I’m so excited to introduce the latest collaboration with Cassandra LaValle of Casa di LaValleSimple Pleasures.

Like the last time Cassandra and I worked together, the Simple Pleasures collection is a true collaboration. Cassandra provided the beautiful warm color palette based on the handmade Italian splatterware dishes in her shop, and I took over from there.

I’ve never visited Puglia (where the dishes were made), but I was taken back to Tuscany when I worked on this collection. I happily revisited Siena and Florence in my mind while brushing golden yellows and warm shades of green on solid wood panels. I remembered sunset strolls, plenty of gelato, pasta, and Tuscan red wine, and slowly taking in all of the new-to-me very old architecture. It was truly a dream vacation, and I hope to visit again someday.

Even if we’re not in Italy, there’s something to be said for taking life more slowly. Taking the time to explore a new place in your own town. Having a nice dinner at a leisurely pace. Enjoying your morning coffee or tea with a novel and a nice view. The Simple Pleasures collection is a reminder to create and savor slow moments like these. These small moments are the very essence of what our lives are made up of.
