What This Actually Feels Like

Think autumn playlists. Think candlelit Shop to ourselves.

 

Think your favourite oversized jumper and nowhere else you need to be.

This isn't a serious art class, promise. The painting simply gives your hands something lovely to do while the conversation flows all on its own.

 

You'll discover two of Bird & Blend's seasonal favourites with a guided matcha workshop and chai tasting, then pick your favourite handcrafted drink to sip while you paint.

Because you're still in there, the woman behind the title and she deserves an evening like this. 🤍

You'll leave with…

🎨 A canvas you're weirdly proud of
🍵 A new favourite autumn drink
😂 A belly full of laughs
🤍 New friendships
✨ That "I'm SO glad I came" feeling

Fantastic evening surrounded by incredible women! A lot of thought and effort has gone into the event, the added touches and women who helped put this together had clearly put a lot of work in, it was a great event to be a part of. I was not sure what to expect but it was better than my expectations and I would go to another event again. Diana had an inspiring story to share, connecting with other mums who just get it and all of the treats were just perfect x

Really enjoyed the evening, liked the thoughtful extras like the individual photos at the end. The talk was a little long but appreciated that the event still finished on time. The event timings were spot on as getting home at a reasonable time was important to me with young kids!

It was a lovely evening, styled beautifully! All the ladies were friendly and had a nice relaxing atmosphere. Nice touch with goodie bags and the drinks and food.
