Art of Gathering
We Gather to celebrate special moments of our lives: births, deaths, nuptials, graduations, jobs/careers, vacations; seasonal and religious holidays or when you just gotta’ talk to your mother or best friend… Being with our loved ones in our homes, whether in joy or mourning, or just because, adds rich nuance and creates meaningful, memorable experiences. Here, you are inspired to elevate your Gathering so that your hospitality will resonate with friends and family long after the glasses are washed and the dishes are stacked.
“This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.” -Alice Waters
