I was recently in the south of France, spending time with my beloved grandmother of 93 and visiting some of the places where I grew up. The years I spent there have had a huge impact on me and my life and still inspires my work, my aesthetic and my lifestyle.
My grandparents house at the foot of St Paul de Vence where I spent a lot of time and loved it
The absolute classic french car
Where I took my grandmother for lunch-We had a delightful time together
Pretty menu from La Colombe D’Or
My grandmother and I leaving the restaurant, and I am holding my very favorite PW.com blue market bag. It comes everywhere with me!
The national flower of this part of the south of France: Mimosa, which was at it’s peak when I was there. I was so lucky to see them in bloom.
Verbena
I’d forgotten about all the lovely fountains in the villages
The streets are charmingly narrow in the old villages
Teasels
This is very easy to make and so lovely, besides being inexpensive and all natural/non-toxic. I bought four thick skinned Satsumas, even though I only needed one, just in case I made a mistake. All you need to make this candle is a small serrated knife, a small spoon, matches and olive oil.
