Just walking down the street, minding my own business, when I was accosted by beauty in Florence.  Enjoy!

As seen in a frame shop this week.  Everybody finds a way to celebrate Christmas!  So creative!

I love her stuff!

“The fantasy is like jam, it needs to be spread on a solid slice of bread.”
Italo Calvino

I believe he is absolutely correct and today I am very busy baking bread.  See you soon.

​

This is my view as I dress each a.m.  Amazing!

Very lovely.

Lovelissima!

The tree at dusk.

And in the daytime

The talented baristas in Florence’s famous coffee houses don’t bother to draw hearts or Christmas trees in the foam on the top your cap.  They are too busy for such nonsense, and anyway…

they don’t need to.  The coffee is sublime just the way they make it.

And the customers agree, scraping every drop of the liquid caffeine out of the cup.

Eat your heart out, Starbucks!
