Friday Pretties: Weekend trip to Venice ...

... in my dreams i can travel, 

wherever fantasie takes me!

 Even in my coffee break and bathe my eyes in the waters of the laguna!

In real life, i have to hurry to get the new issue of our magazine KidsLife finished, but i'd love you to come with me for some minutes and revel in the beauty of ancient palazzi, of turquoise waters and golden sprinkles of mosaic and sunlight. And then we'll have a drink at the famous "Harrys Bar", near San Marco.

The gorgeous pictures above are available as prints at Seratoni designs on Etsy.

A day in venice, a drink and a painting

My wednesday artbreak is a little trip to venice.

This time just a virtual one, but i've been to this beautiful place often, and recall the hapieness i've always felt, sitting ion a boat and approaching the laguna with all it's treasures.

A typical drink in venice, and at the moment practically everywhere in Europe is Spritz - a mixture of Aperol, Prosecco or white whine and a dash of sparkling mineral water, sometimes garnished with some orange peel and ice. It's very delicious and refreshing  - give it  a try tonight!

This painting was done in a venetian spirit, reflecting blue skies and ocean, golden frames, marble floors and fruits, warm from the sun. Have a beautiful day everyone!
