special gifts.

before "packing time" starts, I want to share with you something special.

✻ Silja, Jacopo's mam, gave me this beautifully illustrated book, which belonged to her and inspired her when she was young.

✻ a lovely best wishing card from Jacopo's brother Matteo.

✻ my dear friend Sylvie gifted me with this beauty: I know she got it in one of my favourite shops of all time in Milano.

✻ my Emi found this soft and beautifully decorated scarf especially for me.

Jacopo and I went around riding his Vespa once again before the departing: he took me to a new place, a just built botanical garden close to my house; I am going to see it inside as soon as I come back to Milano for a visit.
