Ahhh, summer in Tuscany… There’s nothing quite like it.

And we weren’t the only ones — it seemed like everyone in sight also had a bright orange cocktail in hand. After Camille and […]
Almost every surface in Samantha Heligman and Eliana Bernard’s Austin home is covered with their ceramic creations — vases, trays, plates, drink ware — you name it, they’ve made it. I met up with the studio mates turned roommates for brunch, and the girls traded in their ceramic tools for kitchen tools as they whipped […]
