The crystal blue waters, the white sand beaches, the unforgettable food, the craftsmanship, the kind (and stubborn) Sardinian people make the island of Sardinia one of the most beautiful and magical places on earth. I'm not saying that because I am from there; it truly is breathtaking.

I spent three days scouting for craftsmen, meeting with designers and "vacationing" galleries with outposts at Porto Cervo. Of course I'm leaving with plenty of ideas to follow up on and the intention to return soon to continue to elaborate projects here.

I found this Sebra Head by Anne-Claire Petit in a clothing store in Promenade du Port. These heads are hand-made in Asia for charity.

Plates, so many plates.

The sun is always shining here and between 1pm and 5pm everything closes because the locals consider it too hot to be outdoors . . . or to do anything.

It's perfect.

Ciao Ciao Sardegna.
