Once again collaborating with my favorite partners in crime, Sasithon, along with Montague Contemporary at their gorgeous artist residency, N°2 Main , for a dinner honoring their Artist-in-Residence, DELANO DUNN

We used miniature prints from Delano’s indelible President Series as place cards, and if you look closely, you’ll notice each one is numbered. Any guesses what the numbers represent?

It sparked conversation, and felt like the perfect artwork to celebrate—and reflect on—America’s 250th anniversary.

You can also see these paintings at their full scale, shown here from Delano’s exhibition at Troutbeck . They’re even more powerful in person.

Memorable hosting is rarely about one big thing. It’s the small things done right.

Follow along if you’re ready to bring the warmth and connection back into the way we gather 🥰

Had the time of my life on The Today Show. I don’t know what’s in the water over there, but everyone is absolutely wonderful, kind, and fun.

You’ll accidentally become an influencer for this.

It’s a spoon.
But not really.

It gets every last bit out of the jar. Sauces, jams, peanut butter, all of it.

And people lose their minds over it.

Bring this as a hosting gift and watch 😎
