…gifts from Italy…
still trying to catch up on thank you’s here in blogland…
the lovely and talented Gio from Roma surprised me recently with some handmade treasures…
I plan to take the gorgeous fabric covered notebook with me on our upcoming trip to California…
I had admired Gio’s delicate domino book (approx 1.5 x .75 inches…3.81 x 1.90 cm) long before I knew it was meant for me…
precious details both front and back…
even a lovely black swan…
she pinned a very fine assortment of charms onto a fancy pin for me to play with too!
***molte molte grazie caro Gio***
