Psst… Before we begin the first By Design gift guide of the season, a little heads up that we’re offering a Provence by Design trip for this coming spring! (Such an amazing time of year to be there 🌷) On this past trip, we had such delicious food, felt so inspired by local artists, had chances to explore the most charming towns, and had a very lovely time connecting with each other. Join us on the next one! Merci mes amis 😘

And now on to the Provence by Design gift guiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddeeeee…

PROVENCE BY DESIGN GIFT GUIDE

HOLIDAYS 2025. ENJOY! ❤️

(& keep an eye out for more gift guides to come)

ICYMI ❤️

• The first 2 Cotswolds by Design: Homes & Gardens trips sold out quickly, so we decided to add just one more for 2025. 🌼 The dates are September 10-16, 2025. Let me know if you’d like to come along!

• Been dreaming of the South of France? Come with us on the Provence by Design trip this spring! It’s such a breath of fresh air being in that little corner of the world, and the connections between our lovely groups and the local creatives we meet with are priceless. 🌞

• Did you get the updated version of my Paris by Design Top 20? So MANY choices in the city of light, and I narrow it down for you with my highly opinionated, well-researched guide.

• This month, we’re supporting The Trevor Project, our local food pantry, and Give Kids the World Village.

HELLO FRIENDS & TRAVELERS,

There will be more gift guides! I’m thinking one for Paris, one for the Cotswolds, one for travel/art/design books, and maybe even one for Belgium (I’m in the thick of researching a Belgium by Design trip. So much good stuff.)

As with this one, the focus will be on unique items by local shops, vintage sellers, independent brands, artisans, designers… So we’re not only getting thoughtful gifts for the lovely people in our lives, we’re also supporting lovely makers in the process. :)

Oh! And for the remaining gift guides… I’ll send one more out to the entire list since I missed October and therefore owe you extra for this month. But if you want to see them all, sign up for the paid version of Letters from Eva here, if you aren’t already. (And if you are, thank you! You’re making this entire undertaking possible! Hope you’re loving it and always feel free to reach out with requests or suggestions.)

One last thing while we’re on the subject… Wouldn’t a subscription to Letters from Eva be a great year-round gift idea for the travel/art/design lover in your life? Shameless plug, I know… lol.

Talk to you soon!

Feel free to forward this free edition to a friend 💌

Letters from Eva is a digital zine about traveling through the lens of art & design in France, the Cotswolds, the American West, & beyond. So glad you’re here. ☺️

PARIS BY DESIGN (LE BOOK)

I often get messages from people who have used Paris by Design to guide their trip to Paris and/or to get some creative Parisian inspiration from home. It makes me so happy to hear that they found the book to be helpful and inspiring!

Do you have a copy?

You can find it in my souvenir shop, on Amazon, from local independent booksellers (like this one or this one, for example) or request it from your local library.
