Buongiorno!!!! We are home. Exhausted but home. I could fill volumes but instead, I will let the pictures tell the story.
And some smocking too! Saw this sweet dress in a shop window in Venice. Sadly I didn't see any anywhere else. I may have to copy this precious little dress.
Hopefully tonight my body clock will realize I am stateside. Until tomorrow faithful reader.
YES!! Copy the dress.....Evamarie needs an Italy Dress. It is so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I hope to get back to Italy one day....selfish, I know. Such a beautiful world you have seen! Incredible.
Welcome home, Martha! A few of those photos remind me of an episode of "Raymond" in which the crazy family spent a vacation in Italy! Did you have an audience with the Pope?
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos! My mom and I went way back in '89 and seeing your photos brings back so many memories. I hope you caption some of them when you get readjusted to your time zone.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are amazing. Can't wait to see your interpretation of this little smocked dress. I wonder how much it cost, just my curiosity.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos, Martha! You just went on my favorite vacation that we took back in the 2006's...didn't own a digital camera then :*(
ReplyDeleteI remember making wishes & tossing coins in the Fountain of Tivoli, marveling at the Pietà , (so glad that idiot didn't destroy it completely), the beautiful Amalfi coastline and the spectacular St. Peter's Basilica! I know you had the time of your life seeing the Pope. My husband still talks about it.
Hopefully, you can get some sleep & turned around to tell us all about it.
♥ ♥ ♥ that you saw a smocked dress in the window...how appropriate! :D
So glad you're back Martha! Looks like you had a wonderful time and great weather. The last time we were there was about 10 years ago and your pictures made me wish I was there again! LOVE that dress too and YES, you should copy that!! I am curious too, like Bunny what a dress like that would cost there!
ReplyDeleteOh I think that dress is an easy copy... I bet yours will look better. Hope you get that internal clock working. I have missed knowing your face was in the US. Rac and I were discussing your arrival/departure the other day as we were missing us some Martha.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Marths !!! Great pics. You were missed !!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home Martha! What a wonderful trip you had, and I know you cherish your Papal blessings! Brings back memories of my only time in Rome...1965...LOL Saw the Pope [Paul?] 4 times that trip. ANYWAY...love the dress and I expect we will see many variations on it from your talented fingers!
ReplyDeleteHello Martha,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip you have had ! Love your pictures, thanks for the virtual tour
