Casa e Cose

Just look at it – I would feel so much at home here. Why? Becuase of all the memoriabilia, the mix of materials and textures, the few colors that keep it all together and gives harmony, the light and the high ceilings, the garden oh the garden and all the fresh flowers everywhere! I must go out and buy fresh flowers….

I had a great time at the beach all saturday just playing with my son, relaxing in the sand, having lunch at a chiringuito and today we went to see eagles up in the montain – what grace…

So vacation is soo over and im soo back to work…but i wanted to share with you             some of the moments we have to keep for rainy days in november.

The pool with the palm trees looking over the bay near Castelmar del Golfo.

So perfect and so quite. This was were we stayed the first week.  We had a little house were we has breakfast on the veranda and where we played cards and had some wine in the evenings. Not to exciting but very relaxing and I think that was what i needed.

Then we had food food food…I gained about 3 kg but hey that happens when your in Italy.

Pasta con pesce spada, pasta con alice, pasta a la norma, cannoli, granita a la mandorla, paste de mandorla, risotta a frutti di mare e vino tanto vino!

We went to this perfect little village called ERICE up up on a montain. Stunning. But the best part was the little sweets they made out of almond paste….yummi!

This island has been influenced by so many different cultures. The food combinations are excellent and rich and the variation of architecture is fantastic. Especially the arab influence.

Of course we want to the beach too…we found after walking up and down on stony little hikes small white beaches with turquoise water. From the boat trip we took one day we saw pieces of heaven…

There was also a lot of freesbie ( how do you spell that .. )going on.

I can lay in the shadow and read a good book on the beach but I cant just lay there under the sun.. I have to do something. Swim or play.

Like with this toy shark we all came to love See below…a rare photo of the 2 of us together. Happy family on vacation!After a week on one side of the island we headed for Taormina and its splendour. We hit it of perfectly. Having our friends with us we went for lunches on the beach, barbecuing and dining and wine..ing. Lovely memories..

Kaffe Fassett! I saw an exhibition with him a couple of years back in Stockholm. My jaw just dropped and I walked around in awe for hours. What an amazing and versatile artist! Never seen anything like it. Really i dont know how he does it…I just dont get it. I take of my hat ( if I had one ) for him!

I wish you all had a chance to see his work  – even if you your not into needlepoint nor quilting nor mosaic or painting and knitting im sure you can still appreciate the beauty and time he is putting down on each piece. I mean, my dad who is not that much into needle point still thought this guy rocks! ( not his exact words but…)

So please visit his website and let me know what you think! Just consider this: he has had an exhibition at V&A…
