Our September breakfast in the garden with @mrpsplacecards was a dreamy gathering of creative friends on the most perfect autumn day. Karen and Martin treated us to a lovely breakfast al fresco, complete with china, linens, their own jams, and custom placecards graciously welcoming each guest. They are the team behind Mr. P’s Placecard Co, a company that specializes in honoring guests through considered details, and this was a great platform for them to share what they do and for those in attendance to enjoy it! This gathering explored the idea of growing our shared root system, broadening our network in order to give and receive support more widely. We each introduced ourselves and shared a bit about what we’re each creating, building, nurturing. We spoke, we listened, we took phone numbers and emails, and we made plans to continue the connections beyond the event. I’ve been refining the Garden Club mission a bit more recently, identifying three goals for our gatherings and digital connection : To enjoy community- friendship and connection in a time when many of us are forging our own path and navigating directional shifts, solo careers, working from home, etc. It can be isolating. No one wants to create, build, dream in a vacuum. To share resources- to offer our spaces, our connections to helpful organizations, our insights into best practices and useful platforms. There is more than enough to go around, and when we share generously what we have access to, it could make a career or life changing difference to someone. It’s cyclical, and that same support will be there for us when we need it. To offer a platform to showcase our talents- We all got to enjoy what M&K offer, and they had an opportunity to present that to a larger audience. Now, when it comes to matters of entertaining, we may turn to them or recommend them to others - a great tool for growth. Huge thanks to Karen and Martin for hosting us and to everyone that dined with us in Old Chatham. For those of you just finding us now, I hope this encourages you to come join us at an upcoming event and enjoy this collaborative community building with us. #nourishthynetwork

Aaaaand here is our table reveal for @designmattersnc!!! The tablecloth is Florinelle from our upcoming @leejofa collection fabricated by @stitchnycinc. Dishes and elegant urn from my co panelist and upstate neighbor @christopherspitzmiller. The adorable napkins were custom embroidered with an H by the inimitable @janescotthodges. I cannot wait to take those napkins home! Lovely mushroom placecards from none other than @mrpsplacecards. Punchy glassware from @eutopia.design - thank you so much for understanding the color brief and bringing us the amethyst and pink glasses!! @debrazinninteriors was kind enough to lend us flatware and candlesticks from her own collection. And the centerpiece of it all- the extraordinary flower arrangement by @lauradowlingtheflorist - White House florist and flower whisperer. Be sure to come hear @christopherspitzmiller and I speak about designing our own homes along with @verandamag @steelemarcoux Friday morning!! Pics by @janescotthodges in

Has it been 6 years? When I hark back to the time when ELLE Decor published our home, we were right in the middle of the pandemic and not sure where life was going. Karen and I had just left our 30 year careers in fashion to launch Mr. P; we bet the ranch on the business. Then the pandemic struck. We weren't shipping much during that period because gathering was a bad word---rightly so. Joy was our only compass to navigate these uncertain times. But the time allowed us a moment to hone where we wanted to take our brand, and we want to thank everyone who found us and supported us during that moment. My dear friend Sheila Bridges called and said that she had recommended our home to the editors of ELLE Decor. Of course, I pushed back and said, "The house isn't ready." Of course, in Sheila's way, she pushed right back and said, "The house will never be ready. There's always one wall to paint. There's always a missing rug. There's always something that isn't right, ...but you have enough." No one had been in the house for well over a year: no housekeeper, no one. And on top of it all, above the salon (the terracotta-colored room) is Pax's bathroom. Over the years, when Pax would take a bath, he was flying a spaceship in the bathtub and used the drain lever as a control. We would hear him playing in the bathtub all the time, clanking the drain lever up and down for years. Paid no attention to it. Pax also had a tendency to fill up the tub as high as he could. Unbeknownst to us, his clanking of the drain lever loosened the seal. When he filled the tub over the lever line, water was back flowing behind the tub and dripping in the salon. Sisal is unforgiving to water. We had discovered it a few months prior, but of course, we couldn't let anyone in the house to come and repair it. Charles Curkin, our then editor, said, "Can we come next week?" We almost passed out. Lo and behold it all came together. An amazing team was put around us and they helped to see our house in a way that we hadn't seen it before.

What a delight to have Drew English @drewenglishsc @highhamptondahlias share with my Supper Club group recently in Cashiers! His love and knowledge of dahlias was captivating and contagious! I loved surprising my guests with beautiful tables using gorgeous china from @rambouilletrental and flowers by @floressenceflowers. Each place setting had a special notepad by @tinyhousepapers to jot down Drew’s favorite varieties and growing suggestions. “DaL-yahs” (with the emphasis on the first syllable) are the most intriguing flower with so many varieties and colors. Stunning beauty!! God’s beauty for us to share and TAKE IN! Stay tuned for more fun from our Dahlia Delights gathering! #dahlias #flower #tablesettings #beauty #takeinbeauty
