New crafting event combines tea and terrariums

A Kailua-based organization that works to foster the artist in everyone is hosting a new series of events called Thursday Terrarium Tea Party. It’s a hands-on workshop that lets people make their own little gardens in a globe, while enjoying tea and a scone. The series launches on May 11.

“From experienced to beginners, our events will let your creative juices flow while creating a zen-like environment influenced by our island home. Each creation is a modern take on the traditional terrarium, inspired by nature and its elements (air, earth and water). Every guest will leave with their very own one-of-a-kind succulent terrarium,” says the press release.

The tea party is coordinated by Art Bridge Events, a new group that “aims to bring the community together through art, thereby building a bridge between artists and non-artists by nurturing creativity and positivity,” according to its website.

Art Bridge Events suggests this crafty workshop is perfect for ladies’ night out, date night, birthdays, special gatherings, bridal shower, creative night, family bonding, and more.

Thursday Terrarium Tea Party (May 11 – July 2017):
Every Thursday from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Anuenue Exquisite Tea –  25 Maluniu Avenue, Suite 102, Kailua

Peace of mind By Diane Ako I like to reflect on life. Sometimes it’s philosophically. Sometimes it’s humorously. For all its beauty, life is far too difficult a journey to take alone. You need the support and connection with others to help carry you along the way. Writing brings me that connection– within and without. It clarifies my thoughts and feelings. It helps me reach out to others for advice, wisdom, or feedback. Your thoughts become your actions. Your actions become you. A wise yogi- Patanjali- said, “Speak what is true. Speak what is pleasant.” Let’s speak of things pleasant to one another and seek some peace of mind along the way. ABOUT Diane Ako joined Hawaii: In Real Life in October 2016.
