Well, not exactly IN jail….Chia is photographed in front of a cell door in Le Murate, which is across the street from our apartment. It started out as a monastery in 1424, and then became a prison for about 100 years. Now it is a compound of restaurants and apartments.

I am so excited about the new bags Fabio has made! They are small to medium size laser cut in fabulous colors.
I have never seen bags like these. So detailed, so dainty, so different!

And if that weren’t enough, the goldsmith has been dangling goodies in front of me this week…

I have decided upon a pair of Australian pearl earrings in gray wih a little diamond accent. I really, really NEEDED these!

I just love shopping here in Florence. I am doing quite a bit of “remote” shopping for my clients now too. Shoes are risky since they can be difficult to fit, but the handbags and jewelry are not!
