hello sweet friends, how are you doing?
i hope this was a good week for you! as in for me, it was a really good one…
+ as in a urge of courage i started to share my blog with my closest friends last week… and this week, i have created a page on facebook under the name {twigg’s place}, and as a huge and very good surprise, i found so many friends there!
+ i wrote a guest post on {gathering spriggs}, which invitation left me all proud & delighted to write for such beautiful and inspiring place!
+ today there was a delicious event… {rue magazine} was posted today and oh my… eye candy buffet, just as they say.
so, let us go to our main subject today. as we are in a design mood, our guess for today is a lovely italian girl, which taste for interior styling is so fresh, with a smooth remembrance of the seventies… white with drops of light blue & orange.
+ she has taken the handmade pledge as she makes beautiful pieces in crochet, with which she decorates her corners.
… so let us see what this lady has to say about numbers & words!
Number :: 29
During my twenty-ninth year of life I moved to the Nederlands from Italy and I got married with the love of my life, after 9 years together. We married on the 29th of August, it was a hot summer day in Italy. Moreover, the number 29, describes my age, and as living a unforgettable period of my life: I’m enjoying living with my husband, I like my new job, and I have a huge number of ideas that I want to realize. I hope that all this things of my life will stay with me until the number 29 will be reversed… at 92!
Letter :: F
I have three words that start with a letter F: one is in english, one is in italian and one is in dutch!
1. F is for Family
I grew up in a very close family, and although I’m far away, my relatives are always with me. I’m very greatful to my family for the support that they gave me, and for helping me realize all my dreams and projects.
2. F is for Fotografia (Photography)
Photography is one of my greatest passions since the time that my dad gave me his own camera when I was young. I have always thought that taking pictures is a kind of gift…by turning something normal into something special. That’s what I try to do with my pictures.
3. F is for Fiets (Bicycle)
The “fiets” represents my actual lifestyle here in the Nederlands. It is my favourite way to discover new places: I don’t enjoyed walking a lot, but on my bike, with sun, rain or snow on my face, I can go everywhere!
A perfect day is when…
…wake up and is a wonderful morning during holidays. I’m in a place I’ve never visited before. Regardless of whether I’m still tired or not, I just rush to discover all the beauty that is awaiting for me… and my trusty camera.
One thing I would love to learn is…
… to be more patient..and finally speak dutch very well!
Would you rather be an english woman in New York, or a New Yorker in England?
Mmm… and why not an italian woman who lives in NYC and that loves tea as an english woman?
… as you see this was a very rich interview… i loved the fact that ilaria chose three words instead of one… and in three different languages (loving languages like i do… it was easy for me to say “yes, be creative!” when she asked!).
besides all this, i must say that this has been the guest whith whom i have more in common… i am 29 years old as well, i have just started a new job two months ago… i am living with my loved one & loving it too… and finally, i would love to be a portuguese to live in new york city & as in for tea… i love tea as much as the next one!
+ she came to spend her vacations in portugal… & when i was complimenting one of her souvenirs, she told me that these were bought at a small fishing town, surf’s main spot in portugal… where i happen to spend my weekends, as the loved one was raised there! what a delicious coincidence!
so… ilaria, thank you so much for being here… it was a pleasure to discover you through these random questions!
and this is it my friends!
may you all have the sweetest of weekends!
for those who love capturing moments & making them special… feel free to share them next week!
looking forward to see you!

Looks like you've been having a lovely week Twiggs :) I am glad for you that your friends like your blog, I know how scary it is the first time you start to let people know about it! I was very nervous of showing anyone mine, but in the end my family and friends loved it so I was glad I took the brave step of showing them. I hope you have the same experience :) Lovely interview with Ilaria, her handmade pieces are just so pretty!

… and writing comments at 7.45 am does these things! i meant "leaving"… instead of "living such good and nice words" :)
