Oh today was a day to snuggle on the couch and dream of distant lands. And as I settled down to watch Letters to Juliet, my mind wandered from the movie and seemed to just focus on the beauty of Italy. Truly believing that I am an Italian trapped in a Canadian body with Scottish and Swedish Ancestral roots, I imagined myself walking down cobblestone lanes in a wispy flowing dress wearing beautiful little sandals with my long tresses gently flowing down my back with a golden sunlit hue surrounding my angelic face. In reality, you wouldn't catch me dead in a dress due to my short and stumpy legs and my long tresses are more like a Chia Pet gone wrong (thank you humidity) and I am pretty sure I haven't had an angelic moment in my entire life, not to mention that most likely I would stumble on those stinkin cobblestones and do a face plant. And while falling to the ground, I would probably flash some poor unexpected Italian man with my granny panties. Oh yes, I will take daydreams over reality any day of the week!
In the meantime, I am just happy to have this little piece of Italy found on my holidays within in my own Province... Sometimes, you don't have to go far to find what your heart desires!
This week I am sharing my daydreams with
Seasonal Sundays and I thank the Tablescaper
for hosting same.
Happy Weekend to you all!
Until Next Time.

This post really had me going. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I can just imagine it. For a minute you had even me going, with the cobblestones, the flowing dress and the long tresses moving with the warm sunny breeze. I got a little homesick.....
ReplyDeleteThat picture is gorgeous! And you make me laugh. Lol! I was totally picturing your daydream then, all of a sudden, I was picturing the cobblestones. Hahaha!! So vivid. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my...I'm laughing out loud! I can just see the granny panties shining in the sunlight...as this is just what would happen to me:) Loving your header and the goddess sculpture! Take care my friend!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos--I watched Letters to Juliet this weekend, too. Be sure to watch all of the special features--the scenery is breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice day-dreamin'! Lovin' your new header (sorry if I didn't notice it sooner, but it looks great!).
ReplyDeletelove the photos....Oh, I wish I could just transplant all that lavender into my back yard. I'm sure with a little squinting, my yard would look just like that!

You would love Italy..And watching Letters to Juliet made my heart so happy. When they got to their last stop on the "search"..I was there. I spent time in that area..and you can see far off in the distance, one of my favorite places in Tuscany...You would love it . AND...just so you know..granny panties or no..it really is just like that...long flowing dresses/skirts, little sandals, hair gently blowing in the breeze, and amazing scents coming from all directions, people walking around with their gelato, beautiful Italian music off in the distance, and cobble stone streets...you would so love it...truly.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for you to go.
