Knitted scarf and hat

This is the outcome of my first attempt to create a scarf & hat set knitting, and I felt confident enough to create it as a Christmas gift for a very close friend of mine. I have to say I'm rather proud of it, and of myself indeed. I think I'm going to knit more and more, I'll keep posting my results here in my blog, and of course I'll welcome any suggestion you would like to share.

Passion or addiction? coffeeeeeeeeee

I'm back to the web!

I've been far from the keyboard for so long that it seems to me I've been posting my latest post a life ago.
And I have to tell that it is not so far from the reality...
Last March, on the third, a new life came to brighten up our family: I gave birth to Livia, a little sunshine that kept me really busy so far.
I know that there is a controversial discussion on posting pics of babies on the web, but I really cannot hold myself as I'm a proud mama of two, So here you are Matteo and Livia.

This is one of hte first pic I took of them, now she' 7 months old, and he's 3 year old.

I'm sure all of you that have a child know the happiness that a pic like this can mean, and for whom that are not parents yet...I wish you all you can try this joy sooner or later in life!

Now it's time to go back to my  etsy shop, this blog and maybe some more projects I've been thinking about in the last months! Staay tuned!

Missing summer - as usual!

It has been a while since I last wrote a post, but a lot of things happened in my life recently. I'm back with the most tender pic of this summer: Matteo's tiny feet wearing my flip-flops.
This autumn is amazing: pink, red and
golden leaves and shiny sun, but I still miss summer, as I do every year!!

Vintage green hole puch

I'm back since a lot....finally!!
I found the time to take care of my etsy shop and my blog, if also in a rush. I'd like to share with you the newest entry in my shop, a gorgeous green hole punch. I really would like to have a place in my house where to place a vintage desk, supplied with vintage stationery tools like this and rubber stamp set also in my shop. not having such place I prefere to sell them, hoping that someone is able to enjoy them! Let's have a look!

Those stamps...

Aren't they lovely? it is a plesure to find envelopes like these in my mailbox.

Non sono bellissimi? Adoro trovare queste buste nella mia cassetta della posta.

Cacti blossom

Due piccoli cactus ''a palla'' e tre favolosi fiori bianchi: ecco la fioritura annuale più incredibile del mio piccolo balcone!

Fiori effimeri, di breve durata, fotografati al volo col cellulare, la mattina appena sveglia. Al rientro, per pranzo, stavano già sfiorendo.

Meravigliosi, soprattutto quando appaiono ''riempiti di luce'', come nella prima di queste tre foto.

Ci rivedremo l'anno prossimo, fiorellini!

Two small ''bal'' cacti, and three gorgeous withe flowers: here's the yearly amazing bloosom in my tiny balcony.

Ephemeral flowers: they just leasted few hours, but so beautiful, expecially when ''filled'' by the sunlight, like in the first pic above.

See you next year, lovely flowers!

New amazing listings in the shop: ring boxes

Look at those beauties: perfect to propose and then to carry rings during the weeding!

Dry phalenopsys flowers

there's something in dry flowers that attracts me a lot, and I found the perfect way to keep them and their appeal: glass holders, another passion of mine. look at this pic to see what I mean.
