An eye for detail - Italy part 2

I can go to any place in general and all I look at are the little details. I've been wondering about that lately, what's up with that? But hey, maybe that's just me.

How long was I staring at these cute boxes?

Well...quite some time to be honest.

Ah, and the Italians and leather...

My sister had to drag me away from this Italian vintage jewellery shop.

Sadly, it was closed, I had to take the picture from outside the window.

This shop was 'so vintage', the prices were still in Italian Lire instead of Euro.

And I saw many irresistible shopwindows:

This is not a painting...it's a bakery.

Why I felt at home - Italy part 1

Well, I don’t know where to start! Italy was lovely: sun, stunning views, excellent food & wine…I miss it already!

But I’m not going to bore you with typical holiday stories! No, let’s get into the details of things! I found so many lovely little trinkets all over the place… And I’ve been such a good girl (as you may have noticed, I’m a bit of a shopaholic), because I hardly bought any of them. I did take pictures though.

I love the way some Italian brands hold on to original packaging… who needs boring products when you can have this?

Ok, ok, this I did buy: Roberts Rose water. And I must say I love the effect the rose water has on my skin (you have to try it!).

I also adored these calendars...very Italian retro:

and what about these in your kitchen...

...or bathroom?

I'll move on to bags, shoes and jewellery next!
