Travelogue Tuesday: Florence Streets

 Movers! Things from the top floors come down on a little elevator.

I think these photos give a real sense of what it's like to walk down the streets of this medieval/Renaissance city...close your eyes and you might imagine seeing Michelangelo striding down the street towards you carrying his tools. Amazing...

By the way, "Travelogue Thursday" is now "Travelogue Tuesday"--Thursday is date night, so not the best time to try to do a more intense blog post.

Lavender Love

Breathe deep...ahhh...

This is not my garden (though my front yard USED to look like this!). I will always and forever adore lavender, in all its forms and shapes.

Tallulah-Palooza Friday

The many faces of Mae. Silly silly girl!

Petite Pomegranates

Ladies and gentlemen, we have fruit! Two little growing pomegranates. Yippee! Go, tree, go!

Wallpaper Heaven

Well, I just MIGHT have purchased about 300 piece of wallpaper on Friday. Um, yes, yes I DID! And it is all kinds of FABULOUS! I'm a paper freak anyway, and these are just glorious. There are some duplications, but not many. Glorious.

What am I going to do with it, you ask? I will do my best not to hoard it (though that is my inclination with paper). Most of it will go into my Etsy shop...stay tuned, paper lovers!

Sizzling Swizzles

So, I recently acquired a LARGE bunch of super-cool vintage swizzle sticks, of all shapes and sizes. Here are a few for your delectation (this is only a small sampling, by the way...). I love them--things used to be much cooler, didn't they?

(Some are already listed in my Etsy shop, Betty and Dot, with the others to come soon.)

Blue Blue Berries

A blueberry right off of the bush is a different reality. So good!
