As I've mentioned in my previous post, I hope you all had a lovely Easter holidays! I was off work for almost a week (I start again this friday), so I was able to rest, relax & spend some quality time with my hubby & friends :)
I didn't forget about you guys, so I took my photocamera with me & vlogged whenever I had the occasion!
We went to Collagu', a small village in the italian hills, where my hubby's friend has a house. He invited us to a barbecue and we were happy to accept his invite, to spend the day walking in the nature, eating yummy foods, and hanging with friends & "our" little doggy (yes, we're still dogsitting, and we love it!)
You can check out my vlog video here:
& here are the pictures, that are worth thousand words!
Spring is in the air...
in the italian hills...
vineyards everywhere!
little, picturesque houses in the hills...

these flowers announce the arrival of spring!
My hubby & Millball ♥
♥♥
Hubby acting crazy... ;)
after a nice meal, we went for a walk, exploring these hills...
just one of the many cakes that we had!
Two other dogs that were "invited" to the party :)
Millball actually had sort of a fight with the male dog (the black one), so we had to keep a close eye on them and keep them separated at all times!
The day was nice, but quite chilly!
I was wearing so many layers to keep warm, also because we spent most of the day outside, in the nature.
Our little group...with some of the members missing from this group photo!
Where were they when these pictures were taken??
Probably somewhere inside of the house eating or drinking, lol!
These are my hubby's closest friends, he grew up with these people! <3
I hope you enjoyed watching this vlog & as well as the beautiful italian sights that I wanted to share with you!
Just a quick post to let you guys know that I've made a little vlog video :)

Now I'm off to cook dinner for my hubby & granny (yes, she's still here with us! Today we went together for a short walk and did some minor accessories/nail polis shopping! ;) )
I'm going to cook mexican burritos tonight!
Yeay, so excited, we all love mexican cuisine, and I enjoy preparing it!
Will talk to you later, I have an OOTD to blog about ;)
Today, my hubby & I finished putting together the furniture in our small hallway...
Because I have too many things, we have to make the most out of the space we have...
We put together a closet and lots of a "shoe-storage" plastic boxes from Ikea (these are actually great for making the most out of the storage space!)
We had fun & took just a few quick snapshots of me in between my closet and shoe storage boxes!
There is such a little space left in between, that getting in there actually serves as a "fitness test", my hubby concluded! lol
Tomorrow we might just transfer our bed to our new home, which means we'll finally have our first night there!
&..this also means I'll be without internet for a ... (???)
These days, I was dowloading the season 3 and 4 of my favourite TV- show, "True Blood", like crazy!
I really wanted to see all the episodes, and I can't wait (I don't know how long) to start watching them again on-line!
You guys, I don't watch TV, it's been 7 years now, so internet is my everyyythinggg!
I guess I'll turn to reading books & listening to the radio now :)
Anyway, I wanted to post a music video for a song "Bad Things" by Jace Everett, that is a theme song of "True Blood" intro!
I don't like the intro that much, but I ♥♥♥♥ the songgg!
You can listen to it here:
On the other note, I'm slowly getting to know the road to my new place (been driving back and forth every day, for a week now!).
The journey to get to my work is going to be a bit longer, but the place where I'm going to live is so much prettier than where we had lived for the past (almost) 5 years...
I guess that's my little ramble for today!
Love you guys!!!
Have a good night- I'm off to bed, as another long day is ahead of me!
Unusually warm October, it was a pure pleasure to be outside
in the nature!
In our rustic mountain house :)

Yesterday, I spent an amazing day with my hubby and my father-in-law!
It was a very hot and humid day where we live, so we ran out of the town in a search for a fresh air and beautiful landscapes, at a nearby mountains of our Veneto region.
We headed to the mountains of Cansiglio (you can find out a little bit more about the wonderful Cansiglio forest here!)
Here are some of the pics we've taken yesterday:
Me & my father-in-law
Undressing, as it was pretty warm :)
Smiling... :)
Trendy accessories even in the mountains!
My must-haves, always! ;)
Beautiful nature!
I <3 the mountains!
Breathtaking view!
Stella Alpina, Runolist or Edelweiss, a protected flower that nowadays
is really rare, almost extinct!
It grows in the mountains and prefers rocky limestone places at 2000–2900 m altitude.
We've found it at cca 1500 m altitude!
Happiness...is to live, to breath, to experience...
Since I was a child, I was obsessed with horses!
Simply <3 these animals!
I was so excited that we actually saw Edelweiss flower in the mountains!
As I've said, nowadays these flowers are very rare and they're protected.
My grandmother gave me an Edelweiss flower many years ago (I still have it in my memory book), she picked it up long before it became a protected specie.
I've never seen it actually growing from the earth so I was amazed at how gorgeous it was!
I could have stared at it for hours, just mesmerised by its beauty!
Here is a bit more about Edelweiss:
The alpine Edelweiß, which in the German language means noble and white, is found generally at altitudes from 1700 meters to 2700 meters.
Edelweiss prefers calcareous light soils with excellent drainage and southern exposure, where it likes to form herbal mats, growing from 8 cm to 20 cm tall.Edelweiss flowers are classified as short lived perennials, which after being picked during a number of growing seasons from the same plant, are unable to propagate by seeding and will disappear from an formerly established area.
Find more about the beautiful & rare Edelweiss flower here!
On our way back, we stopped at the resort of Breda di Fregona, near Vittorio Veneto, to visit
The complex of the Caglieron caves consists of a very deep gorge cut into the calcareous rock of the Caglieron torrent, and of a series of man-made caves in the canyon walls.
It reminded me on a setting of Goonies, the movie!
Inside of the caves!
A waterfall behind me :)
I filmed a vlog from my yesterday's trip, so you can follow me around & enjoy all these beautiful sights with me!
