Castello di Vicarello
An abandoned castle from 1100 transformed into the Tuscan destination of your romance-/Italy-/design-loving dreams. Castello di Vicarello, restored by the Bacchareschi Berti family, opened in 2003.
If you want to pick up some Italian cooking skills, you can help out Aurora in the kitchen, where she runs an informal cooking school. That sounds like the best kind of cooking school to me.

Edible Greens
My green thumb project in the spring turned out rather poorly (as in, it turns out I don’t have a green thumb), but this, I think I could handle…
A perfect solution for beginner apartment gardeners who want to grow their own salad greens! This kit from Edible Greens comes with everything you need, and the greens grow right in these re-purposed wine boxes!
Available through Rare Device.
Loving Bunting
Love these adorable cake buntings from Kiki La Ru. Is that not the sweetest cake decoration you’ve ever seen?
I’m not so much a perfectionist when it comes to icing things, so I love that the icing is done casually, and then the buntings give it a little flair.

A Simple Feat of Light
Sadly don’t know where this is or who made it. But I love it. Amazing what simple votive candles can do.
Mr. Sign
Window-shopping is getting even more appealing in Montreal these days Dave Arnold, or “Mr. Sign,” is bringing back the art of hand-painted window signs. Apparently, his work is catching on like wild-fire and store owners are eagerly seeking him out.
Isn’t that cool?? A resurgence of hand-made anything is pretty exciting. If you missed the post with the video about the dying art of hand-painted billboards in New York, check it out back here. It’s a pretty touching homage.
