Thank you for all your sweet comments and best wishes for our trip to Tuscany. We have spent two great weeks at Casolare dei Fiori with my sister and her family (4 adults and six children, age 8 to 17). We have enjoyed local meals made by the owners of Casolare dei Fiori - not every day!
At first I show you some pictures from the antique market in Lucca.
It was a real treasure market. Old iron beds, vintage furniture, lace and much more.
Lucca is a very charming town. As tourist we had to visit the old town inside the old town wall.
If you ever go to Lucca, you must visit a street named Via Borgo Gianotti. It's a street outside the old town wall. The street is very charming with shops and restaurants. We didn't meet any tourist there at all. We bought a new coffe maker in the most fantastic shop. It was a very old and dark shop filled with all from teaspons to kitchen machines. We had dinner at Tratorria Gosto & Mea in this street. The food was great, but it is not traditional Italian cooking.
All for now - I don't want to bore you! More pictures will come. Some of you have already asked me, if I've bought fabric. No - I've bought leather stuff!
Wow - That is like heaven in a market stall!
I would love to go there, everything looks gorgeous.
