Rainy weekend



Two rainy days on end are a loooong time  and, probably, I wouldn't have gone out, 

Gattinoni-Hogan


since, with very low temperatures and my warm clothes already put away, 
I didn't know what to wear 


But I had to withdraw a pair of my favourite shoes which I had taken to repair.
And so, made up my mind and went out.


It was worthwhile since, in a shop, I saw a copper bracelet that matched nicely to my rings. Of course, I immediately bought it! 
( but I swear ... only paid 9€ for It! )


And wore it right away!


Three more ( red ) things made my day:
a beautiful rose which was about to bloom

 

a mill ( in the center of Turin!?! ) which reminded me a dear friend
 

and a funny, but very gracious, dancer!


At last I reached the shoemaker
 ( I have to confess that I had never seen such a tidy workshop! )


p.s.
My babies are again at home now !!
:-)

    Sorry to hear you had a rainy weekend, but I have to say I love your beautiful coat! I've never seen such a nice and tidy shoemaker's workshop either. It's just fabulous. xxx

      We had a very bad weather during the weekend. When I heard the forecast I couldn't believe that temperatures would have dropped that way!! Horrible, simply horrible in May!!

    Such a fun post! First off, love that coat! Perfect to cheer you up on a gloomy, rainy day. The bracelet is lovely too, I can see why you had to have it. And yes, that is one tidy shop! I got a chuckle out of the bags awaiting retrieval from their owners. Glad you have your shoes back. :)

      Funny place the shoemaker workshop! The bags are all alike and have an identical pale green ticket with the owner's name of the shoes ... I wish I had the same tidiness at home!!! :-)

    I know that feeling of wanting to hole up when the weather's not cooperating! But with a coat like that---you should be out showing it off every day----wowza!!
    And that bracelet was such a great deal---it made the trip worthwhile!!

    Oh yes your favourite shoes!! They go with any outfit. The white (cream?) ones you were wearing (in the rain???) are cute too. And I love your coat. Such a fun and happy coat.

      The colour and shape of my pumps make them really perfect with everything.
      As I was afraid that they couldn't be repaired, I went to Turin to give then the last chance! Luckily, the (luxury) shoemaker did a good job!!
      The shoes that I am wearing are patent leather and so, despite the cream colour are ok also in the
      rain. I think I really have a pair of shoes for every weather!!!

      You would like Turin also in real probably.It is an old city but interesting. It has an industrial past owed to the presence of the automobile factory Fiat and a new born touristic vocation. Besides it is rich of historic memories from the Roman Empire. A fantastic Egiptian Museum which is the second for importance in the world, the Holy Shroud, the old royal buildings and a stunning museum
      dedicated to the history of the Cinema are some of the interesting places which a tourist can visit ...
      From my words and through my eye you can surely understand how much I love the city !!

    Love your raincoat! A little bit of rain freshens everything up and makes us appreciate the sun even more.

    My husband was drooling over those shoes.

    You're right dan, that's the tidiest workshop I have ever seen! The owner/shopkeeper must be obsessive-compulsive. Hahaha. I love your blue trousers. Happy for you, your babies are back :)

    Dan, I love that floral raincoat. It's perfect for cheering up a dull day. Oh, and I loved the sneaky view of the cobblers - those men's two tone brogues are wonderful - I would buy these if they were women's!
