Dear Friends,

Can you feel it? That crisp hint in the air that whispers of cozy dinners, holiday celebrations, and all the beautiful gatherings that make fall and winter special?

If you’re like many of my friends, this thought brings both excitement AND a little flutter of anxiety. You want to open your home to the people you love, but maybe you’re feeling …

Overwhelmed by where to even start
Worried about everything being “perfect”
Unsure how to make entertaining feel effortless instead of exhausting

Here’s what I know after welcoming thousands of guests into our home:

The magic isn’t in perfection — it’s in being together!

September and October are the perfect months to get ready for our fall and holiday gatherings, the ideal time to follow Step #8 in my “Ten Steps to Effortless Entertaining” …

“Don’t Wait for the Party to be Ready for the Party!”

In today’s Instagram post and newsletter, I give you a sneak peek at how I organize my table linens and a few of my favorite linen sources.

In my “30 Days to Effortless Entertaining” workshop, I give you much more than a peek. I pull back the curtain in my own home to show you how I organize everything I use when entertaining from kitchen to tabletop. It’s what I call the back-office operations.

I will guide you in making sure you have everything you need and making sure everything is well organized and at the ready for all your gatherings. No more running around the week before your party to find what you need!

Whether you’re a reluctant host who breaks into a sweat at the thought of having people over, or a seasoned entertainer looking for fresh inspiration, this workshop will transform how you think about hospitality.

Watch now!

In today’s Instagram video post, I’m showing you how I store my table linens in our mountain home.

In the workshop …

Two workshop sessions are starting this fall:

Session 1: September 17th
Session 2: October 15th

Over the next week, I’ll be sharing insights from the workshop — what makes this experience special and how it can help you step into the season of gathering with confidence and joy.

I want you to imagine this … What if entertaining could feel as natural and joyful as having coffee with your best friend? What if you looked forward to hosting instead of dreading it?

That transformation is possible, and I’m here to show you how.

Join me! The first fall workshop begins on Wednesday, September 17th!
