Yesterday a friend came to visit with her daughters, they brought us roses.
All my friends are so busy that sometimes months go by before we see
each other again.
each other again.
Last Saturday I went to London and had a nice walk in Marylebone,
I like that area because although is high street, it doesn't feel much like it .
Another reason why I like that area is because I'm a Sherlock Holmes' fan
and so I had a stroll around Baker Street, trying to imagine how it looked
at the time of the famous detective; even if he's a fiction character, I like
the books so much that to me almost existed in real life.
That's the power of words and books.

I went browsing at Margaret Howell, the only thing I could afford there
was a book I bought for Anita! they wrapped it nicely for me.
The book was first published in the fifties and it's about the importance of words.
That will go under the Christmas tree, along with other books.

I then went to Liberty and to the Cloth house and bought few fabrics.
Now, about the snow in my blog: yes, I know I have snow! I put it there

happy december days to you!
It was fun to see the snow here, as it snows also outside (and is very cold, yesterday morning even -20°C). Time to take all the carpets outdoors to get some fresh air (my tradition is to clean them with snow and then dust the snow away from them and afterwards to call my mother to let her know that the carpets are outside with me, as she wove them all).
Sweet all the details, Alessandra!
Warm clothes on, have a happy day!
I like very much the first photo.
Love your space dearly! Beautiful pics and creations!
Ana, it has been raining a lot here too. Sure, a bit of pretend snow cheers up!
Hanna, that shade of pink is my fav. I just can't keep away from that colour, it's such a positive colours.
Anna Emilia, -20 is something I never experienced! How nice to have such "tradition" to put up your carpet outside to clean them and then let your mum know. How special must be to have carpets woven by her!
Happy December to you all, thank you x
The red looks great with the light colours. The blue and white chrochet coaster is beautiful!
I like the snow...thank you!
It slows me down in that time of trouble.
Love the dotty fabric.... Is that cloth house? Can't have Christmas without a little built of red ;)
love these little snippets. such pretty details.
Coming to your blog I get my dose of design and color perfection. The snow is a sweet touch too.
Wish I could trip around London with you! XO
let it snow let it snow let it snow .) i love it.
Trop beau !! Et ces libertys .... hum! :-)
I spy some Liberty Mitsi print in your pile of fabrics. I love, love, love Mitsi!
Hope that you enjoyed your time in London last weekend. It was lovely to see your photos popping up on Instagram.

P.S. The snow is really sweet.
Books are really special, aren't they? As much as I love movies, they could never ever take the place of the printed word.
And I love it whenever I visit a place that I'd priorly read about in a great novel!
Also, you have my dream mug:) I've been lusting after it too for weeks now. Is it as good as I think it is?
Thank you all!
I'm the girl of 1oo lists, yes, I love Liberty fabric!:)
Blue eyed night owl, indeed, books move your imagination in a way movies will never do ( though I love cinema and watch movies too). The mug is well worth it, I've been wanted for such long time that I couldn't resist last time I saw it. It's my favourite mug, the shade of pink is perfection! Treat yourself and go for it!
