my passport.
Let me tell you that it is quite an experience every time I have to go to
the Italian Consulate.
the Italian Consulate.
We spent a couple of hours shopping for fabric, chatting and scoffing
delicious orchid tea and french macaroons in a Japanese tea room in Soho.

The back entrance of Liberty from Carnaby Street
has been decorated in tana lawn.
The sales assistant that cuts the fabric
has never changed in ten years I shop there.

To Elisabeth: No way, not this time...we are going to Egypt for a proper holiday!
To girl ferment: I don't remember the name of the japanese tea room... it could be that one :)
oh I saw that "rose house" when I was in London... I even post it on my blog... it's so pretty!
I am glad everything worked out fine!*
What a beautiful blog you have. I found you through Ritva's blog today. Looking forward to seeing more lovely post... :^)
ps. Italian Consulates are pure madness - I had my share of frustrations here at the one in SF...though sometimes it can be amusing too.
wow, real macaroons! They look so so god. What a great day! I'd love to go to Liberties, but I'm somehow a bit too scared
*good, sorry, not god!
to Louise: miss a vowel and see what happens!
I can understand that, Liberty can be a bit daunting, because of the prices and because of the architecture but trust me, go at least once and you will see that is a very special place, even the smell is divine...
fancy join us nxt time?

I love how they decorated that Liberty building! I have very vague memories of the Italian Consulate in Ldn, but I have very clear ones of the US Embassy in Italy!
