Thursday night a package arrived. A package with Italian writing on it.
A package straight from Umbria. Delivered unbroken within 10 days, just like Chiari Bonini said it would be. I am not 100 percent certain where I will hang this yet.
But I do know this will be going to work with me for my business cards.
I will also put some of the stop talking cards in there. I like to keep them handy. One never knows when they might need one.
Finally, I got this cute little jar for garlic. I was so tired of those heads and cloves laying around looking so messy on the spoon rest. No more peeling garlic skin all over the place ever again. No siree, not at Tall Tales headquarters. I have found a solution to the the problem and it's name is Ceramiche Umbre.
Ohhhhh, I like, I LIKE!!

I am going to Umbria with 2 friends in Ovtober and your photos, purchases are so inspiring that I have organized our 7 days in Umbria following in your footsteps

Oh those "Stop Talking" cards! That truly is the funniest thing I have ever heard of! How fabulous that your parcel arrived all intact. Your choices are fabulous reminders of your latest world venture. Are those birthday wishes still in order? Happy happy happy time. I'm about to attend a 46 year high school reunion. Feeling a bit "dated" at this point :) Have a great weekend, but make sure it involves CAKE!

OMG, totally giddy, adore the colors on all of them, what a great package to have waiting for you and the 'stop talking' cards I think I might need at the minimum, a few hundred.

Thank you for this post. For years I have had some plates I knew to be majolica but had no idea the country they were from. Now to find out the date they were made.

If you have yet to find a place to hang your plate may I offer a wall at my (mom's) humble abode?
