Summer harvest...

A little harvest from the cloisters of my workplace...

















...one of the fruit tree...

















...back to the garden for some arrangements...

















...fresh fruits...

















...mint, thym, sage, rosemary...

















...and lavander...for a scented bouquet!

Beach days after work...still too lazy for decorative projects!
Enjoy beautiful Summer days!

Refreshing projects!

Just few ice decorations for these hot and lazy days...
















...flowers...

















...and herbs from the garden...

















...they last just for a while...

















...just the time of taking some photos!

A nice Summer week end to you all!

Garden flowers and award!

Despite the infernal heat of the past weeks....

















...my flowers are more alive than me...

















...I can stay in the garden just in the evening when the air is a little but fresher...

















...and I can enjoy these shy survivors...

















...waiting for cooler days...













...a nice surprise from my friend Cathy...she is an Australian girl living in Italy and she shares nice stories about her life. Thanks Cathy for thinking of me!!!

Now I've to tell you 7 things about me...I've already told you many times...I'm sure you'll be bored about me, but rules are rules...

...I like suntan in Summer, but I cannot stay under the sun when it's so hot...fortunately I've dark skin and I can get it even under the shade

...I'm a traveller...unfortunately more on the web than in the real life...I often study itineraries and accomodations in places I'll never go...

...I'm a lucky girl because I've wonderful friends who share life with...

...I don't like pizza...and this's strange for an Italian...

...but I love ice-creams and not only in Summer...

...I usually think of creative projects, but during the Summer my brain is in standby and I become so lazy...

...I'm a dreamer and I don't like who wake me up|

Now I've to choose 7 bloggers for the award...but you know I never can choose only 7...so I give it to you all..old and new friends...and thank you so much for your always so nice comments!

Happy new Summer week!

Mauve...

Mauve touches for Summer days...


















...mauve is a very usuful herb for health...it's an anti-inflammatory and sedative...

















...used since antiquity for its positive effects...

















...but it's also very decorative...

















...simple flowers in glass jars to cheer up my home!

We are still boiling here! Almost 40°...very hot and very wet...not air-conditioned at work yet...the only way to survive is escaping to the beach...that's the reason why I'm not very present in the blog-world now!
For creative projects I'll have to wait a cooler time!
Thanks for your nice comments...I promise I'll be a better blogger as soon as possible!

Happy Summer week end!
