My First Guest Blogger...

I am just going to re-direct you all to my girlfriend's blog up in Piemonte.  Today's post is so well written and thought provoking, I can't help but share it:

MIA once again...

I keep disappearing. I have so many ideas, thoughts and ideas to share, but work and everyday life has become quite overwhelming. Complaining will do nothing to change it, so best not to go too far down that road.

Summer has come and gone. (It even rained today, hard, for the first time in 3 months.) The onslaught of fall clients is in full swing. Between now and the end of October, my blogs will be few and far between. But I will be back, promise...

Saying goodbye to Palmaria Island until next summer...

Is It Lovely???

My friend, Paula, gave me this wonderful piece of art made in her village of Monterosso.  I had been looking for something very "sea-like" to hang on our wall (in the ever evolving "best dump in Liguria" as we like to call it) and she knew just the thing!  

Paula's husband, Angelo, is a 10th generation anchovy fisherman who worked often with my husband's grandfather and great seafood merchant, the original Luigi Guerrera.  All of lives seems to revolve around the sea.  Her present was perfect in ever way!

Grazie my friend...

P.S. If you like what you see, you can visit FABBRICA D'ARTE MONTEROSSO in Monterosso.  Maybe they can make something special for you.
