Entertaining

We live and entertain by the seasons in New England, and a quick trip outdoors yields plenty of inspiring material to help us create beautiful tablescapes and decor, using nature’s abundance. Although Fall is our glory, we do it up all year round, from clambakes on the beach, to football parties, even gathering around the fire pit in winter with hot chocolate and toddies.
