As soon as October hits, I start to think about Christmas gifts. I am not going to do the Tesori Italiani gift catalog again, as it is tons of work. If you want me to buy/ship something from Florence to you, just send me an email.

I found this leather pouch at one of the shops. It can be attached to a handbag or luggage, or put inside a handbag. It has a key ring on it also. It comes in lots of colors and I bought the last three they had! I’m hoping that they can restock soon. It is 5″ in diameter and 1.25″ deep. The hardware is really nice. Perfect for change, lipstick or whatever.

I fell in love with these cavallino and leather shoes from one of my favorite shoe shops! They are nearly sold out. The supply chain here in Florence is still not good, and most stores are low on merchandise.

Luckily, the goldsmith has lots of beautiful jewelry available. One of my shopping clients bought this gorgeous ring last week.

These lovely earrings were made for a client who shopped with me a few years ago. We communicated by email to arrange the purchase. Beautiful Florentine pattern!

All the shopping makes me hungry… Here is a photo of the five euro pizza I get just a block from my apartment. Yummy!

Think I will have this for lunch today!
