Scent of flowers

Capuccino, a slice of carrot cake, my brand new books and scent of flowers...
My best friend Gaia gave me this lovely little bouquet of flowers yesterday. She was waiting me after work, just outside my office, she has been soo sweet.
She's one of the most important person in my life, she's sweet, she's cute, unselfish, a true friend, someone who understand me in a while without speaking. We have same tastes, same ideals, we're just as two sisters.
My new books arrived yesterday, they're a good reading in this cold morning.
Below few pics that I just took for you...
from "Junk Style"

I wish you a wonderful weekend.

I can't believe but I ordered quite the same books from Amazon...Now I envy you verrry much! I know how it feels to have friends like yours, this evening my wonderful friends come from Parma to share a pizza with me, facing bravely yesterday's snow... I love them!! Have a nice weekend. Ciao

La tua amica è stata davvero un tesoro a regalarti questi fiori, sopra il tuo tavolo stanno d'incanto! Ora prendo nota dei libri non saprei quale scegliere. Brava, le foto sono perfette! Buon week end anche a te, io lo trascorrerò sistemando la mia craft room, ieri abbiamo fatto mettere il pavimento nuovo in legno ed ora devo rimettere tutto sopra... una faticata, speriamo nel risultato!
Baci,
Silvia

kikka said...

Ah finalmente posso lasciare un commento!!la mia tastiera x alcune ore ha deciso di fare i capricci!Volevo rimediare al post "Things I love" dove nn ho lasciato alcun accenno alla tua CASA...SEMPLICEMENTE BELLISSIMA!
E poi un complimento a Gaia:i piccoli gesti fatti con il cuore sn i migliori!Capisco benissimo quando parli della vostra amicizia...io ho la fortuna di avere una migliore amica davvero fantastica...mia sorella:la nostra telepatia,a volte,ci lascia ancora incredule...io finisco le sue frasi,io dico una cosa e lei mi dice che stava pensando la stessa cosa in quel preciso istante,...
Buon wend a te e buona serata!
Ps.hai visto le foto del matrimonio?...ke ne pensi?Il cake topper è di una scultrice di San Francisco...ed ora regna sovrano nel nostro soggiorno!Baci,Frà

These sorts of books, with all of their pretty photos are the reason that I can't seem to settle on just one look for our home... There are too many things that I find pretty!
Have a lovely weekend,

The most important thing in life are friends! I'm happy for you that you have such a great friend.

There you have grudged you pretty much fun to read all at once. "Junkstyle" was really up on my couch and I always like to rummage in it again. If I look at the other books on recommendations, which must-have.

Dear greetings from the very cold Germany

FEDERICA said...

Caro/a anonimo/a,
chissà perchè quando si devono lasciare commenti acidi non ci si firma mai...
So perfettamente che il mio inglese non è ottimo ma piuttosto maccheronico, ma nonostante ciò riesco a farmi capire da tutti e ad essere seguita da persone di nazionalità diverse.

fiore_labs said...

che meraviglia di fiori.. che meraviglia di libri!
un bacione

Zink & Klaverblad said...

I´m an interior-book-addict as well and do have these ones... :)
I think it´s the only thing I really ´collect´ (no clothes, no shoes, no jewelry), so that´s ok for my husband!! :D
Have a good day!

Something White said...

I´m an interior-book-addict as well and since it´s the only thing I really ´collect´ my husband agrees every time I order a new book, haha! For me no jewelry, no clothes, no shoes... but books! :)
Have a good day!

Federica said...

parlando di tulipani..... :) come ho appena scritto nel commento al post sopra-sopra adoro i tulipani, sono i miei fiori preferiti e questo mix di giacinti, narcisi e tulipani colorati é uno splendore! il fatto poi che te lo abbia regalato la tua amica.. wow che gesto dolcissimo! valgono doppio, anzi triplo solo per quello! ottima scelta per i libri e grazie per averceli fatti sbirciare ;) baci fede

Little Emma said...

Ciao Fede, allora com'erano i libri? Avevo intenzione di comprare anch'io Simply Country e At home with White però dalle foto su amazon non riesco a capire se valgono la pena. Tu che dici????

iva yaneva said...

Aw, the flowers look so pretty! The first thing that comes to my mind when I see them is Spring! :)
I also love your selection of books, they all look very intriguing. Definitely must check them out! :)
