good mail tuesday
i was mentioning to my dear friend karen/bonjourbrookline the other day that my s.o., amidst planning this wedding, would like to take a wee trip to italy the week after christmas.
upon hearing this, i gulped. my heart raced. panic set in. that's A LOT to plan the day after christmas. but, it's his big birthday (40) so it was really important to him. and it's italy for god's sake. this is where a good friend leaps in.
yesterday i received this package....
can you believe this? books on italy, beautifully written notes on everything, the coolest highlighters with sticky things, and two luscious bottles of italian wine (one of which we broke into last night-delish!). may you all be blessed with friends who spoil you with their generosity. the time and thought put into this, alone, makes my whole world feel that much happier. thank you karen! mmmmwah.

I'm thinking of planning a trip to Broome W.A. (Australia) - do you think she'd like to send me a really cool package like that???!!!
xxoo!
PLUS, I spy a DK "Top 10" book, and they are THE BEST travel books. Lots of photos, great picks, great maps, and just nicely edited info. You are in good hands with that friend and that book.
i'm so excited to check it out. it sounds right up my alley. tremendously helpful!
