Enchanted April in Italy



Ever seen the movie, "Enchanted April" about some British women who rent a villa in Italy to escape the dreary, wet English Spring? Well...it seemed like a brilliant idea...so I found myself taking a trip to Italy, all the way from Venice to Naples!

The luscious wysteria blooming in Portofino...
The sublime blues of the Mediterran Sea...


I felt right at home in Italy when in San Giminiano, I saw these gorgeous blue and white porcelain signs...

Some souvenirs from Italy include this Venetian Mask keychain and Millefiori items, like this medallion...
and these wonderful, other-worldly postcards(which remind me of the movie, "Eyes Wide Shut")which I edged in gold paint and matted with a red brocade ribbon...
