It’s calling - do you hear it? Waves, seagulls, soft breezes, distant laughter, maybe even the faintest sound of an ice cream truck playing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” on repeat. It’s summer’s song - those sounds, sights, smells, tastes, and feelings that strike a chord within us reminding us of the very best of summer seasons gone by.

I love arriving at a table and seeing my name written on a little card inviting me to a meal and an evening with others that was planned and purposed. Place cards are elegant, thoughtful, intentional and are a simple yet beautiful way to let your table guests know that they have a specific place at your table. If you aren’t already using place cards, I highly recommend that you try them at your next gathering!

Whatever the spring season looks like for you this year, I hope that you will find moments to explore and experience what is changing, what’s emerging, what’s ahead, and what’s in bloom
