Find yourself a CFO who balances you out. 😂

@gboydwells and I have been through a LOT together over the last two years.

When we talk about turning @hellofevo around, there wasn’t one magic decision or one moment where everything suddenly changed.

It was hundreds of decisions. Some hard. Some uncomfortable. Some we debated endlessly. Some we got right. Some we had to pivot.

We got disciplined. We focused. We stopped trying to do everything and got really clear about what mattered: grow the business and build a sustainable company.

I’m usually the one saying, “Okay, but what if we did THIS too?” 😂 George is usually the one reminding me that math exists. And somewhere in between the two of us, it works.

I’m incredibly proud of how far FEVO has come, but even more proud of how we got here, with a team that kept showing up, making hard decisions, adapting and believing in where we were going.

We’re not done. Not even close. But the foundation is stronger, the direction is clear, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to have been in the trenches with.

Build the team. Protect the house. Set the coordinates.
George makes sure we can afford the coordinates and more. 😂💜

Muskoka → Hamptons → Aspen → Kenora → Aspen (again) → New York (twice). Summer didn’t hold back, and neither did I. Long tables, big lakes, and my favourite people. Bring on fall.

20 years at Lehmann Maupin💙

It’s hard to put two decades into words. When I look back, I’m most grateful for the people—the incredible colleagues who have become friends, mentors and family, and the artists whose vision, trust and work have shaped my career in ways I could never have imagined.

I’ve had the extraordinary privilege of growing alongside this gallery, witnessing so many moments of change, taking risks, celebrating successes, navigating challenges, and sharing countless unforgettable experiences along the way.

To the artists who have trusted me, the collectors who have become friends, and especially to my colleagues who have made these 20 years so meaningful: thank you!!!

Last week @misettetable set a long table in the Hamptons at @wolfferwine for @feed - @joeywolffer opened up her childhood home overlooking the vineyard she grew up on, and @laurenblauren brought the room together to raise funds so children can access nutritious school meals.

What FEED does so well is build community, not just events. That’s the thing Misette was built on too — a table isn’t decoration, it’s the format that gets people to care about something together. The warmth in that room was real.

Our very first year, we launched with an event in the Hamptons with Joey. In January we did our first FEED dinner with Lauren in Wellington. And around this table were people who found us early and stayed — @sarah_wettenhall of @thehedgeseasthampton & @thecolonypalmbeach and @erindanalichy one of our most loyal supporters since before RHONY even aired.

Three members of our Misette Founders Table community bought tickets to support FEED as well — @sarahpatersonworld @kblaffer & @rem__gram - I loved seeing our own Misette community showing up and sharing our values.

My grandmother emigrated from Europe to North America with almost nothing. The highest compliment she could pay anyone was that they set a beautiful table. Misette started from her collection, then my mother’s.

So I don’t take this lightly. I’m often in someone’s home trying to understand what they’d actually want to keep — what they’d pass down. The tableware is real and it’s beautiful, but it was never the point. It’s the physical form of a memory.

And the fact that this table helped feed children who don’t have one — that’s the whole thing.

Thank you @shelleysuh @arthurgolabekdesign @maison.ertaud @sdpr_rentals @kristinlgrayphotography and the @wolfferwine team especially @missmarymassey & @natelzzzxox who share my OCD love of setting tables with a tape measure.

A beautiful night in Rome. 🇮🇹❤️
Golden light, the last toast, the perfect way to close the celebration. Thank you @shorton007 🫶🏾 from Venice to Rome, every moment of it.

Everything good starts around the table.

On Wednesday @misettetable set a long table at @wolfferestatestables for @feed — @joeywolffer opened up her childhood home, overlooking the vineyard she grew up on, and @laurenblauren filled the seats with people who showed up for the mission: getting children access to nutritious meals.

Our second FEED dinner after Wellington in January.
Different table, same reason.

This is the whole idea behind Misette — pronounced “my set.” You choose your pieces, you set the table, and then you fill the seats. Joey hand-selected every piece for this one herself.

Loved collaborating on this table with @shelleysuh on the food @arthurgolabekdesign on the flowers, @maison.ertaud on the dessert, @sdpr_rentals @kristinlgrayphotography and the whole @wolfferwine team

Life is usually my boys and tons of work (esp with the new job) but every once in a while, you have to say yes to making memories too.

Grateful for an unforgettable journey from Venice to Rome aboard the Orient Express, celebrating a beautiful soul. Happy Birthday, Stephanie! Thank you for reminding me to pause, laugh, celebrate, and dance. ✨🙏🏾❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

Also, Venice is my ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇹
