Remarkable Women ~ Part Two: My Tuscan Experience



























I have met so many remarkable women. This is a series about women that are not famous or infamous, but they are hidden gems of society and deserve attention. Some of them have gone through severe trials and hardships, and still do, but they have risen above their circumstances and still see and enjoy the beauty in life. In the previous post I visited my girl friend Silvia at her Tuscan style home in Naples, Florida, USA and decided to do another post on her because I knew you would enjoy another afternoon of cappuccino and tea at her beautiful home...




Silvia made some German flower cookies and we enjoyed it with fresh strawberry and berry jam that she made.




It was wonderful relaxing and enjoying each other's company at this beautiful table ...




She has the most beautiful tea cups and it was difficult to choose a cup to drink tea out of...








It felt like we were in Tuscany with this beautiful view...





Pepper enjoying the sunlight! She is one of the sweetest and friendliest cats I have ever met...




Room with a view...




We sat at this cozy fireplace in the hot Florida summer while she put the air conditioning on cold. It was quite an experience...!

  12. Thank you dear Ingrid for your message on my blog. I am indeed very well and hope the same goes for you too. I have enjoyed reading about your friend Silvia and drooling over the photos of her stunning home! It is quite fitting that you dedicate these posts to her, she is clearly the most wonderful host.
