Cara Paola.
Quando ti sei laureata io avevo solo un anno! E’ passato tanto tempo… tu non lo sai, ma I always find your way! We continue to cross without meeting ... I am a "seeker" ... to our store, "the white deer." My passion is to find things beautiful and unique ... special word. For 12 years I have been around the world ... the fair ... internet ....! And always, when I find something beautiful, I love so much, there you are up front with your own ideas!
passion for beautiful things I've subscribed to newspapers most beautiful in the world: Au Maison Cote Sud, Elle Decoration ... often I find beautiful things ... and very often you're still there in front of you! Once in a newspaper you had painted in a beach house rugs directly on the stone floor ... Simply brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The line that you have done for Gervasoni - adorable! I bought almost all items for my little shop! Because the facts are so very fascinating. The hands for the salad, the holders of wood enamel 18 times ... make it all very curious.
Not to mention the cut in earthenware candlesticks!! Without words. No one can believe that these objects are really stoneware. They seem pretty paper.
After then, the fair in Frankfurt, my heart jumped when I saw the stand of Reichenbach. Dishes with old forms, traditional dress in a modern ... and who c ' was there before? Of course you ... with your ideas ...
You do not know but we also have a friend in common: Rosalie ( http://www.ixcasala.com/ ) ... Paola
So dear, I would simply say "thank you" ... and because I can not meet you in person I thought I'd write you this letter. Thanks for the good things you do and thanks for the good feelings and inspiration to me every time. Who knows ... maybe one day I will have the chance to meet you in person ... really ... maybe a day that goes by Pistoia ... Meanwhile, I continue to follow / chase for the wild beasts and all the papers and who knows ... one day ...

Dear Paola,
as you received your bachelor degree I was just one year old. It is a long time ago… you do not know this but I often cross your way! We cross our streets without meeting us. I am a “searcher” … for our shop: “il cervo bianco”. My favorite hobby is to search special, beautiful things. Since 12 years I travel all around the world… through the fairs… surfing internet… ! Always, when I find something beautiful, something that I really like… you are there… at least with your ideas!
Because of my passion for beautiful things I have a subscription for the most beautiful magazines: Au Maison, Elle Decoration, Cote Sud… very often I find wonderful things… and very very often you are there! One time in an article you have painted a carpet directly on the floor of a house at the sea… simply a genius!
The serie you make for Gervasoni – lovely! I have bought almost all the objects for my little shop. They are all done in a fascinating way. The hands for salad, the wood candle holder… make everybody interested.
…and the gres candle holder!!! I am without a breath… nobody can believe that they are in gres… it seems that they are make with paper.
Another time, at the fair in Frankfurt my heart had to spring when I saw the stand from Reichenbach. Plates with old traditional forms are presented in a new modern dress… and who were there… for me… ? You… obviously… with your ideas…
You don’t know that but we have also a friend together: this is Rosalie ( www.ixcasala.com ) …
So, dear Paola, I only would like to say “thanks” to you… because I can meet you personally I decided to write you a letter… Many thanks for the beautiful things that you make and many thanks for the beatiful sensation and inspiration that you give me. Perhaps… perhaps one day I will have the pleasure to really meet you …. Perhaps one day you will arrive in Pistoia… perhaps… In the meanwhile I will follow you through the fairs and all the magazines and perhaps… one day…
