What: Hi tea friends — Michelle here. 💜 I'm thinking of my mom, Diane, as Mother's Day approaches, and I wanted to share a special event that is close to my heart.
On May 2nd, we’ll be hosting our Purple Afternoon Tea — a gathering created for anyone who is honoring and remembering a woman they carry with them every day. A mother. An aunt. A sister. A cousin. A dear friend. The women who shaped us don’t stop shaping us simply because they’re no longer here.
Grief and reflection aren’t uncomfortable words, they’re human ones. They connect us. They remind us that while death may be final, love is not.
At this special tea, we’ll wear purple (my mom’s favorite color), enjoy an afternoon of beautiful food and uplifting music, and share a gentle toast and words of remembrance in celebration of the women who made us who we are.
If you’re holding someone in your heart, this table is for you.
Cost: $45.00 per person.
Deposits are not required for this gathering. If, when the day arrives, it feels a little too tender or overwhelming, we want you to give yourself permission to pause. Take the time you need to sit with your feelings - we understand.
Ages: This event is best suited for guests 12 years of age and older.
