Cooking with an Italian Nona.

While in Castiglione del Lago a little town in the province of Perugia Italy, we had a lazy day where this Italian Nona came to cook for us and teach us how to make home made pasta using your hands.

On the menu,

Rabbit

Home made Pasta

Fried Zuchinni Blossems

Tiramisu with a hint of homemade Limoncello

herb roasted potatoes

I will let the pictures tell you the story.

Shopping for Spring essentials.

Spring is here and if you are like me I like looking for new pieces for my closet or new accessories like bags, sandals or chic jogging pants.  At Simons.ca  there is something for everyone , discover Simons Maison where there is beautiful things for your home, beautiful colorful bedsheets are on sale now starting at just $9.99.

They have  designer clothes  like Just Cavali, Diane von Furstenberg  or Vince just to name a few. Take a look at their look books for inspiration.

In their vacation boutique you have everything you need for your next vacation from sandals, swimsuits and other travel essentials.
At Simons.ca  you will find everything onder one roof.
Here are some of my picks.

Yellow Mellow.

When I picked these flowers out at Michaels I had this idea that would include water or milk.

But that idea didn't go through so we had to work with what we had. For this particular shoot I wanted some dramatic black eyes but my talented daughter opted to paint a black line instead which I I loved.

Here are some of the photos.

Here are some of the photographs I have taken so far.
I love taking pictures of everything I do not know which direction I will end specializing in at this moment but right now I am love working with studio light and natural light.
If you want to follow my photography blog you can check it here . There are lots of photos in my portfolio.
I choose my middle name Farrielle for the name of my business.

My newest venture....Photography.

I have always been passionate about photography, and I remember the days I would take my camera with my tripod into the woods and just take my OOTD pics. Well I have been lacking to write cause I have been working night and day on my photography website and Facebook page, I had to come up with a photography sheet pricing, my rules etc etc.

I can't remember when it all started but I know for sure that since I had my first child I would always document what was happening daily, I believe it was because we moved away from the islands to Amsterdam and since I didn't have my family over there with me I would take pictures, develop and sent them back to my families. It might also been because growing up I wish I had pictures of myself as a young girl just to see how I was,  I know I have seen one when I was a baby and some when I was 7  to 12 years old.

Below is the picture that started the new fire, the new venture. I didn't plan  for this but it all fell in place, the light was good she gave me just a smile and look at those freckles isn't she just beautiful.
I can't wait to share with you the pictures I take. More to come soon.
