Book Signing Highlights & a Special Invitation

Hello friends!! I can't even begin to express to you the gratitude and thanks that fill my heart over the response to my new book The Gift of Gathering. The process for this book took about two years, so to finally have it out in the world for all to see, and in your hands, still feels so surreal. And a little vulnerable if I'm being completely honest :) I've mentioned before how much I wanted this book to feel like a gift, so I poured my heart into, and now that it's out, it feels like I'm walking around with my heart on my sleeve, but in the BEST way possible! Whether you have gotten your hands on a copy of the book yet, or not, I have a special invite for you today! ~ ... Read More about Book Signing Highlights & a Special Invitation

Thanksgiving Tablescape | 2019

10/10/2019 By Bre

10 Oct

Hello friends!! I have to be honest, each year I create a holiday tablescape, I think to myself "this is my favorite". Even though I have no idea what next years tablescape will look like, I love the current one I just created so much that I think how can it possibly get any better. Then, fast forward a year and it's time to create another one, and now that one is my new favorite. It just goes to show that no two tablescapes will ever be alike, and you have to create whatever you are currently in the mood for. With that being said, here is this years Thanksgiving Tablescape ~ ... Read More about Thanksgiving Tablescape | 2019

Hello Friends! Our leaves are just about in peak season here in New Hampshire, and as I was driving around yesterday I couldn't help but just admire their beauty! I don't know what it is about fall, that totally puts me in the mood to nest. I want our house to feel cozy, I want to get-tother with friends and share a warm meal, and of course there is nothing quite like curling up with a cozy blanket and a hot cup of coffee as I watch the leaves fall from the trees outside. I know my friends in the south are just barely starting to get a break from that summer heat, so hopefully todays post will inspire some more fall decorating! ...

Hello friends!! Thank you SO much for all of your sweet comments over the weekend, as I shared who my grandmother was to me, and the impact she had on my life! I dedicated my book to her, and after sharing it with everyone on Instagram, I knew I just had to share more of who this amazing woman was! You can read all about my grandmothers house HERE, in case you missed it, but after reflecting on the type of woman she was, it got me thinking - "How did she do it all?" If you have ever struggled with getting together with others, or even inviting someone over, you are in good company my friend, because so have I! Today I'm sharing the struggles I've felt, and the gift it is when we gather. ... Read More about The Gift {to} Gather

What a week it has been!! A whirlwind, but it has been so much fun celebrating the release of my book with you all week long!! I shared in my Instagram stories on Monday about who I dedicated my book to. My grandmother. I was so blessed to group up with a grandmother who only lived 8 minutes across town. My sisters and I would always ask my mom if we could go over for a visit, and I'm so thankful her door was always open. I learned so much in those visits at my grandmothers house, and today I'm sharing my book dedication to her. ... Read More about My Grandmother’s House

Setting the Table | The Gift of Gathering

10/04/2019 By Bre

4 Oct

I will be the first to admit, when I was a kid, setting the table for dinner was not my most favorite thing to do. Even when asked, I would begrudgingly say "yes", as I walked over to the silverware drawer and began counting out forks. I did not see the point. I couldn't understand why everyone else couldn't just get their own silverware? Why did I have to do it? What I didn't realize then, I've come to treasure now ~ ...
