Winter descends . . .

and it is getting cold in my beloved Puglia . . . ahhh, hard to believe, as it just seems like I was there reveling in the summer's warmth and abundant sunshine. Seasons change though, and as we are reminded, winter will be coming soon! With winter, and the changing climate, comes the season of giving, Natale, as it is known in Italy, Christmas here.

We are moving forward at Chemarci with our website and preparing some wonderful items for your selection . . . we have beautiful handmade linens and fabrics, some over 100 years old, made in Puglia. We will also showcase pottery and stoneware from the region, which is crafted and finished by the artisans in Puglia, each piece unique and one-of-a-kind in its individual beauty. I am proud of what we have found in our initial collection . . . everything was definitely made with an eye for detail, a desire to be true to the regional culture, and as gifts from the artist's spirit . . truly done with love! These artisans and craftsmen truly love what they do, they have done it for years, and they continue to be inspired to work with their hands for your appreciation.

Thank you for visiting our blog and spending time in our delightful pursuit of "la dolce vita" through all-things Italian . . . we cannot wait to show you our site! See you again soon,
buona giornata a te!
