With all of the challenges that we have faced over the past few months, we can all agree that time with family and friends is more valuable than ever. As we step into summer I find myself missing family gatherings. I crave time spent enjoying good wine and food with loved ones, and the urge to entertain is stronger than ever with the current warmer weather and long sun filled days.

My hope is that our carefree gatherings and fun will return sooner rather than later. In the meantime, I thought I would share inspiration for your next summer table.

Over the past three years I have participated in Boston’s Heading Home to Dinner. The event brings members of the Boston design community together to raise money and awareness for Heading Home Inc. This wonderful foundation is devoted to helping low income families and individuals with housing, food, and other resources to get back on their feet.

Now more than ever, we need to help those in need. Please join the Boston community and #shareyourtable in support of Heading Home. Visit www.headinghomeinc.org to donate. You can also join us for this year’s #Pause4Peace on September 29th, for an opportunity to tune in for a live video of the past three years and donate.
