Scent of Sicily


I was waiting for something I had bought  a few days ago...
...I don't know about you, but I am always a bit anxious to receive what I buy online...


...to cut a long story short, yesterday it arrived!
 And, when I opened a little cute box, I saw a pair of delightful silver earrings made by hand in Sicily!  ( Nubia Creazione Gioielli )


Since the previous photo isn't too clear, I tell you that, on the squared volcanic stone, they painted a sicilian car which is similar to this one and  was often  used in past times to carry things


Thank you, mr. Salvo, to have given me the opportunity to wear this little piece of Sicily ( where my dad was born many years ago )


In the photos I am wearing a linen, cream colour dress ( Luisa Spagnoli ), one of my Furla bags and a pair of Ferrè sunglasses


And, by the way...tomorrow will officially start my  holidays!

    Lovely earrings. They suit you so well. And the dress is beautiful. A winner. What can I say? Every inch a lady. Have a nice summer holiday Dan.

    1. We surely have more than something in common, Greetje! If you happen to plan a journey to Italy. . .

  2. Definitely - I know just what you mean about always feeling a touch leery when you order something online. Living in (a small town in) Canada, I order the bulk of my vintage (and crafting) items from the States (and to a lesser extent, other countries such as the UK, too), because the selection is quite limited here, and tend to hound the mailbox when I'm waiting for something important to arrive. Thankfully I've not had too many parcels arrive damaged (or not at all!) over the years, but the risk is always there (but, ultimately, I think it's a risk that's worth it).

    Such a chic, fantastic ensemble - you look so very lovely, dear lady!

    1. Me too live in a small town, and I know how difficult it is to find special items! Luckily there is Torino that is very near, and Milano which is 45 minutes from Torino by train. For everything else there is internet, of course!

      Thank you Jessica, for your kind comment...

  3. Oh I run to the mailbox on a daily basis, not so much out of worry, more out of anticipation! Lovely treasures you've got in the post recently!

    1. You would have been stalking the mailman... :-) ...so funny!

      I haven't planned anything for my holidays. All I want is relax, sunbathing, and of course...blogging!

    1. Nothing really special about my holiday. The idea is to enjoy the sea, my spare time and blogging!! ( Is there anything better? )

  8. Wow, gorgeous from head to toe! That dress is stunning and the earrings are lovely...with a little sentimental value to remind you of where your father was born.
    I love cream/tan/white combos.
    Hope you have a really nice holiday, dan.

  11. Thanks Ann, I like light colours even though in summer the light tends to make them appear more clear...
