Claudia Pearson for West Elm

It's with huge excitement that I can finally reveal
my secret project I've been dying to share for a year now.

I've collaborated with West Elm and created a line of tea towels
and plates for their Summer 2012 collection.
They have been the nicest company to work with allowing me freedom
to come up with ideas.
When they suggested a hot dog plate with a dachshund on it,
I must admit I was dubious but I've fallen for the sausage
dog in a big way. I hope you do too and please head
here to purchase before they sell out.

March 1st Giveaway and New Spring Products

And finally my 2012 calendar and 2012 calendar tea towel are now on sale.

Some nice Japanese press and our Winter retreat

I'm writing this beside the pool in Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic.


It's our third time here and becoming our bi-annual family Winter break.
Las Terrenas is on the Samana peninsula and being a little off the
beaten track it's perfect for us. It's a favorite hang out for French and Italians
so there's all the local culture with smatterings of boulangeries and
amazing Italian restaurants. The beach is incredibly undeveloped
and easy to stroll to beautiful coves and shallow reefs.
Today we're off to hopefully see some whales.

I'll post some photos and illustrations when I return but, in the meantime
this lovely photo of me and my boys came to my inbox a few days
ago and I wanted to share it.

Suddeutsche Zietung Magazine

This past Saturday, two of my recipe illustrations
were published in Suddeutsche Zeitung magazine.
I wish I could understand German !!
