I design stuff for the web, take pictures, and ramble about my life
Buon San Valentino! We were talking about the origins of Valentine’s day at lunch so I had to look it up on Wikipedia. And I just loved this little vintage valentine. I’m imagining this is my heart. Little cherub angels getting it all spiffed up with a fresh coat of paint and patching up the [...]
Assisi is one of the day trips while staying in Spoleto, just a 30 minute drive through the green, Umbrian countryside.
