Ciao Donatella!!! Thank you for your sweet comment to my blog! I'm now your follower too!!! Have a fantastic week!!! Ciao cara! (can you still speak a little bit of italian?) Hugs!!!
Oh my gosh, MORE eye candy! You are sisters with very good taste - love it. Thanks for paying me a visit and following my blog! I'm flattered and always surprised that anyone cares about what I have to say. I'm following you too now via google reader.
A little birdie told me that it was your birthday, so I came to wish you a happy one. Beautiful post! Beautiful blog! I now need to go look around here awhile.
Hee hee that same little birdie also told me it was your birthday Donatella:) All my very best and happiest wishes to you for your birthday, and a great big birthday hug! Hope you enjoyed your special day ~ Tina XX
Hi Donna, wishes and more wishes of happiness and all the best on your day! How lovely to know that you and Lu are sisters and wonderful friends. I love my sister deeply and miss them a lot! Enyoy your day and your big sis.. love, Li
Hi my name is Donatella, but my friends just call me Donna. I was born in Naples, Italy. My mom brought me here at the age of four, and I have lived in Southern California ever since. I met and married the perfect man. Married 15 years with one daughter, Jessie-lou. We love God, our country, life together and our home.
A one time hair-dresser, and former business owner turned antique & vintage buyer/ seller; hard-work is in the blood!
There's something special about the beauty of natural, simple living that's heartwarming and conmforting, and is often missed in our busy, modern lives. Old-fashioned style and country flair remind me of times that are peacful and easy; genuine. There's something so wonderful- about things that have generations of unique history.
