I'm my truest, happiest self when I have a house full of people, and I knew that a truly heartfelt brand absolutely had to be built on my heart for hosting. As I thought about what that meant, I thought back to who had laid the foundation for that passion: my grandmothers.

My Gammy is truly the hostess with the mostest. She has gathered our family in her home for holidays every year of my life, and there is just nothing like the Reeves family Christmas celebration. She has stocked nearly my entire kitchen with entertaining pieces (and my beloved Le Creuset dutch oven—swoon).

My Mimi isn’t around to cook her famous, smothered-in-butter dishes anymore, but she left the sweetest legacy in the form of her recipes. There was deep love and genuine care baked into everything she put on the table, and I just can’t think of a better legacy to chase.

And so, I borrowed a take on their first names—Elizabeth and Jeannine—and it is my deepest hope that this little lettering dream of mine will also embody the qualities that these two special women have taught me: celebration, legacy, and hospitality.
