The Under the Tuscan Sun Bundle — Frances Mayes + 120ml Chalk Paint + Small Flat Brush

Everything you need to cook, create, and fall in love with Italy.

Some books don't just tell a story — they make you want to pack a bag and never come home. Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes is one of those books. Part memoir, part love letter to Italian food, light, and landscape, it's the story of a woman who did something bold, something a little mad, and something entirely her own.

Frances Mayes didn't just write about Tuscany — she made you feel the sun on old stone, smell the rosemary, taste the wine. This book is pure escapism, and it's never left me.

I read this book and immediately wanted to buy a crumbling Italian farmhouse. I didn't — but I did watch the movie twice and pick up a paintbrush. Close enough. 🇮🇹

Choose the colour that speaks to you:

• Arles — named for the sun-drenched Provençal town that inspired Van Gogh, this warm golden amber glows like afternoon light on old stone. Bold, joyful, and utterly Mediterranean.
• Old Ochre — soft, chalky, and quietly beautiful. The colour of aged plaster and sun-bleached walls, it brings the warmth of a Tuscan farmhouse to any piece.

Read the book. Dream of Italy. Pick up a brush. 🇮🇹

Bundle includes:

• Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes (paperback, lovingly sourced)
• Annie Sloan Chalk Paint — 120ml tin in your chosen colour
• Annie Sloan Small Flat Brush

Please note: all books are reloved and will have very minor wear.

A perfect gift for the Italophile in your life — or a little treat for yourself.
