Ponytail and... a lot to do!

I have always admired those women who can keep their hair in order when they are at the seaside...I simply can't!

And so, sooner or later, for me comes the time to tie it back in a ponytail. That is the last thing I can do in order to keep it under control!

I am wearing a cotton dress which is a very pale shade of green and has a floral pattern.

The flowers are not printed and looking at the inside of my dress you can see the different colours of threads( Laviniaturra ).

I wear it with my coral-paste earrings, a carnelian  and bamboo-coral necklace,

which you can  better see in this photo with an etnic coral and silver ring. As usual, I made the necklace myself.

With my hair tied, and my jewelry on, I spend my  afternoons  in the old village of Airole ( which is only ten km. from the sea )

 where Mr. Bangio enjoys the  breeze in the old alleys, and spends his time sniffing here and there...

 I like  the silence ( but cicadas make a lot of noise! )

and the old houses,

I like the hot sun among the lemon trees...

I love to spend quiet days in the Mediterranean atmoshere, and to find beads to make necklaces.
And, as you can see ... I have a lot of work to do!! ( and I will show you the results... )
