~About Me~

My name is Everdina. I was born and raised in The Netherlands aka “Holland” in the small village of Bilthoven. Our home was right above our family owned wine store and restaurant, where I would roam around as a young girl and often help out. It was so much fun growing up around my family's business. My loving parents provided me with many wonderful childhood memories growing up in Europe.

Everyday was tea time after school with my grandmother. I loved my tea with a little bit of milk, sugar and a cookie of course. My grandmother, a real lady and successful business woman, had a great influence on me. She, along with my mother, made me the lady I am today.

Now living in California, I have been married for 19 years and have been blessed with three beautiful children. I have been fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom. I enjoy volunteering in my children's classrooms and with the PTA. I am also the yearbook photographer which is a wonderful thing since I have a passion for photography. With my kids a little bit older now I have started a long desired business to become a tea party hostess. With the support of my husband and my good friends I'm making this little dream come true. My tea party service “Lily's Tea Time” is named after my daughter Lily which is also my favorite flower. My love for tea, dainty tea cups, and tea pots has now bloomed into a “Tealightful” service, an event that I'm able to bring and share with you!
