I’m so proud of my sister, Susan Gravely! Last Saturday morning, she got spiffed up and drove from Chapel Hill to VIETRI to greet about 25 VIETRI shoppers at our Outlet Store for an Insider Club tour. Susan gave them a tour of our warehouse and shared the story of how our mother took us to Italy on a mother-daughter trip and we all three fell in love with handcrafted colorful Italian dinnerware and started VIETRI from that trip. I know the enthusiasm she shared and how it’s just as contagiously strong because it comes from the Italian artisans who create VIETRI’s dinnerware and glass, garden pieces and wall décor with generations of passion and pride.
It makes our day to have a response like this one:
Just a note to thank you again for a fun and inspiring visit Saturday August 20 for your Insider Tour, something I have been hoping to attend for a while.
I am enjoying my latest Vietri purchase from Saturday’s outlet store, and it was a hard choice among so many tempting offerings. I look forward so much to returning in October for the “Big One.”
When I consider the entire Vietri line since the 1980’s, I have to think that it has added so much beauty to so many homes. I am really grateful that the ‘three lives’ made a choice to take a risk and start an enterprise that has brought so much fun and excitement around America’s dinner tables. We can serve our best recipes with confidence and pride as you make it easy to set a beautiful table. Every time I bring a covered dish to a group buffet of friends or co-workers, your serving pieces get their share of the attention and ooh’s and aah’s just as does the food offerings. I can think of nothing to match Vietri in its charm and appeal and beauty. I have had so much fun shopping your outlet store over the years and am so sorry I did not discover it a decade earlier.
Many thanks and all the best for your continued success, and for your support of artisans and their handiwork.
Sincerely,
Terry Jones
