I thought I had found the most beautiful shops…see here, here and here…but another one has presented itself to me.
I was walking down the main street of Pietrasanta, Via Garibaldi, when I spotted Luca Ferrari…House Counselling, and was drawn inside by lovely things.
It is one of those shops that make you want to throw out everything you have and start again.
Come on in…
Of course, I won’t be doing that, but a couple of items came home with me.
I met the charming owner, the one with the exquisite taste.
I can see that this will not be my last visit.
Luca Ferrari,
Via Garibaldi 52,
Pietrasanta.

Pietrasanta’s piazza looked wonderful, despite the rain.
What a beautiful find. Lucky you. The owner is cute!

Oh looks fabulous. I remember being with you in Sardinia where we found THE most beautiful store anywhere. This one looks stunning too.

I love the business description “house counselling”. I can see my house would go sobbing to him complaining that I just don’t understand it! What beautiful muted colours – I would be happy with even the dog’s bed!

I loved the name too. It was the sign that drew me to it.

We loved going to Pietrasanta…beautiful shops, and great little restaurants everywhere…will have to search for this one.

This shop is relatively new, just 2 years. I hope it does very well.

I can’t think how many times i’ve had the same thought of throwing everything out and starting over again when I discover a new household shop!

I don’t know how I missed this shop on past visits. My usual car park was full and I parked at the other end of town…lucky.

I’m in love with its old world charm. In love with the spool of rope( I have one) that has a glass dome over it – what a neat idea. I wish I was there right now.

Wonderful contents aside, the house counselling tag is inspiration enough!!!! You find the best things Deb.

This time I bought the dish drainer and some little pots, but I am seriously thinking about the fire tools for Casa Debbio. We are sitting in front of the fire right now and I can see it sitting there…I think I must go back.
