A Room of One's Own...

A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.
Virginia Woolf

In this case it's not about writing fiction (and anyway to talk about just women would be limiting), but I thought of this quote as soon as I finally found the perfect space (or, better, it found me): CartEssenza, after months of uncertainties and roaming, has a new home...a room of one's own ♥

The silence of these days was indeed for the moving in of the new CartEssenza's laboratory/atelier, located in the centre of my beautiful Genoa! 

To say that I'm happy is not enough: the doorway is crossed, another little step is done, now I just have to continue the walk...

Thank you to all those who were at my side for this journey and also to my friends that helped me, morally and phisically, in this endeavour: a giant hug to you all first!

Back in Italy...but I want to show you one last thing: the beautiful Armagh ♥

Hello dear friends of CartEssenza,
I'm back in Italy from some days and I'm already really busy with projects and big news that I'll show you soon. To end my travel experience (for now) I wanted anyway to show you the last marvellous tour I had during my stay in Northern Ireland:
I had in fact the chance to have as exceptional guides some residents of Armagh, marvellous city of Northern Ireland in which you can taste the mix of different cultures and religions of this beautiful country.
Where you can, indeed, visit in the same day a Protestant Cathedral, a Catholic Cathedral and a Pagan Cult Site?

Welcome to Armagh, Northern Ireland!

As many of you already know, it's never easy to leave Ireland, but if you do it by night this is the result: half sleepy at Dublin Airport at 4.00 A.M. ;)

And here I am, back in italian sky: I missed a lot the sun and the weather!

Now that I'm again in Italy, are you ready for next days' news? ;)
So, see you soon!
Hugs!

A day in Belfast, Northern Ireland

Hello! How some of you already know, at the moment I'm out of Italy, in Northern Ireland to be precise, and so today I show you the photos I took some days ago in Belfast, when I went there to visit the Titanic Museum :)

A good coffee after lunch at Caffè Nero, where they do it almost like in Italy...but plus they have gingerbread men ;)
