WISTERIA AND FIRST SIGNS OF CHRISTMAS

No, I'm not somewhere on a tropical island! :) I visited my favorite Garden Center and I had a coffee under the (faux) wisteria :) Christmas has already arrived at the Garden Center... Each year, Christmas decorations which are for sale are set in scene so beautifully... it's like a Christmas wonderland. The little houses set in a winter scenery are particularly fascinating.

ROMANTIC WINTER VILLAGE ART

The lovely picture I chose for my Christmas greetings yesterday is a painting by Italian artist Marino Di Fazio, so with this occasion I would like to show you more of the work by this talented native Genoan painter who specializes in lovely naif scenes from the Italian province! These naif, sweet, peaceful and timeless snow scenes from Northern Italian villages touch my heart... because this is my little world in the Alps! I feel like I have already walked through many of these scenes... Enjoy!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas to all my friends!!!!!
