The Kitchen Table
WHERE CREATIVITY & CONNECTION MEET.
A monthly gathering designed to bring women together in a meaningful and creative way. It’s a space to slow down, share, and be nourished—not just by food, but by conversation, inspiration, and community.
I arrived at the theme for July after writing this story...
Yesterday I went looking for something under the bathroom sink.
I found Italy instead.
Two bars of soap, still wrapped in brown paper. A shopkeeper's careful taping. A memory held in place since May 2025.
My daughter and I had taken a boat across the Venetian lagoon to Burano. The colored houses. The lace. A blue scarf I couldn't resist.
I'd already spent too much. Then a shop window stopped me.
Linen aprons, hanging still. Exquisite. The kind of thing you stand in front of longer than you mean to.
You could almost see the women who would wear them. Hands floury. Glass of wine on the countertop. Something on the stove. A family waiting to be fed.
I went in anyway.
The aprons I could only admire. The soap I could bring home.
I didn't know then that she was wrapping up more than soap.
Neither of us did.
Which got me thinking about the next Kitchen Table gathering. And it shaped my theme.
