new things

I'm still here, just been busy with work, moving and unpacking. I'm loving my new apartment, it's the brightest apartment I've ever lived in. Morning sun is always good for me.

One of my favourite things of summer is grocery shopping at the farmer's market. I haven't been to many this year, but I managed to pick up some fresh mint and strawberries at the farmer's market in front of city hall. I'm kind of addicted to mint lately. I've been putting it into my salads and teas. Think it's time to grow some of my own.

shopping day

We're finally free this Saturday, so shopping was a clear choice.

There's this street, Via Governo Vecchio, in Rome that has many vintage stores and independent designer stores. That's where we went today.

Vintage/2nd hand things are definitely valued more here. They're not so thrifty here. I'm very impressed with the things i saw in the independent stores, a lot of them are handmade, but again they're quite on the expensive side..

I didn't really buy anything, but window shopping is always exciting : )

I'm leaving for the north trip tomorrow! I'll have a lot to show you when I come back. See you in 9 days!
