    • Happy birthday to my main man, Chris- my favorite travel partner, cooking class buddy and wine connoisseur.
.
I won’t tell you his age but I will tell you that he’s younger than I am and I get weirdly excited about the fact that he is an even number now. 😂
.
Cheers to more adventures and riding the rollercoaster of life together. ✨🍾🎉

    • 🇮🇹 I may be biased, but these gold foil Italy maps are easily my favorite thing that’s been added to the shop this year. And I’m not a gold bling kinda gal.
.
They make me happy every time I walk by- which I think every Italy lover & map lover will totally understand! ❤️
.
Everything in the shop is 25% off until midnight mountain time- including these lovelies.
.
For reference- the Italy map is 5x7 inch and the Rome map is 8x10.

    • Happy Monday friends- I’m excited for my girl to come home from college tomorrow for the holiday and my parents will be here in a few days too.
.
We are having early Christmas with them this week, so yep- the tree is up, and I’m loving the bare tree with just the lights. So cozy!
.
What do you think about the Italian airport code pillows? I think they turned out so cute. My faves are FCO (Rome) MXP (Milan) and NAP (Napoli) because everyone always needs a NAP pillow 😂😂
.
I’m skipping Black Friday madness but am having a big sale in the shop for cyber Monday. Want the scoop? DM me your email address and I’ll send you the sale deets. xo-H
    • Happy Friday friends- Any fellow cheese lovers out there? ⠀
⠀
In my next life I’d love to be a cheesemonger, but until then I dream of going on a cheese tour of Italy with @eleonorabaldwin. ❤️⠀
⠀
I have friends who have “Fajita Friday” - let’s make “Formaggio Friday” a thing!? Who’s in? ⠀
⠀
(Maybe it’s already a thing and I’m clueless? 😂) ⠀

    • The phrase, it’s the most wonderful time of the year” is usually linked to a Christmas song - but in my mind, it means autumn in Italy.⠀
⠀
Specifically Umbria and the Olive Harvest. Thinking of my friends who are celebrating this weekend in Assisi- and remembering all the sights, smells, & tastes that the Olive Harvest brings. ⠀
Truly magical. ✨✨⠀

    • I’m supposed to be in Italy on a treasure hunt right now. 😭⠀
⠀
Last week my mom and I were due to head off on her grand Italy birthday adventure.⠀
⠀
But long story short, we had to postpone due to my knee surgery this summer. At the time, I wasn’t sure if postponing the trip was the right decision. Turns out it was.⠀
⠀
Cobblestones & hills are no match for this still recovering knee- I just started trying stairs again, and it’s not pretty! 😂⠀
⠀
But to distract myself I was thinking of writing up our 2 week itinerary & sharing it. ⠀
⠀
Interested? ⠀
⠀
I created this itinerary for mom and her interests but it would be a great adventure for anyone who likes any of the following: antiques, markets, artisan workshops & handmade crafts, gorgeous apartments and loads of vegetable based dining. ⠀
⠀
Are you into that? Let me know- I’m all ears!
