Celebrate!

Wow- how can you miss me if I don’t go away?

Things got a little out of hand to say the least. My trip to California was wacko with family and work and before I left I signed a contract on a new space to teach from in Colle Val D’Elsa.

While I was gone, my husband packed and moved ALL MY STUFF and had it waiting for me when I got back to unpack and organize.

Oh, did you not know that most Italian apartments come WITHOUT A KITCHEN?

I arrived home with my fingers crossed that the custom kitchen I ordered would arrive before my clients did this Friday.

Oh yeah, did I mention that the apartment had no hot water or gas???

I was really pushing my luck- but have been feeling pretty lucky lately.

Well, the kitchen has arrived! Walls are painted, hot water and gas hooked up as of today and now all I need to do is wash everything and put it in the shelves and I am ready to cook.
Here are some foto’s of the apartment in progress-

It is all just waiting to be filled with all my treasures- I can’t wait!

Stop by my site for more information on my one day to one week programs.

outside this door is a huge patio- can’t wait to set it up for al fresco dining

It all looks a little naked now– give me a day!
