How I hosted 16 ladies this week

It doesn’t take long after feeling the quality of Provvista to understand why it is becoming a popular plate and serving wear for interior designers and tastemakers.

I had the honor of welcoming founder, Kathryn Brantley, to Charlotte for a special luncheon to celebrate the latest collection of dishware. Friends, family and local tastemakers gathered for an authentic morning laughing, being nourished and hearing the story behind the lovely brand, Provvista.

Designed in Georgia and made in Portugal — available online and in select shops. A fun fact is that Bee is the beloved aunt of interior designer, James Farmer, and you’ll find her dishware and pieces throughout his coffee table books and home. You can shop 15% off anything on her site with code “GARDENANDGRACE15.”
