Your celebrations offer predictability and consistency in our challenging and sometimes stressful times. Many of my personal milestones and achievements were not noted or acknowledged by people close to me. This is why I do what I do and I love it ; it’s the motivation and incentive for me to plan and host for you, helping you #celebratethespecialmoments so you will feel special! 😃 Certainly, every day matters, although it’s when you take time to honour yourself, your friends, family and guests and you are enjoying significant occasions; you are making memories, marking milestones, while creating community with those special people in your life! 💕 What events do you like celebrating?

About my dreams and visions? 💭 One of which was to become an Event Planner! 🎉 You already know, when you follow me, that I love people, planning and parties! For many years, I had dreams and visions about who I would become. I particularly wanted to become an Event Planner. I love people, planning and parties! As a young child; a long time ago, 😀 I was always the planner, the “mother hen”, the gatherer of friends, the table-setter, the detailer and the organizer. I always enjoyed setting the table, making lovely arrangements and creating a welcoming atmosphere. I remember when my late mother, father, aunts, uncles, families and friends used to get together for “faspas”, (Menno term for afternoon tea, late afternoon meal) birthdays and reunions. I enjoyed the fun times, laughter, food, sharing experiences and creating memories. I saw that there was planning, preparation and work involved, for these gatherings to happen. Skipping forward to my life and work now, it’s clear when connecting all the dots, looking back, how each experience has helped me and served a purpose. When I started my event planning business, I knew my desire, my WHY…was and is to share my unique gifts, my education and my experience to bless others by creating Signature Experience Events. I’ve always had and I do, have a passion for cultivating relationships and spreading joy through service, planning, hosting and helping others. Thriving on providing excellent, personalized service while creating experiences for you and your guests. Focusing on getting to know you/the host/hostess with the intent to create an event that reflects your unique style and personality. 😊 It’s enthusiastic boutique event planning, creating unique signature events and taking care of the details so you will #beaguestatyourownevents and cherish your special occasions! 😃 What were some of your favourite memories and #events when you were young(er)? 😉 Share your dreams and visions 💭 ⬇️ 👇 ❤️ 🤗 🍵 ☕️ 🍷 🥂 🍰 🧁 🎂 💐 🌸 🌹 🌷 #spreadingjoy #dowhatyoulovelovewhatyoudo #afternoontea #taketimefortea #alwaystimefortea #taketimeforyourfriends #thetealady #celebratethespecialmoments #seemomentsinlife #seecommunity #tablesettings #blueandwhitedecor #fvepafun #volunteersrock #nationalvolunteerweek #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness #womensgroups #smallbusinessowner #supportsmallbusinesses #langleybc #fraservalleybossladies #yvrparties #yvrblogger #yvrafternoontea #givingback #donating @signature_experience_events @thetealadyrita 3/29/2023 0 Comments March 29th, 2023Do you know what day it is today? 🙋🏻♀️ 🙋♂️
“Mom and Pop Business Owners Day! 👩💼 👨💼 You read it here! You’ve also read and heard… “When you buy from a small business, an actual person does a little happy dance!” When you support small businesses, you are making a big difference. Every small purchase makes a big difference. When you invest in local and small businesses, you are helping entrepreneurs employ local people, who invest their money and time, which supports your community and your business. You are benefiting by choosing to support local “mom and pop” shops; small businesses. Behind every entrepreneur is a story; they’re living it and sharing it with you and others. “Small businesses provide the feeling that a real person is behind it all, someone who cares more about giving us a quality product or service, over just taking our hard earned dollars.” - Annie Bukhman (designer, founder - Gift Shop Brooklyn). Go and support your local shops, so they can serve you while they do a happy dance, pay the bills and invest back into your community. 💃 🕺 Tag 🏷️ your small business ⬇️ 👇 and others that you are supporting.

They hold you back from accomplishing amazing achievements. You may at times doubt, be afraid, (you’re not the only one, same over here) and you could be dealing #irl struggles (aren’t we all?) or other distractions; don't let them get you down! Been there, done that! It doesn't work and it sucks! Pursue your dreams, step by baby step, with unrelenting passion! ❤️ Encouragement for you…

Do you know? Hydrangeas represent gratitude, grace, heartfelt emotion, joy & beauty. These widely popular ornamental plants are loved for their grand flowerheads. The epitome of spring! You want to feel & share these fabulous feelings with your friends! 🙌 Easy for you or your event planner to set your table. A pretty decoration for any occasion. Whether you choose them for your next girls gathering, garden or birthday party, afternoon tea or “just because”, you will have a visually-appealing centrepiece! Easy-peasy; you cut fresh flowers, place stems in a vase & you capture happiness! 😍 4 tips - make your cut hydrangeas last longer: 1. Cut off all leaves near the bottom of the stems. Leaves drain moisture from the flower head & cloud the water. Leave some leaves (grammar?😁) close to the blossoms. 2. Use a sharp knife cutting stems on an angle. This way blooms receive the most water. Use a sharp knife; the stems are tough. 3. Buy alum at your local grocery store. (spice aisle). When you cut the stems, dip them briefly into alum, then quickly put them in room-temperature to cool water. 4. You want your arrangement to last long; so cut the ends (which open up the woody stem to drink in fresh moisture). Change the water every 2nd day. 💧 Depending on your style, use vases, mason jars, ornamental glasses, wine goblets or a teapot for a lovely conversation piece. 🫖 “Life is better with friends, flowers & fun!” (quote by “moi”) 😉 ❤️ 💐 Always look for the beauty…& flowers in life!

You & they need(ed) imagination, vision, inspiration & focus & of course passion. All of these require patience. Believe in yourself! Anything is possible. You can do it. 😄 You’ve turned off self-limiting beliefs & others so-called advice, you heard in your childhood & adult years. Maybe it was your parents, teachers, friends, employers or others who meant well, who told you, you need to…(enter the narrative here) you need to do...be realistic, "get a real job" because “your dreams don't pay the bills.” yada yada yada.😉NVM those voices & your own voice in your head that tells you crap about your goals & dreams. You inherently know what your passions & dreams are! 💕 Your voice, your ideas & goals matter! No longer listening to others about who you or I or anyone else should be &/or do. It can take time to realize the decision is yours alone; who you are, who you aspire to be & what you want & can do & are doing…no-one else. When you are following me, you know I love encouraging & supporting others in their passions. It’s a beautiful thing to believe in & support others; it’s even more beautiful & important when you believe in yourself! When you are chasing/going after your dreams & passions, your status, age, or other’s opinions do not matter! When you are working on your dreams, don’t allow anything or anyone to hold you back from accomplishing magnificent goals & achievements! Action & motivation are key 🔑 to making your dreams a reality. 🙌 You will meet goal-getters along your journey & attract people who share your values. When YOU do you, decide to “go for it” & pursue YOUR dreams, you are inspiring others! You will feel good knowing that, so keep on doing you while you encourage others. 😊 “What you do has a far greater impact than what you say.” - Steven Covey Who encourages you to dream? You, friends, family, colleagues?

You might also know that I am an Event Planner, who loves helping you plan and prepare for your social gatherings, so you can enjoy stress-free events, #celebratethespecialmoments & #beaguestatyourownparties 🥳 🎉 🤩 Do you know? Some other jobs I have had/roles I have held in previous years were… raspberry-picker, (earned $5.00 my first time, waaaay back in the day; 😆 when I was a kid, 5 bucks was a LOT of money 💴 ) babysitter, storybook teller, lemonade stand “entrepreneur” 😊 🍋 …started the first 4 between the ages of 8 & 11, elementary classroom helper, lunch program helper, volunteer baker & crafts maker for kids programs, Sunday school helper, teacher and supervisor, Christmas program planner, PAC volunteer, MOPS volunteer, cleaning lady, cannery worker, (that 🐠 smell 😷) retail clerk, canvasser, bank teller (just dated myself here… 😜 aka Customer Service Rep), loan accounting officer, credit report officer, receptionist, council recording secretary, switchboard operator, claims support assistant, administrative assistant, cook, baker, thrift shop volunteer, volunteer event planner for women’s annual retreats and community church foyer greeter. In case you’re wondering, I had a “mostly” pleasant trip down memory lane while writing this. 😉 All of these various positions have helped make me who I am and taught me SO much about family, friends, people, myself, to love well, be forgiving, be kind, you reap what you sow, my weaknesses and strengths, the importance of a strong work ethic, the importance of saving money and spending it wisely, (I stumbled a few times, I admit & not only with money, in all areas) 😞 do your work well, wholeheartedly and with a smile, the customer is always right, there’s no free lunch, life is not fair, life is short, love is an action, not a feeling, “to thine own self, be true” - Shakespeare, and there are lessons to be learned, always. 🙏 **The most important, most challenging and most rewarding roles above all, personally, are being a wife, a mother and a grandmother!! ❤️ 😊 So you know some things about me that I betcha didn’t know!
