This darling fellow came in with two toddlers to buy the conference room table while I was doing the liquidation sale and he said “you did our wedding and it was the best wedding ever and the food was so delicious!!” and he said oh my God, that’s our thank you note right there!! If you’ve been to Pure Joy, you know we have this decoupage of all the press and thank you notes in both the lobby and the brides bathroom. It was a beautiful moment, and absolutely darling, and how fun that his dining room table will now be the table he did his wedding dinner tasting on?!

It's Comfort Food Season and we've got our stretchy pants on!

We couldn't be more excited by the rich, golden, and perfectly indulgent Mac & Cheese. It’s a crowd favorite with gruyere and white cheddar. Ask Patrick about the Truffled Mac & Cheese adding that extra touch of luxury to any holiday gathering.

This season of abundance offers endless inspiration for setting a table that feels both heartfelt and refined – where natural textures, dark undertones and elegant details, every element comes together to tell a story of warmth and togetherness.

Adorn your table with seasonal touches like heritage glassware, earthy tones and textures inspired by the season’s palette, or deep-hued florals in rich tones. Thoughtful details—like handwritten place cards or sprigs of fresh herbs—add that unforgettable, curated touch.
