WHITE WEDNESDAY # 9

Benvenute al nostro appuntamento settimanale del White Wednesday di Kathleen di Faded Charm - è esattamente una settimana che non posto, quindi, ben venga il White Wednesday per scuotermi dal torpore stagionale.
YYY
Hi and welcome again to my blog for the weekly White Wednesday appointment hosted Kathleen at Faded Charm. I'ts been exactly ONE week since my last post - shame on me! I really need WW's to slow down, take some time for myself, sit at my computer and start posting. I know I've become a little lazy lately, maybe due to the colder weather or simply to my being a tad overworked. I do not know, but I'm glad there's always a WW waiting for some new white inspiration.
***Durante il fine-settimana ho trovato persino il tempo, tra una faccenda ed un'altra, per andare per vetrine, cosa che faccio con grande piacere. Inutile dirlo che il piacere si accresce notevolmente quando posso anche comperare, oltre che ammirare.
L'approssimarsi delle festività ha riempito di bianco tutte le vetrine. Sono uscita munita di macchina fotografica ed ho rubacchiato più o meno furtivamente tutto ciò che ha colpito la mia attenzione.

Over the weekend, between one errand and another, I even found the time to do a little windowshopping. This is one thing I always do with great pleasure, which is, needless to say it, greatly enhanced when I can do some shopping, too.
The fast- approaching holiday season has filled up shop windows with a great array of elegant and distinct white home decorative accessories and accents, so it didn't take much effort to have the right inspiration. Took my digital camera along and snitched some pics here and there. Hope you'll enjoy those I'll be sharing today.

Bianco con un pò di colore: una meravigliosa sfera di rose di seta

White with some color too: a gorgeous silk roses sphere for that special touch
***
Le candele bianche sono d'obbligo ovunque
YYY
White candles are definitely a must-have

Guardate che meraviglia queste lussuose sfere di perle bianche. Tres charmant, n'est-ce pas?
YYY
Look at these luxurious baubles covered in white pearls. Tres charmant, n'est-ce pas?

Ancora candele e sfere di vetro
YYY
More white candles and glass baubles

Bianche decorazioni vicino al caminetto per una calda atmosfera

White ornaments by the fireplaces for a warm and cozy atmosphere

Ed ancora candele

Some more candles

Una deliziosa borsa porta-tutto color crema con le preziosissime sfere perlate.
Scommetto che la mia cagnolona le adorerebbe

A nice cream tote-bag with luxurious beaded pearl ornaments.
Bet my dog would love them... LOL

ed eccovi una superchicca: una enorme stella coperta di minuscole perline circondata da nastri di raso e fili di cristallo
YYY
And now I have s super-treat for youe eyes only: a large star ornament covered in tiny beaded pearls with hanging white satin ribbons and crystal pendants
***
E che ne dite di questo pavone? Un pò eccessivo per i miei gusti, ma comunque molto Natalizio per chi ama il genere
YYY
How about this white peacock? I little too much for my own taste but still Christmasey
***
Facciamo ora un saltino da me, prima di salutarci, per qualche candela bianca e l'ultima rosa della stagione
YYY
Now chez moi, before I bid you good night, for some more white candles and the last white rose of the season
***
Per chiudere la serata, un omaggio alla forma perfetta: un enorme uovo di oca che mi è stato regalato dal mio carissimo collega e fedele lettore Filippo. Come potete immaginare, l'uovo è naturalmente finito in padella per una squisita frittata.
YYY
Last but not least, a tribute to perfection: a huge white goose egg which has been given me by my dear friend, co-worker and faithful reader Filipppo. As you can easily imagine, the egg ended up in a pan to be cooked into a delicious omelette which we enjoyed for dinner.

HaPpY WhITe WeDNeSaY!
Hugs
Y Rita

  3. Rita!!! Good evening! It is almost Thanksgiving for us here in the U.S....we are all very excited for this time of the year when we have vacation from work and time with friends and family. I just love your posts with white; that tote bag is so pretty with the pearl ornaments! I started decorating the house for Christmas and this year, it is white with silver ornaments and natural elements like dried hydrangeas on the tree. I love it and you inspired me by your white posts!

    I send you my warmest wishes for a great weekend; come and visit my Thanksgiving post and come mushroom picking with me! Ciao, Anita

  13. Hi Rita,

    thank you for your so very kind words on my blog! I really do appreciate that you like my way of decorating the house. And yes, I like different styles, too - English, French, Nordic. And somehow it works to combine them.

    Do you speak German (I'm asking because of the German parts of your comment)? If so, I would leave future comments in my mother tongue, but English is no problem neither.

    Have a wonderful Sunday,
    Hugs, Angelika
