Last week we worked with several of our favorite creative to provide inspiration for a Harvest Dinner Gathering. We encourage you add rich, deep florals paired with pumpkins on your table, forage colored leaves for place cards, and set out the shiny china.
We adore this hostess look with an Ice Milk Apron, and did you know those striped linens will be on our new shop later this month?!? Stay posted for our new website and online shop.
