she always treated each grandchild as her favorite. Many people name tea rooms after grandparents and I thought it would be a great tribute to someone loved so much by so many."

She went on, "We went to visit her for Christmas when I was young. I loved her, her house, her attic, everything about her. I have bubble lights on my Christmas tree to this day to remember her. I also remember her and Grandpa carson coming to Florida and our great crab feasts. I loved those times."

Based on the success the business is seeing so far, it's obvious that people have found that it's a special place. So, I asked Tami how she thought Kathleen would react if she could pop in for a visit. "I think she would gleefully clap her hands and smile real big. I hope she would love it and want to spend lot's of time here."
