l'heure bleu is the time of day I love most, the sky is luminous and
velvety at the same time. In Venice, the blue hour is beyond beautiful,
it is magical.

Cheers, Mandy
Many thanks, dear Mandy. Sorry for the late reply, your lovely comment got swallowed by mistake!
DeleteDear MaiTai, I'm so glad you had such a beautiful birthday holiday. Thank you for sharing all your photos with us. That bracelet is lovely, as is your new shawl. I was looking at that one as well. The color combination is stunning.
ReplyDeleteK
Thanks so much for the kind and lovely words, dear K. I only saw your comment now, as I had some problems with the notification settings. Happy you like the new shawl.. it is very easy to wear and the color combination is perfect for summer.
DeleteGorgeous Venice, Gorgeous Mai Tai! The gemstone necklace is smashing!
ReplyDeleteI love Cipriani's (I previously stated that I had never explored Giudecca, but now I realize that I have!) What a perfect venue for dinner and romance!
The travelogue is ending soon? Dear Mai Tai, your mission, should you choose to accept it( a la Mission Impossible) is to travel often and well, and to share it all with us!!
Barbara A
Oh what a lovely mission that would be, my dear Barbara! So glad you enjoyed coming along this trip, and that it brought back great memories! The Cipriani is almost an island to itself, it's easy to forget where this spot of paradise belongs to...
DeleteMagic - cannot find better words out there for the scenes you put together.
ReplyDeleteBesides beauty of Venice itself and obvious nice mood you radiate - I am always thankfully thinking about amount of work and talent involved in creating your magic posts. It can be seen from each post that they were put together with great care and attention and I am truly impressed with it.
Hugs, Lea
Magic it was, my dear Lea. I so much enjoy putting the posts together, and it is a source of tremendous pleasure to find ways to mirror the atmosphere as I experienced it. Your appreciation means a lot, thanks so much <3
DeleteMaitai!
ReplyDelete"L'heure bleue" is such a pretty expression! To express the same idea, I like "entre chien et loup"... I'm in awe of your last post: the light is magic indeed and you look ethereal... It even looks like the climate was ideal: not too cold, not too hot... Just the right excuse for a beautiful new shawl! Would love to see a post dedicated to your new addition: I'm thirsty for its colours!
Have a great weekend,
Béatrice, SubPolar Switzerland
A belated thank you for the lovley comment, dear Béatrice. Never heard of "entre chien et loup", thank you for sharing this charming expression. Hope the weather has improved in the meantime, and wishing you a wonderful upcoming weekend!
DeleteDearest MaiTai,
ReplyDeleteL'heure bleu is indescribably beautiful, if only we could suspend time…but not as divine as you, dear MaiTai. You are the most luminous star of all the stars, lighting up all our hearts. How wonderful to see you so very, very happy - so much joy, so much love!! Thank you so much, dear friend, for sharing your moments of bliss. Much love and biggest hugs to you xxx
If only we could suspend time indeed, my dearest Scarf Enthusiast! Thank you for coming along, and for sprinkling extra fairy dust onto this travelogue. With love, gratitude and happy big friendship hugs xx
