She's italian , from Padova, she's a dreamer, she likes beautiful things but who doesn't!

She has a pragmatic job and her blog is her getaway from real life!

Enjoy!!!



Hi Ladies!
Today I'm beyond excited to be here, guest posting at Gaia! I'm rather nervous to be honest..
I think the easiest way to break the ice is introducing myself? I'm Flaviana, I'm 35 I live in Padova -not so far from Bologna - and I'm an interior addict, really!
Ever since I moved into my house last September I've been moving and changing and replacing things all the time :-)
The latest addiction are the ciel-de-lit I bought for the two bedrooms ..Choosing the color of the curtains was, needless to say, a major issue !In the end I opted for white lace in one room and pale beige tulle in the other -works are still in progress though!

Another thing I'm really crazy about is treasure hunting at flea markets .. well, who doesn't ?! I buy everything that takes my fancy
A couple of weeks ago I found this very ancient monogrammed towel; at least I've been told it's a towel. The vendor told me it was part of an entire 1920 trousseau, never used .. I wonder what happened to the lady who owned this? She probably never married otherwise she would have used it? That's what I like about vintage stuff, there's always a story behind it .. a story I can imagine or fantasize about..

Now I have to decide where to use it.. as a table runner or as a throw?


Oh yes.. I was forgetting enamel pots ! That's the last piece of my slowly-growing collection.. a milk pot, it's a bit rusty I know but isn't it cute?


and old opera booklets

Another thing I really enjoy is having people around for dinner or breakfast.. or tea!

Dressing the table and choosing the right tablecloth is a bit like playing house..don't you think?



Flowers are a must!There's a problem though.. they don't last and after a day they start shedding leaves or petals, that really drive me nuts ! Am I normal???



Oh one more thing: cards.. Yes, I'm an old fashioned girl and like to thank my friends for invites or gift with a thank you note! I know email is simpler and quicker but nothing beats the pleasure of receiving a handwritten ,beautiful card like these ones ,made especially by my friend Carol!

so.. for whoever was so kind to stop by today and read me blabbing...thank you, with a virtual, lovely, crispy thankyou card!
