Angel season goes on and it might as well last forever...
Let's introduce this lovely Giovanni Raspini 800/000 silver Clip with 'Thinking' Angel note block. Just another lovely Giovanni Raspini Silver Desk Item from Italy, as a unique Gift!
Have a look at all their writing and desk items on my Zen Cart powered on line Boutique: Mariette's Back to Basics

Item # 1326 in a beautiful gift box as usual from Giovanni Raspini; leave that to the Italians for making a wonderful presentation of gifts.
I do recall a lovely gift shop just around the corner of our apartment, when we lived in Cornuda, Treviso.
For special and elegant gifts and for jewelry you can't live in a better country than Italy.
I certainly DO miss that at times but there are other things that are unique for Georgia/USA and we still have our authentic Italian 'Ristorante da Maria'

So much for a thinking angel, it makes me wander off to Italy myself!

This is available at my Zen Cart powered on line boutique by clicking here→ Mariette's Back to Basics, just have a look.

As usual this unique piece of silver comes in a beautiful gift box with satin lining and certificate.

{Forget-Me-Not}

Romantic Forget-Me-Not from seeds we have now and I want to share them with you in this blog.

As a little girl I loved these tiny blue flowers as they grew near the pond, that my Dad had dug. Their lovely blooms have never left my memory and I always tried to grow some. Pairing them in a vase with our roses is so beautiful.

Let me name this blog in honour of Sissi; the beloved Persian cat of a dear friend and blogger in Germany. Johanna Gehrlein and her family lost her a couple of days ago. Here her blog post: Sissi am Montag - So ist das Leben is about Sissi... post has been removed.

It is also from Johanna that I learned how to use table linens for a back drop in my photos... She used it cleverly on one of her many blogs related to her book: Rosen-Bestecke about Silver Rose Flatware.

Above you see once again a Baccarat Crystal perfume bottle that I use for such mini roses with Forget-Me-Not as a filler. The light is playing very nicely, as I took the photos inside the gazebo.

Shown on hand crocheted placemat.
 The French say it so well: Think of me...
