sterday  finally the first sunny week-end after a long and harsh winter. We took a ride to Ravello on the Amalfi Coast to see the new music auditorium...

well.. the first pitcure if of this cat taking a nap on this wooden roof perked on a steep terrace garden.

ICE PRINCESS

Winter Olympics are coming! I got inspired to create a this pair of earrings that reminds me of ice and the princess that gently and beautifully slided on ice. Of coruse as an italian my favour is Caroline Kostner and her beautifully designed costumes from Cavalli.

Murano Paper Holder

 just want to share the picture of this fabulous Murano Paper holder I bought in Venice some time ago. This is actually made with "leftover" from murrinas and other pieces of glasses and golden foil that usually hangs around a furnace.

I think it is FABOULOUS!!
