I recently hosted the sweetest little friendship gathering in our unfinished space — a simple evening that turned into something so special. We set a long wooden table under the stars, dressed it with our benches, linens, florals, and the dreamiest cake from a local baker. Even though the space is still raw and in the early stages, it felt magical — full of laughter, connection, and beauty.
Some of my daughter’s closest friends joined us, and we laughed until our stomachs hurt. I’m so thankful for the local florist and baker who trusted my vision and brought it to life — they added so much heart to this night.
It reminded me of what I truly love: creating spaces for people to gather. This might have been a small gathering of ten, but it was the beginning of a bigger dream — to offer a beautiful place for others to do the same.
