Good Morning and Merry Christmas Eve!!

I’m so happy you can join me for Saturday Morning Gather today.

Saturday Morning Gather is my weekly newsletter where I share things going on at Vintage Home, and also inspiration and things I have found during the week that I think you might enjoy.

on the blog

Last week was my monthly dinner club. We hosted a wine and cheese party to celebrate the holidays.

If you’re not familiar with my virtual dinner club, it is a group of 5 blogger friends that joined up 2 years ago.

Every month we create a tablescape and menu to go with a theme we have chosen that month.

We post our tablescapes the last Thursday of each month and the menu is the last Saturday of the month.

We rotate which one has each course, and we post a recipe to go with our theme.

If you missed this months tablescape, you can see that here.

I am still a bit in shock, but so incredibly grateful.

There are some beautiful trees that have been chosen in the top 10 and I am honored to be among them.

The winner will be featured in the holiday issue of Cottages and Bungalows magazine in 2023.
