Simple Bliss

Federica Piccinini

Hello everybody! It’s Monday again…hope you had a beautiful weekend. 

I had a simple and relaxing weekend. Saturday morning I’ve bake some sweets, prepared a yummy luch for us, took some photos, and we also found the time to went to the travel agency. We have already booked our summer holidays. Destination? Formentera, Spain. Such a lovely island!

  {photos by me}
Yesterday was a sunny and hot day, and after a quick lunch I went out for a walk with my friend Gaia. We left boys at home! She has recently moved into her new home, wich is very closed to mine. I hope to be able to show you some photos of her new nest. 
What about your weekend?

And now, it’s time to announce the winner of the Gilded Bee’s packaging grab kit!

 Congratulations to Mary Jo from Trust Your Style!

    I love your pictures! you will really enjoy Formentera, it is a piece of paradise in the Mediterranean sea. You will love the incredible blue of its beaches. I would suggest a visit to the close Ibiza, to discover small amazing beaches, to go shopping or partying!

    I can't wait to see all of the pictures you take while on vacation! How nice to go to another country!!

    We had a very uneventful weekend. It rained both days so we stayed in, watched a little TV and read. I didn't bother to cook. We just ordered food in! ;-D My favorite kind of meal!!

    Hope you have a wonderful week!

    Hello Federica, beautiful lilacs. I love the colour mauve and the white. I live in Canada, and have 2 huge lilac bushes outside my diningroom window. They are still not opened. Soon maybe. Have a great week. Beverley

    Oh Federica,
    Isn't lilac beautiful ? It really tells me that Spring is here. We have lilac and double white lilac in the garden but, it is still a little chilly here in the U.K. and my lilac isn't out yet.
    How lovely that you have booked your summer holiday. Last year we went to the Amalfi coast and we are thinking of going to Le Cinque Terre this year.
    I look forward to seeing your friends home. XXXX

    Ciao, complimenti, il tuo blog è un vero piacere da sfogliare. Quando ho visto i lillà ho pensato che fosse giunto il momento di commentare. Li amo tantissimo, li ho in giardino, e mentre scrivo li ammiro dalla vetrata, bianchi e di due gradazioni di viola. Anche oggi che il tempo è grigio il tripudio di colori della primavera mette voglia di vivere! Buona giornata, Lucia
