LAST WEEKEND was splendid .When you love what you do even when you’re exhausted you enjoy it.

New Thriving launched Afternoon Delight and my team and I were tasked with organizing the event.
We had a sampling of teas and some delicacies a few weeks prior to the event and that was impressive.
When we decided Saturday at 3 pm I was not so sure if it was a bit too early but it certainly was not because people started coming early.
The tickets were sold out a few days before the event and many others were interested but they will get an opportunity on the 6th May.
I love tea and I have some every day.
Just as the language and culture of this beautiful country reveals a melting pot of traditions adapted from different colonial and immigrant influences over time, tea time in Guyana is no different. “Tea” is a broader term in Guyana, covering much more than beverages brewed with Camellia sinensis, the plant popularly known and used to make tea around the world. In the Caribbean, this tea imported from Asia is called “green tea” while blends made from plants, leaves, roots, and flowers are called “bush teas,” sometimes used for medicinal purposes.
I enjoyed greeting people as they entered the venue especially the ones I met for the first time.
I never get tired of interacting with people and to think I was a very introverted child.
We were particularly happy to see so many guys because tea party mainly attracts females.
I even received a compliment from a blushing nine- year-old boy who thinks I am very beautiful.
Looking at families and friends beautifully dressed sipping tea and chatting, hugging laughing was a sight to behold. The ladies made special efforts to wear some very creative hats and pretty hats that complimented their attire.
The family structure is a very important element to any society and we have to continue to host events families can attend together.
Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for what you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what.
I am anticipating an awesome weekend God willing in Bartica with my family for the Easter weekend.
Having breakfast and watching the news with mom. Also catching up on things I would have missed for the last few months
We have to live in those precious moments and create memories with our loved ones. Don’t think about the numerous things we need to attend to because if we do that we will never capture the full capacity of these moments.
Afternoon Delight offered a variety of hot and cold teas and delicacies of all sorts. I think we had too many sweet so the next event we will have a lot more savory snacks.
The amazing Easter fashion collection was amazing for kids, males and females and available at Makin’ Style Boutique where you can select from a number of local designers’ clothing and jewelry.
The outfit I wore which was designed by Vanda Allicock received so many compliments. My creative hat was designed by Melba LaGadoue but I could not enter the hat competition (Melba’s hat design would have won). Lorane Sears who is a new designer presented a fantastic collection and she is a name you will be hearing a lot about.
Beads of Elegance by Fiona Graham North jewelry was perfect for the prom collection I presented
From the chunky to the small necklaces were all unique.
Afternoon Delight is set to be a daily staple for the newly built branch of the restaurant between 3 to 5pm.
For those persons who missed the launch you have another opportunity to enjoy the ambience with a special Afternoon Delight on the 6th May – A tribute to Mothers.
“A mother is she, who can take the place of all others, but whose place, no one else can take”
We have a line-up of well-known mothers who will take the runway including myself. We have a unforgettable two hours for you.
Get your tickets early from New Thriving and Makin’ Style and join us as we continue to enjoy this journey called life BEYOND THE RUNWAY.
