{11 Giovanni Raspini Charms & Co 925/000 silver Angel Pieces from Italy}

 Giovanni Raspini Charms & Co, Italy

Today I want you to get to know the upscale jewelry from→ Giovanni Raspini Charms & Co. For me it is equal in quality to→ Tiffany & Co as you will soon learn after the first purchase. The High End items below are available for purchase at→ Spectrenoir.

But, let me show you first some info about their company nestled in Tuscany, Italy in the heart of Val di Chiana, between Arezzo and Siena. They manufacture silverware since 1972.

Just click on the image to enlarge it for easy reading!
Above you also read about their markings. As of 132 AR:132 stands for their own unique marking for the silver and AR is for the Province of Arezzo and all the items I will introduce you to, do bear also the 925 marking.

Giovanni Raspini is about my age and one day I hope to meet him in person and tour his fascinating silver workshop. Italy does have a soft spot in my heart as we both worked and lived there in the Venice area... Well, it makes you at times a bit homesick for several reasons. But having access to these treasures does more than make up for that.

LUXURY LIFE

{Heirloom 1916 Thalia Orchid Narcissus & Ipheion Star Flower in Our Garden}

When the pure white Thalia Orchid Narcissus bloom, with the Ipheion Star Flowers, it is quite a show! Both bulbs are perfect for naturalizing and the Thalia Orchid Narcissus is deer resistent too! It is a late midseason 1916 heirloom and highly fragrant! Available at McLure & Zimmerman, but only in the fall of course!

One of the loveliest of all daffodils. Two or more graceful white flowers adorn each stem. The petals reflex slightly backward "like the wings of an angel." Fragrant. Heirloom 1916.

            

Herer you see both, the Thalia Orchid Narcissus and the Ipheion Star Flowers. Available as A Constellation of Blue Stars. They are close to our gazebo, which is visible in the back.

Each year there are more and more, they even appear in our lawn, outside the bulb garden. They make a very pretty ground cover as seen below. The wooden walkway is also visible for making the Garden Tour from Book an Event. In the back you also see the pond.

The little shrub with the golden leaves is a Euonymus japonicus 'Ovatus Aureus' that is grown by Pieter, from the motherplant which you can see in the previous blog: {Our Euonymus japonicus 'Ovatus Aureus' (Golden Euonymus) } ←(click it) and in the back you see our {Camellia Sinensis Tea Plant}  ←(click it) from a previous blog too.

Have a great Sunday - till next time!

{Do you have a Prunus triloba double almond?}

• Does anyone of you have such a lovely almond tree with double flowers? They look like they came off an advertisement for some French milled soap...  It is pure bliss to watch this little shrub perform with such vigor each spring. At Durio Nursery in Louisiana you were able to find them under their availability button (top left) and you will see Prunus glandulosa ‘Rosea’ (pink flowering almond) when you scroll down. They're our favorite nursery where we got numerous shrubs, vines and trees over the years. I'd like to hear from you if you have one like this, just drop me a note.

• From our bay window we can view this, starting with breakfast each morning. This photo was taken on March 15 when it was in full bloom.
