We had such a beautiful Mother's Day weekend at the store. Thank you so much for picking up so many incredible pieces from Forgotten Island filled with gorgeous blooms from our friends at Weatherlow Flowers. I am cooking up something kind of cool for the next Forgotten Island project... stay tuned if you're up for a highly curated collection of sourced art and objects ready for their second life!

I finished this sweet commission today. I cannot tell you how much I love balancing my own ideas with those of my clients brave enough to trust I can make their painting dreams come true. I have a few spots open this summer if you're ready to embark on co-creating your own bespoke piece, send me a note! hello@kristencoates.net
A few inspiring things to note
Credit Le Sirenuse
Le Sirenuse commissioned artist Nicholas Party to reimagine the bottom of their iconic cliffside pool in Positano. Look it up to see the tiny tile mosaics expertly installed by skilled Italian craftsman. Now I have a new reason to head to Italy!

Cabana is one of those brands I refer back to over and over. The ten year anniversary issue is stunning --- highly recommend. The print subscription is a little pricy, but I think it's worth it.

When I was in Milan I went to the AirMail newsstand opened by Graydon Carter, legendary, former editor of Vanity Fair, and fell in love with the variety. Now Carter has opened a whole book store with various books, magazines and AirMail swag in my old neighborhood in the West Village. I'm adding this to my list of places to pop in when I'm next in the city.

The last few months have been a whirlwind of wild times. I am so grateful to have this community and the unique circle of friends I've gained from having you in my little corner of the world for more than a decade. Thank you for all of the kind words, sweet notes and gestures I will treasure. Looking forward to all very good times and celebrating them with you. Much love on this mother's day to you and yours.
Live your most extraordinary life as soon as possible.
Finally got a Conor Clary ceramic piece and Mabel stole it.
Happy weekend from our family to yours!
