My Trip

So for my mom's birthday present, my dad sent the two of us on a bus tour through Italy. Bus tour? yeah, it was almost as awful as it sounds, except for the fact that it was italy! Long hours on the crowded bus led us to beautiful places such as...

Venice



Rome



Pompeii



Serento



Pisa



and Florence.



And on this whole trip I only bought Two things!!! Yay me! First is this lovely Murano glass pendant, I had to buy it because of the tree,



And second was this really fun bright plate. I'm in love with it.



And in case that bored you (I tried to keep it short) Here is the progress on my orange and blue X quilt,



And there is another color way following close behind!

How could trip photos bore us?!?! Ok, maybe it's just me who gets super excited by things like this, but i'm definitely not bored. I love your classic blue and orange but OH MY the pink and green. OH MY. OH MY. LOVE. BTW. My word verification thing is 'stroo'. HAHA!
