THAT SUMMER FEELING

We’ve missed wine dinners on patios and decks, and starry evenings around the fire at the Cape. The social aspect of the New England summer is (safely) back, and with its return, we asked Dianne O’Connor, the founder and CEO of Weston Table (westontable.com), to offer her take on how to celebrate friends and family in style.
FIRE POWER
OFYR Storage Grill
“I love this grill, as it has two modalities of cooking, live-fire or the flat-top grill, and it’s beautiful—it’s not oft en you can say that,” says O’Connor.

LOBSTER NATION
Weston + Crow Canyon Home Lobster Enamelware
“I love enamelware—it’s not only beautiful but very durable and perfect for the outdoors,” says O’Connor. “We chose to adorn the pieces with the iconic lobster, a unique symbol of New England. This collaboration with Crow Canyon Home was near and dear to my heart, as it represents two female CEOs supporting each other’s businesses.”

BEACH DAY
Weston Table Two-in-One Picnic Basket-Table
“If you’re going to go to the effort of making a beautiful picnic, we think you should enjoy it in style,” says O’Connor. “Our new picnic baskettable is great because it allows you to carry your champagne and glasses to the beach with ease. Once you arrive, the carryall turns into your picnic table.”

FEEL THE GLOW
Simon Pearce Hurricanes
“I never miss an opportunity to illuminate a tablescape—the flickering glow of candlelights beckons you to the table and adds instant warmth,” says O’Connor. “These Simon Pearce hurricanes, exclusive to Weston Table, are a perfect choice for your [tablescape].”

ITALIAN JOB
Match Pewter Benevento Serving Set
“This set is special and quintessential Italy. It marries two very Italian elements—olivewood and Italian pewter—and combines them for a limited-edition set that’s both functional and beautiful,” says O’Connor.

SWEET THING
Maison Pébeyre Truffle Honey
"This is one of my go-to party tricks; it’s so flavorful and a real crowd pleaser,” says O’Connor. “Just drizzle a little of this truffle honey on good-quality butter, add a few sea salt flakes and crackers, and you have a quick appetizer.”
