Last summer, Once Upon a Tea Leaf hosted its first tea-ki bar social in Maple Ridge’s back alleys. Sadly I wasn’t able to attend but when I saw the pics of the event, I knew I wasn’t going to miss it this year!
I made a hand lettered chalkboard sign to greet guests as they arrived.

Guests accessed the party by going through the shop. This back alley party was like nothing I’ve seen before. Cocktails, a food truck dinner, live DJ, prizes, games, gelato… you name it!
The decor made me feel like I was on a tropical vacation. The balloon garlands, the flower arrangements, the hand made paper flowers – it was all so amazing!

Our tickets included unlimited non-alcoholic beverages, tea, salsa and chips, 2 cocktails, 3 tacos from Taps & Tacos, and Cremino Gelato.
Here we are enjoying our yummy snacks and cocktails!
My sister even won a $100 gift card for best dressed!
Proceeds from the event went to Ridge Meadows Association for Community Living‘s Vicuna Art Studio.
This was such a fun event for a girls night and we had a blast! I could tell that so much work and love went into organizing this event and I hope there will be another next summer!
