Hello, friends! How’s your holiday weekend so far? I hope you have something fun planned to celebrate the not-so-fun end of summer.

First on my list is a two-part tribute to the late design legend Robert Kime. Filmed as a preview to the October 2023 auction of Kime’s personal collection, the two videos honor a lifetime of influential work, and an impressive network of meaningful friendships.

Robert Kime

A stunning collection of twelve definitive Robert Kime projects, ranging from Bloomsbury to the Bahamas, from the Irish countryside to la France profonde. Magnificent, specially-commissioned photography by Tessa Traeger is accompanied by a text which combines illuminating descriptions of the choices and challenges involved in each project with an account of how this most cultured of designers developed his eye. With a foreword by H.R.H The Prince of Wales, this is the definitive book on Robert Kime, one of the most respected and influential English designers of our time.

A World of Curiosities, by Louise Penny

I’m aching to dive into the world of Three Pines again with Louise Penny’s latest novel, A World Curiosities. I’ve been savoring each book of the series like I would an exquisite box of chocolates, making my way slowly, and each morsel last just a little bit longer. But once I read the reviews of her latest book, I knew I had to skip ahead!
