"Where should one use perfume?" a young woman asked. "Wherever one wants to be kissed," I said.

Family trip time.

Milano, north of Italy

Ischgl, Austria

Montefalcione, south of Italy

Off again early tomorrow morning for our summer family holiday! 

We're hitting Milan, in the north of Italy, for a few days first (still trying to find some markets there.) Then driving (Well Dad is) up to the south of Austria into the picturesque Mountains for another few days. For the final part of the trip we will be driving to the south of Italy to a beautiful village called Montefalcione, where my Grandparents live, just outside of Naples. Haven't seen them since Christmas time! I'm taking my mini Diana, so hopefully my photographs will be more successful than the last time I used it - I must learn to read instructions...

Hope you're all having a lovely summer break,
Love

Love a good rummage!

 A few photo's from the 'antiques fair' (flea market!) on the Calle Feria, Seville. There was a lot of odd bits and bobs but it was a great atmosphere, it was so busy at 8.30am!

Enjoy,

Ruby Eyed Fox Ring, Annina  Vogel £350

 I'm having a lazy Saturday and have spent my afternoon browsing Liberty's jewellery online. I found some beautiful pieces, my favourite being the fox head ring! A brooch similar to this sold at Bonhams in Chester for around £900 (if my memory serves my right)!


Also, the swallow ring looks very similar to a brooch I featured on a older post!

Court 1 - Nadal




HELLO!




We tried to get his attention but he was too focused on his game sadly.




The rain came down.




Dad and I.




Waiting for the Nadal match to  resume...




Still waiting...




waiting...




Mini cheddar eyes, he didn't come back on.



What a fun day yesterday! The three of us got up at 5.30am to queue up for tickets outside the arena, we had such a good time. The sun was shining, we had a picnic blanket and a cool bag full of strawberrys and tasty treats. We were numbers 6611, 6612 and 6613 but still managed to get in thankfully!

Towards the end of the day it started raining, sadly and the Nadal match was postponed and I also didn't suceed in setting Siobhan up with him however she did land a rather hot poster of him!

Changing the subject slightly, NEW STOCK COMING WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK! 

Have a great weekend,

Love VRAT xx

Besos

 Beautiful antique love letter, the back of the post card was from a Man writing to the amor de su vida (love of his life) in Spanish script.
