SPRING! My partner is going to Italy this month. What should I ask him to bring back for me??
definitely office supplies. i was gifted some amazing notebooks, pencils, pens, fountain pen etc from italy. they just have better paper stuffs.
ooo, great idea, i love beautiful thick papers + nice leathers. pens are always risky gifts for me – i lose them on a daily basis!
So gorgeous! Last time I went to Italy I came home with fresh amaretti cookies! Divine.
cookies! that was literally the first thing i thought of! : )
best travel souvenirs ever: food. i always bring back tiny bags of potato chips for my friends from whatever country i am visiting, the flavors are always different / more delicious / awesome.
italy – food and tights!
i like your dishes. i prefer simple over fancy food.
ps. you’ve got me curious about ‘on love’. maybe he was getting a bad experience out of his system. i hope he doesn’t hate women.
yes- it might be interesting to read his early works to compare. i have heard great things about his more recent books (especially the one you are reading!), but i was kind of turned off forever after reading ‘on love.’ i found him insufferable yet i compulsively read the whole thing anyway. read it. you’ll know exactly what i mean!! : )
where in italy will he be? and YUM on the food. wow, kind of makes me hungry!
he’s going to verona and some surrounding vineyards!! he won’t be in any major cities but i’m still soooo jealous. obviously i am going to have him ship back a ton of wine. ; )
