They're in!

This past year has held an abundance of humbling highlights in my work life and this one is certainly no exception. I had the incredible honor to work alongside the creative team at Crate & Barrel to design some fresh new ceramic and melamine plates that are hitting the stores now! Here's the ceramic set,
called Loire:

The melamine set, called Sorrento, is on their website now, but should be in stores soon. Ooo, and there are matching paper napkins for this group!

I've always loved the products at Crate & Barrel, but to work with the people there is how to know the company best. Above and beyond their unblinking eye for detail and great sense of color and styling, they're such an incredibly nice and dedicated group of people. It was a distinct joy to have a chance to work with them. When I walk into the store I certainly have a new appreciation for all the time and care that went into making so many pieces come together seamlessly! And they do it so well, season after season.

I love opening the mailbox to spot their catalog...which came yesterday. And to my total and complete surprise...
