Christmas shopping!

This year, it's not a good Christmas time for shopping!!!
It's really a bad period, less job and therefore less money,
but it's not easy to give up shopping for Christmas presents.

Presents are a nice way to show you love your friends and relatives.
I don't like to do presents only for the regular anniversaries like birthdays or festivities..I mean I do , I like to do..but I really like to buy presents also on other days, when people don't expect them.
I like surprises...so it makes me a little sad when someone...and my mom for example still does , asks me "What do you like for your birthday .or Christmas" for example??
My answer: I don't know..I like the sursprise...! It's a risk, but the baby inside of me still likes sursprises...

I still remember when I was six, and my mammy resisted...till the early morning of my birthday (St. Lucy's day) to give me her present: a wonderful collection of colors....to draw and paint!!! I was really happy..
Today my mom give me money and tell me " please buy whatever you like and need..."
She did. last week. as well
and I 'm buying a pair of nice shoes or black boots!

This is my Christmas Tree at home!
Solo piccoli pensierini for friend, relatives, nieces and nephiewes
Some examples..some ideas?
good chocolate from Modica with chili vanilla or pistachos flavours
moscato wine
wild fennel cream
cherry tomato paste for bruschetta
a lovely calendar made of 12 bookmarks
an hand painted calendar
and somethingelse I still have to buy..
A few days ago, Tv news said that this year in Italy there's a great demand for eno-gastronomic presents!
Why not!

little good things at a reasonable price but with great love from me for all of them.

vi voglio bene..

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth century farmhouse, once property of the Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever what rigorously the family produce and cook for you! Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun.... an extraordinary view from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com

Back to school!

I'm exausted! In these days students are coming back to school In a book shop I saw this lovely school agenda...( Il Diario ) TO choose the new diario was a nice thing to do with my friends. Everybody, among girls, was curios to see the others' agenda and then, through the school year fill it with drawings, puzzles of photoes, phrases, songs ...and homework (sometimes) as well. If I were still at school, i think this would be my agenda!!!
