We couldn't help but feel like Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in the classic 1955 movie "To catch a thief"
Sure they were in the French Riviera
and we were careening around the hills of Tuscany
The sights, the sounds, the food all conspire to make one feel Italian or even Grace Kelly for at least a little while
Dining on the coast
Simple, elegant meals. How do they take a few simple ingredients,
flour, tomato, cheese and sea salt and turn it into a mouthwatering feast!
Oh yes, The Italians have it!
Whether it's jewelry, fashion, furniture or the Fiat!
This quiet spot in the Hotel was so beautiful.
The chandelier took my breath away.
The fireplace and draperies pulled elegantly to the side.
soft and lovely
We saw the most amazing lighting everywhere we went.
This piece is so much fun!
Oh Santa please?
A wall of greenery as fresh as spring
The shapes and curves of Italian furnishings provide
inspiration to take back home.
inspiration to take back home.
Design Statements everywhere provide a feast for the eyes
A wonderful blend of old world and new world
Ancient frescoes rest quietly above a wedding just outside
What a lovely spot for a celebration!
These draperies were as light as air, billowy and full
Though it's holiday season here, I'm dreaming of the lights of the Italian Coast.
Oh yes, the Italians have it!
