Barilla...

I'd like to draw your attention to some new spots of Barilla, the most famous Italian pasta. They are so incredibly enchanting. Why? Because they are simple. Family, home, friends. These are important things in life. Not money or career. Don't you agree? The voice you hear in the background belongs to one of the most popular and important icon-singers of the 1960's, Mina who retreated from the public life more than 10 years ago and who refuses to come back to the public eye. She keeps writing to some magazines and, as in this case, use her voice for various occasions but never shows her face. To me, she's like a ghost.. Everyone...

Picnic in Pantalica : )

And when the time came, we found a perfect tree...and started our picnic : )We had fun and Artù had fun too. There were so many things to discover, touch, smell and bite:At...

Last weekend was about fun.

What a lovely weekend it was! The weather was truly spring-like and I loved to see that in the market yesterday in the morning (I bought some honey free of preservatives and nuts):I loved to be finally able to walk with my Italian family & friends & Artù in the woods and meadows this Sunday!As you can see Artù is growing fast. Here are some random pics I took of him last week. A dog, when tired can sleep everywhere and in many different positions:When comparing with previous pics, the crate looks smaller and smaller everyday!My...

A studio : )

I feel spring in the air! : ) I'm so happy this season is finally coming. You'd say: "Yeah, but you're in Sicily, you have summer all the time!" Well, it's just partially true. I mean the air is definitely different in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Even here : )Yesterday my Mum has inspired me with these pictures of studio-rooms. I love them all so much! You can have your little adorable studio even if you cannot dedicate the whole room or don't have a separate space for it. And they are so spring-oriented, don't you think? : )My...

Artù!!!

Today it's exactly one week since Artù is with us. It's been a tough week, especially that my bf went to Rome for 3 day conference and I was all by myself with our little puppy. Believe it or not, it's a lot of work with 2 month old Lab! Especially if you want to teach him discipline, order and obedience. He still has some accidents at home (you cannot imagine how often this little creature has to relieve himself!) Anyway, it's going quite well. I'm going to show you the first tricks of Artù:Plus some pics.First ride in Toyota Yaris...

Oscars!

I'm so happy Avatar didn't make it in the end! Yeah! : ) I'm sorry all these bloggers who trully heart this movie. Well, I'm not one of you. Instead, I'm so happy for James Cameron's ex-wife, who totally pulled it off! I saw The Heart Locker and didn't find it brilliant but I'm happy that it was finally woman who won Oscar for the best movie and directing. You rock, Kathryn! : )BUT the most spectacular was Oscar for Sandra (Bullock), I loved her so much in "The Blind Side". She proved she's not just a good comedy actress but also a wonderful...

Artù. The first day : )

Thank you so much for your comments and support : ) Here are the pics from yesterday evening and today morning : ) I must say I was extremely surprised about Artu's behaviour this night. He was very calm and slept the whole night long until 6. Then he wanted to play (of course!) : ) Now he is sleeping on his new black cushion that you can see below : )I'm happy : )Here with Virginia: the owner of the Lab...
