Hello friends I hope you had a nice weekend. I’m excited to share this post with you this morning because it fills me with joy and pride to be able to finally promote my dear friend Bre’s book.
I have seen the joy in her eyes as she talks about it and how much work, love and effort went into putting this book together.
I met Bre through blogging and she has been a beautiful and faithful friend for many years now.
My family and I have visited her home and hubby and I have met her and her amazing husband a couple of times for dinner as hubby’s work requires him to travel to Vermont and I often tag along so I can see Bre. She is someone that is full of laughter and grace. Speaking of laughter, you will always know when Bre enters the room by her laugh…LOL.
She has a beautiful talent of being able to set the most beautiful tablescapes and thankfully for all of us, she has put all her tips and tricks in a beautiful tabletop book. In this book she encourages us to open our homes to friends and family and to create sweet memories while gathered at the table.
I personally know that it is while gathering at the table that I have the most laughs with my family. Whether the conversations are about old memories or even disagreements, it’s always a blessing to sit with them and enjoy their company.
Whether it’s a humble table or a fancy gathering, Bre guides you and gives you the most beautiful ideas on how to set a table for every season.
And she wants you to get started by giving you the opportunity to win some of her favourite hosting essentials.
I wonder if I can enter this giveaway…ha

Just watching our family together. Laughing, remembering special times, telling stories about each other, is just so fulfilling…and around the table is where it always happens…
This is a beautiful Book.
Greetings from Austria Edith
Beautiful book and love your blog
Best memories of gatherings were during the summer time with all extended family making out to my house for a huge picnic. It was sometimes for an anniversary or a birthday, but it was always fun either way!

I love Bre and remember her laughter from Haven one year! This is an amazing giveaway and I need to get her book!
Cherish memories of my Mom all bundled up when the temperature would drop below 70. Miss her so.
One of my favorite memories was when several members of my extended family rented a house on the beach, over a Christmas holiday, several years ago. All the talking, laughing and playing has been etched in my mind for years. I’d so love to relive that time in my life again…
I loved gathering around my Grandmother’s table as a kid. I also loved setting my mother’s table for company. She had beautiful blue goblets I loved placing by each plate.
This is so beautiful!
Not one, but sooo many every year when all four of our children come home for Thanksgiving, we are then truly Blessed!
Love this blog! Thank you for this opportunity!!!
I think my favorite memory of gathering is a composite of Thanksgivings–multiple generations, with grandparents from both sides, cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings, and so much laughter and love and memory-making. Those were the best days.
My favorite gathering is anywhere, any place with family and dear friends. Making the gathering extra special with the ideas shown in Bre’s book are the icing on the cake!
One of favorite memories is also one of my saddest but I learned a lot of the experience. Thanksgiving 1997 changed my life forever. It was the last time my mother would sit at my table…for any occasion. It just so happened to be Thanksgiving. We had a huge meal that I had prepared, everyone ate, visited and had went on their way. My mom decided it was time for her to leave as well. I tried many ways to get her to stay, to spend the night. She lived 30 miles away in the next town. Hind sight is, no matter what you do, no matter what you say, when it’s time, it’s time. She left to go home, she never made it. I never imagined a car accident being the way my mother would leave this world. But that’s how it happened. What saddens me most of all about that day, I was so busy making sure every thing was “just right” that I never took the time to take snap any photos (something I ALWAYS done). I have no memory in photos of that day, just what is in my mind. Looking back, it was perfect. Because she was there. FAMILY was there. So now, I have made it a rule, before we eat, for any occasion, we capture it in a photo, gathered around the table. I remind my (grown) daughters, grandkids, etc., you never know who might not be there next time. Take the time. Time is the one thing that is free, you can’t change or get more of it. Spend it wisely.
My favorite memory from around the table was at my husbands grandparents house. Both of our families were together and it was my first time meeting my now husband. Grandma had such a way of making every one feel welcome at her table.
Lovely set!
Beautiful book.
Excited for this giveaway. Thanks!
My favourite memories are of helping my grandmother decorate weeks ahead , preparing the meal and setting the table with her prized linen. Now I’m a grandma and am passing on the tradition with my grandchildren….My heart is full.
With my family during Thanksgiving and listening to wonderful stories of inspiration and great food.
