Leopard (or cheetah?) spotted in Florence
I clearly don’t know my animal names, but I love this store window dressing no matter what! And don’t worry, the cat is ceramic.
Tuscany in flowers
I love camellias. They are my favorite flower along with peonies, penstemen, roses, lily-of-the-valley, violets, marigolds, lilac, viburnum, geranium, anything vining and specifically wisteria, iris, carnations, pinks….I could go on and on.
But, my all-time favorite is the camellia. Look whats happening in Tuscany this spring!
The best doorbell yet
BBC “A Stitch in Time” is my favorite new show
New this New Year is a great premiering show on BBC4, which fuses biography, art and the history of fashion. Fashion historian Amber Butchart explores the lives of historical figures through the clothes they wore.

The church of San Felice in Piazza, Firenze
I stopped by this church today for the first time ever. Inside, the church felt well-used and well-loved. This would be a great church to visit if wanting to understand a service. I wanted to light some candles, but couldn’t find any candles to add to the stand. Maybe it’s a bring-your-own-candle situation?
My walk home
Today I wandered around the Oltrarno after the hairdresser. Great window-shopping!
I like the teapot chandelier below!
I want this…hat?…fascinator?...chissa!
