Florence

Florence, Italy... perhaps my most favorite city on Earth. My friend Jill saw these note cards when she was out shopping one day and she said that they just looked like me, so she gave them to me... just because. How thoughtful?! Thank you Jill! I studied in Florence my junior year in college and so I have always had a special place in my heart for that city. I have great memories of eating way too much gelato, hanging out in Piazza Santa Croce after class, bartering in the open air market of San Lorenzo {where I purchase my 1st pair of tall leather boots!}, and just in general being really, blissfully happy. There is something so intoxicating about Italy. The people, the food, the art, the landscape... ummm, and let's not forget about the wine.

I also have an unusual attraction to old street maps. Not exactly sure why... I've hung 7 vintage Italian city street maps in our living room. {I'll post photos soon!} For those of you that know DC, I found them at Eastern Market in Capitol Hill.

So, I just wanted to say that I love these cards. They make me happy when I look at them. Made by Papyrus.
