Welcome to Inside The Edit — a journal of reflections, inspirations, and behind-the-scenes glimpses from The Gathering Table Luxury Edit™.
This is more than a collection of gifts; it is a philosophy of living. Here, scent, softness, and story intertwine to create experiences that linger long after the moment has passed.
Consider this your seat at the table — a space for the curious and intentional, for those attuned to beauty in all its forms.
What’s In Store?
This season’s edit was designed as more than a gesture of giving — it is an invitation to savor thoughtful celebration. Each piece is chosen to speak softly yet meaningfully: to evoke a sense of warmth, refinement, and ritual. Within these notes you’ll discover the stories, inspirations, and small luxuries that shape our vision.
Behind the Edit: Moments of Inspiration
A visual diary of what stirs our imagination — books on the nightstand, the color of a seasonal bloom, the quiet charm of an object found. Each detail is a spark, shaping the world of The Gathering Table Luxury Edit™.

Curated Notes
A New Way to Give
An invitation to share small luxuries that carry meaning and presence.
“The best gifts offer more than beauty — they offer meaning.”
The Gathering Table Luxury Edit™ was created with one question in mind: What would it look like to give with elegance, intention, and softness?
In a world of rushed purchases and impersonal gestures, this collection invites a return to the art of gifting. What we have set out to offer is not just a product, but an emotion, a memory, and a moment.
Whether it’s a candle inspired by a woman’s quiet legacy, a keepsake journal designed for reflection, or a pair of blush satin pillowcases meant to whisper softness — this is about giving something that feels just right.
And yes, the first person this gift may be meant for… is you.
The full collection opens for orders October 15th — but you’ll hear from me first, right here.
The Meaning Behind “The Edit”
Why we choose what we choose: a philosophy rooted in beauty, ritual, and quiet design
Rooted in a decade of designing meaningful moments for mission-driven leaders, The Gathering Table Luxury Edit™ was created to honor reflection, connection, and care — especially during this season of slowing down.
I’ve always had a fondness for candles, room scents, florals, and the quiet, luxurious details that invite us to breathe deeply.
After years of discovering what felt beautiful, I knew it was time to create something that could be shared — especially with women who give so much, often without pause.
