At last, with my heart full of joy, I’ve been to Istanbul after 2 years of pandemic crisis. I was so excited to find all the places and the things that characterise this fantastic city. I love it so much! Everything was there! The scents, the sounds, every street corner, the infinite amazing views of […]
For many and different reasons this year (and especially the oher, 2020), has been the year of changes. I have made some myself. One big change, many small, some important and some insignificant. Some inside my way of thinking and some the way I feel… You already know how much I love brooches, and you […]

2020, many things have been told about this year. The other day I was thinking about the loss that joins many people who live these terrible periods, the painful loss of grandparents. It is an tough loss of love, memory and wisdom. I thought about my grandparents and the period of childhood I’ve been with […]
