This Week's Welcome

What did you do this past weekend?! We stopped by the Mossy Hollow Market in Plant City! It was beautiful and had unique vendors who you might not always see at your usual farmers markets.

We got some cool items like this kitty magnet from The Wolfshop and this artwork from Stephanie Marie.

I’m not a big “tea” guy; it’s usually black coffee for me. But shoutout to @morbidcuriositea! It was so smooth, balanced and you could taste the flavors! Look at those ingredients! I almost turned around and drove back to get another fresh one!

Hit 'reply' and let me know if you got to go!

Featured Spotlight: Pressed Books & Coffee​

“ The only place I've ever gone to sit down and quietly work... — Channon

My bad! I know I should have stopped here long ago, but... I finally did!

​Pressed Books & Coffee is located right in downtown Lakeland at 213 E Bay St. Lakeland, FL 33801.

As stated on their website:

Pressed Books & Coffee is a unique independent bookstore and café situated in the heart of downtown Lakeland, FL.

Discover our thoughtfully curated collection of new and used books that cater to a variety of interests and genres.

Savor our complete coffee bar featuring locally sourced coffee and freshly baked treats.

We serve as a community hub where individuals can work, read, study, and enjoy meaningful conversations.

I haven't had all of their drink options to give you a personal definitive, but I did try The Tolkien - a customer favorite!

The biggest difference at Pressed, to me, is the atmosphere. As they said, we serve as a community hub where individuals can work, read, study, and enjoy meaningful conversations. It appeals to me because it's roomy and quiet. I even worked out of the house this past week and took my notebook there to work for a couple of hours. Something I never do - anywhere. So, you could say I'll be back!
