#1. This dish belonged to my Great Aunt Daisy (aka Lupa). It is a numbered piece from Italy. The chocolate eggs were handmade by another friend, Claudia. There are at least 5 flavors. Each one is better than the next but my favorite is peanut butter followed closely by coconut.
#2. My favorite vase with an Easter arrangement.
#3. Two porcelain eggs that were crafted by my friend’s mother, Ida. She was an art teacher many years ago. She continued to paint, sculpt & garden into old age. They look good enough to eat, don’t they?
Buona Pasqua!

As the saying goes: “A picture is worth 1,000 words”. I will explain my picture in less!
1. I purchased this Murano vase on sale. It was a great find. Each week I make a different flower arrangement to complement the colors in the vase.
2. Brunello wine — smells as good as it tastes!!
3. This wine glass is one in a set of 6 each a different colors — a gift from me to me for my birthday.
4. Parmigiano reggiano cheese is such a strong taste, the grapes & the figs are a fantastic offset to it…of course the vino also helps!!
Mangia!

Translated from Italian, “Mia Cose Favorite” means “My Favorite Things”. Here’s a few of my favorite things that I just can’t live without:
1. Asiatic lilies from Trader Joe’s. Their fragrance encompasses the whole room!
2. Ceramic vase by Jonathan Adler. I love his gorgeous colors & mod patterns. Next on my wishlist? Something from the Utopia collection.
3. White Birds & Branches picture frame from Paper Source. Pretty soon this photo of me with my fiancé will be replaced with a wedding photo! (We’re getting hitched in June!)
4. Vintage magazine clutch. MamamiaRita has always been ahead of her time when it comes to fashion. She gave me this purse when I was a little girl. Back then I carried markers, small notepads and little treasures that I found. Now I carry a cell phone, business cards, lip gloss and keys.
5. Tape Runner XL from Paper Source. Whether I’m assembling a DIY project or wrapping a gift, this double-sided trusty tape is quite handy to have around.
6. Heart & Arrow plate from BHLDN. This sweet ceramic plate resides next to my sink and holds my ring when I wash my hands.
