9/30/2021 0 Comments Thursday Thoughts, Tea and SconesDo you know? 🙋🏻♀️ 💭 Have you ever wondered? The first mention of the word scone was in 1513 from a Scottish poet. Pronunciation of the word differs by area. In Northern England and Scotland, the word rhymes with “gone” whereas Southern England, Wales, East Anglia, Ireland and the United States’ pronunciation, rhymes with “tone”. The original scone was flat, round, made on a griddle and usually formed to fill a medium-sized plate. It was then cut into triangular-shaped sections for serving. Originally, they were prepared with oats, barley or wheat. As baking powder became available, scones were more often baked in the oven, a leavened baked good as we know it today. The flavours can be savoury; made with herbs, cheese, onion, bacon; or they can be sweet, filled with a variety of fruits and/or topped with butter, jam, lemon curd or cream. Although they are the most popular in Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England, there are regional varieties of this Afternoon Tea mainstay, in North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Africa.

Do you know? It’s easy for you to choose a centerpiece for your #events
Centrepieces are often an alluring bouquet of flowers. 💐 🌸 🌺 🌹 🌻 Decorating your table with charming centerpieces is fun. Your creativity needs know no bounds; your decor can be as unique as you are. The theme you choose can be elegant, vintage, rustic, contemporary or ?? When you use flowers, you will save money when you buy in-season flowers. Your choice of vases can be ceramic, metal, mason jars or teapots. If you prefer, you can choose smaller potted plants to add pops of colour. Another option is a bowl of sliced fruits; great for adding brightness and variety. Trim small jars or books with lace or ribbon as an embellishment, on their own or topped with a tea cup of short-stemmed fresh flowers. You could have an antique-looking tray, a table-top treasure chest or even a simple jar. Keep in mind, you want to see your friends while you’re chatting around your table, not be fussing with moving your arrangements. Choose a centerpiece on the shorter size; 12 inches. When decorating with small flower baskets, lower height displays, votive candles, which are below eye level; lines of vision will be open. When you choose tall(er) for an elegant dinner party; a pedestal vase, a candelabra or floral arrangement of at least 18 inches is ideal for eye contact with your guests. Here’s to lively conversations and seeing 👀 your friends while admiring visually-appealing centerpieces.

Did you know? 🙋🏻♀️ 💭 🤔 For 7 years I was one of the #eventplanners Ladies Retreats along with my co-coordinators. We were a team/a core group of 4 women who planned an annual event in October. It was held @campsqueah http://squeah.com/retreat/ on the outskirts of Hope, in the beautiful Fraser Canyon. The word Squeah - means “A place of Refuge” in the Salish language. http://squeah.com/camps/guide/faqs/ This place has been and remains one of my most favourite places to be! It is welcoming, scenic, fun and relaxing. My good friends, team members and I had loads of fun, laughed and cried with numerous challenges and concerns that arise when you are planning events. Things like logistics, technical problems, illnesses, inclement weather, food allergies, power outages and all that fun stuff. 😉 Not. Each year we planned interesting and exciting events, had different themes, guest speakers from all parts of Canada and the U.S. musicians, authors, financial planners, breast cancer survivors and more. Naturally, they were all women. Such amazing learning opportunities and humbling experiences. We had silent auctions, fundraisers, bookstore tables, arts and crafts, and cooking and baking demonstrations. Can you guess what other event we had? You guessed it: “Afternoon Tea” It was a blast planning, shopping, and decorating tables for about 120 women in the main lounge next to the fireplace. The chefs in the kitchen prepared an authentic Tea Party!! Ladies could dress up in their finest attire, with hats and big pouffy things and various accoutrements! A marvellous time of rest, relaxation, sharing stories, soul-searching, self-reflection, gathering #irl with old friends and making new ones, being honest and vulnerable while laughing and crying together. Incredibly healing and good for our souls, these meaningful relationships along with an abundance of love, kindness, grace, humility, support and friendship. 💕 🤗 🙏 Fabulous fun and experiences were enjoyed by all! Special memories to share and cherish. Relationships are what life is all about #events like these are a real treat and a retreat! 😃 😌 Click on the links below! ⬇️ Take a look 👀 at some photos! 📷 Swipe on the #instagram post to see the beauty! https://www.instagram.com/p/BanmFBClKXnQ2jgbr8GCvRBRVzKLVjQodb-lsw0/?utm_medium=copy_link ❤️ 💕 💝 🎁 😊 😌 😎 ☀️ 🍂 🍁 🌲 🍵 ☕️ 🥘 🍰 🧁 🍪 📕 📖 🚶♀️ 🥾 #fridayvibes #fridayfeels #fridayfun #fridayfood #naturealwaysamazes #autumnisawesome #eventplanning #coordinatorofevents #retreatweekends #weekendswithwomen #weekendgetaway #ladiesretreats #womensconference #restandrelaxation #timetorelax #timefortea #afternoontea #thetealady #celebtratethespecialmoments #makingmemories #womeninbusiness #femaleownedbusiness #womensupportingwomen #smallbusinessowner #vancouverbusiness #fraservalleybossladies #yvr #campsqueah 📷 @signature_experience_events 📷 @ritamargaritafarmer. camera 9/23/2021 0 Comments September 23rd, 2021Good sunny Thursday morning to you! ☀️ 🌞
