cake in Italy ...

views of vacation




Rome was: So much.
More of everything that i had
imagined.

amusing (bird on a knee)
and beautiful, (detail, scale, Beauty)
all at once.






there seem to be no
"action photos" of me

waiting in airports.
This means no knitting photos.
There wasn't too much knitting going on
for my Italian getaway.

it's about dancing and shoes this time


do you watch Glee on television ?

i do not.
However, a very special person
has encouraged me to watch . . .
and i caught a few moments of this week's
episode.
and . . .
you can catch yourself up with this blogpost from the
NewYorkTimes (click here for link)

So: if you caught the beginning
of the episode,
there was a dance scene & one of the
girls was wearing a pear of Jean Fluevog
"Mini Zaza" shoes.
Here is the link
ultra cute shoes with a creamy strap,
inspired by spats.
did you go to the link to see them?
