Pozdrav svima! Nadam se da ste ugodno proveli vikend + ponedjeljak iako je vrijeme moglo biti i bolje u ovim posljednjim danima ljeta. Moj je vikend prošao kombinirano -dućan, odmor, dragi, šetnja,ručak kod prijatelja, kavica u društvu u novom lounge baru u kvartu ,malo šivanja.. i vikend je proletio.

U naš dućan su stigli neki novi proizvodi od kojih bih vam neke ovdje voljela predstaviti. Mirišu mi na jesenski ugođaj ... i ... TOSKANU!!

Talijanske posude od lima, oslikane ručno, novi podmetači za čaše izrađeni od drveta breze s motivom crvenih jabuka, slike s motivima suncokreta, uokvirene replike starih karata i stolnjaci toplih jesenskih nijansi samo su neki od proizvoda koji mi misli nose prema prelijepoj talijanskoj Toskani. Prošlo je mnogo godina od kad sam bila tamo i sjećanja su sve bljeđa, tako da Željko(moj životni i poslovni partner) i ja već dugo planiramo ponovni posjet. A do tada me on uredno opskrbljuje svakom novom knjigom Frances Mayes. Američka spisateljica i pjesnikinja Frances Mayes s svojim suprugom Edom kupila je prije 20 godina kuću u Italiji i o toj je pustolovini napisala bestseler "Pod suncem Toskane", kao i kasnije njen nastavak "Bella Toscana:Slatki život u Italiji". Najnoviji je nastavak "Every Day in Tuscany". Čitam dugo, polako, uživam u prizorima, okusima, mirisima... jer ako volite talijanski "slatki život" onda je ova knjiga prebogato nalazište. Preporučam!!! Da bi slike bile još vjernije posjetite blog gospođe Frances Mayes..na njenoj stranici http://www.francesmayesbooks.com.
