Mamma mia, what a week. It’s been non-stop since the Italian holiday season officially ended last Sunday with the Befana.
There was a lot of running around picking out fabrics, butchering the Italian language when I met with the drapes/sofa maker, writing budgets, and following up on a million things that were put on hold before the holidays.
My siblings and in-laws asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I have a bunch of design books on my wish list. The first batch of the books arrived last week (thanks fam!). I cannot wait to dig in.

Now I just have to find the time to sit back with a ice-filled glass of Coke, some San Carlo Rustica chips and start reading.
books, icy coke & salty crunchy snacks. Heaven!
Add a sunny Sunday afternoon and it would be perfection. I may have to wait until the rainy season is over.
