{Ceramic Shopping in Nove} 26 Oct 2010

Hello again. My mom & I went on another trip--this time to Nove where they have lots of ceramic shops. The shops ship their ceramics to Williams-Sonoma, Tiffany & Co., Lenox, Nordstrom to name a few. I might just have to buy new dishes before we leave in a few years. I bought a ceramic tile that had downtown Vicenza painted on it and a huge salad bowl.

This was the first shope we went to....

This was another shop we stopped at.....

On our way to lunch we had a little bit of time, so the tour guide took us to this meat & cheese shop.

This is the place where we had lunch. A typical Italian meal---first, a thick spaghetti noodle with duck sauce, next, risotto with mushrooms, then, pork, french fries & peas..to drink-wine & water, bread and coffee for after....VERY filling! Good thing Mark & I went out cycling for 1.5 hrs. that afternoon :)

Finally---SNOW on the mountains :) We had an entire weekend of rain. So much that we thought the creek in our backyard was going to go over the bank. When the weather cleared, we were able to see snow on the mountains.

Enjoy :)

Ciao!
