In need of good vibes

Hi there, I feel in need of good vibes in here, my little one has fever, it's about 1 month that he felt ill, and every one week the temperature goes high.... I need some lovely though in here, anyway tomorrow we will have urinalysis just to be sure there is no infection. You can imagine how I'm feeling....
Last month I have designed a new travel tea bag holder pouch, this time is crocheted and I'm really happy on how it turned out.

I will list a lot of them into my etsy before or later, so stay tuned!

This morning I found a copycat on Etsy, that's so awful! She is Italian and is really sad having people like this that still ideas to other and write "Original" on their etsy shop and listing. Anyway I have compared the listing of this person with the properly member, and report it to etsy admin. One of the copied listing it's my own design.... my original travel tea bag holder pouch, do you remember of them?

I will relist them when I will have the time to sewing again ah ah.

That's all for today, don't forget to send your best wishes for my son and don't forget that I love you and I need your feedback! :)
Love, Giusy

E' passato un mese ed io avrei dovuto fare questo post mooolto tempo prima!! E' stato un mese pieno per me e come avrete notato scrivo poco in questo periodo, il mio pancione cresce attendo con ansia il 3 giugno per fare l'ecografia morfologica e rivedere il mio piccolino!!
Tornando a Cindy, come avevo anticipato in un post precedente, è una persona eccezionale e quando viene a Trieste mi fa un enorme piacere vederla, peccato che ogni volta ci vediamo per poco tempo, spero che la prossima volta passeremo una giornata intera a chiacchierare e magari a fare shopping da Kiko (eh Cindy ;)).
Ci siamo incontrate in piazza Unità d'Italia e abbiamo fatto subito una sosta al caffè REX qualche metro più in la, in piazza della Borsa. Ci siamo scambiate i regali, e questo è il mio bottino!! Cindy ha fatto con le sue mani la splendida borsa e il porta pigiamo per il mio bebè, inoltre mi ha regalato delle bellissime ceramiche olandesi, un cuoricino, un paio di zoccoli tipici ed il porcellino salvadanaio dovve mettere i risparmi per il bimbo in arrivo :))
Per altri dettagli sul nostro incontro ed altrettante foto, Vi rimando all'articolo di Cindy, sul nostro incontro.

one month has passed and I would have done this post time ago! It 'been a month full for me and as you may have noticed I didn't wrote much in this period, my belly grows, I look forward to June 3 to ultrasound morphology and revise my baby!

Going back to Cindy, as I had earlier in a previous post, is an exceptional person and when she come in Trieste is a great pleasure to see her, it's a pity that every time we see each other for a short time, I hope that the next time will spend a full day for a chat and perhaps to go shopping by Kiko (Cindy eh;)).
We met in square Unità d'Italia and we just made a stop at the coffee REX few meters in the square Borsa. There we exchanged gifts, and this is my booty! Cindy has done with her hands the wonderful fellowship and the lovely sheep, a pigiama holder for my baby, also gave me some beautiful Dutch pottery, a heart, a pair of typical hooves and the piggy bank for savings some money for the baby : ))
For more details on our meeting and as many more pictures, reed the Article that Cindy wrote about our meeting.

It's Winter and TEA TIME!

Winter is arrived in Europe, finally! And there is nothing more comfortable of a cup of tea to warm the soul and heart.

This holder is a cute way to carry your tea bags in your purse or travel bag, so you can taste your favorite tea flavor in every moment even if you're out of home!

This holder is great for traveling and you can even stash some of your favorite tea bag and sugar bag in there for whenever you need it.

I've been in Wien and.... cooking

Well, prepare a tea (or seen the topic, I should say a chocolate) and then take a moment to read this post that will be pretty long :-)



I've been in Wien and it worth the travel. Oh! I love this city, everything is great and gorgeous, the Metropolitan Station (U-Bahn) is very clean, people are efficent, polite and so organized, ie the Museums were full of visitors, but we stay in queue for not more of 5-10 minutes. 

[********************************]

Food is delicious!! I've loved each moment there.

Hansy Original Fiakergulasch

Wiener Schnitzel

We eat in the Gasthaus Hansy in the EineStrasse , very closed to the Prater, soo good!! Here in the photo you can see one of the dishes we choose, the Original Fiakergulasch and the Wiener Schnitzel, and if you go there, don't forget to order the Tagessuppe (soup of the day!).

The Original Sacher torte at Sacher Hotel

demel shopping bag

We also been at the Sacher Cafè in the Hotel , now it is official, they have the "original trademark" for the Sacher Torte. It has been in conflict with Demel .  I eat the
Sacher Torte at the Sacher Hotel, and I've also loved the Imperial Torte of Demel as well.

Gerstner Macarons

Talking about cakes, time ago I've read about French Macarons, (or Makaroons as american usually call them), and I was just curious about this lovely and petit "patis". I couldn't imagine that I will have find it in Wien!!
Walking in the Kartner Strasse, I saw a window full of Macarons, the cafè was Gerstner and they say they have the Original Macarons. I've got a box with 12 macarons, and oh.... you couldn't imagine how delicious they are!!

my attempt at macarons

Come back at home, there are days that I'm looking for a good recipe to make macarons, I'm still looking and collecting recipes, my first attempt was no successful, the macaron's surface is broken, but it should be smooth and shiny, at least we eat them, but I will try to make them again with more success.

Danto's red garlic and shallot

From year 2001, when it was held the first edition, we have in Trieste a very lovely European Market fair "Piazza Europa", where we could discover unusual tastes. This year I found a french bench "Danto", that sells garlic and shallot. They are very good! I prepared this evening a fresh tomato sauce using those ingredients and it turn out very good.

my father's apple

And those apples are from my father's garden :)

So, that's all for now, but I will post much more about food and cooking, once a month with a recipe, Oh, I book a seat for a course on

making chocolate praline for November 10th. We will see.... so, back to sewing now!

I wish you a nice week, Giusy
