wikipedia defines “everyday life” as that which
“comprises the ways in which people typically
act, think, and feel on a daily basis.”
though it still sounds like a fantastical oxymoron to me,
here are some recent examples of
my everyday life. in italy.
- bird-watching cats and snoozing-in-the-sunshine cats and image-admiring cats
- a typical tuscan scene and surreal mountains and il verde della primavera
- painting and tile work and IKEA instructions
- an icky bug and a dusty house and a new haircut
- verde alpi marble cove base and gilded walls and used-car test-driving
- a stone 1690s bnb/restaurant and beautiful-roses-from-a-neglected-garden
- a radiator that pops and amici dolci
and here, direct from villa magnolia (la mia amata casa), a few images of those events . . .
and now to answer possible questions in advance . . .
- YES, that was the first IKEA item that i put together all by myself.
- YES, that bug was big! (and fast.)
- NO, we did not buy a car. (yet.)
- YES, one of the cars that we test drove did die FOUR times in the middle of traffic! and the salesman did hop out, throw open the hood, hook up a battery charger (that was conveniently located in the back seat), and charge it every time.
- YES, i did paint that radiator to match the dresser i painted earlier.
and now it’s your turn . . .

Love it April! 🙂 The last 3 pictures are my favourites! Who’s in all of them with you? I love all of the pictures you share. Fun!!! Love it. Well ok, I don’t like bugs…creepy, crawly…lolol I think that they’re interesting though. Weird I know but I do. Anyway, great post. 🙂 Thanks for sharing with us. 🙂 That makes me smile.
Namaste,
Angela
What a beautiful glimpse into your everyday life April! The view is to die for & I just adore that rose and the gorgeous ceiling and chandelier. I think you could probably write a book – that story about charging the battery on a test drive is hilarious! Life for me is definitely not everyday – I’m cruising down the Murray River on a houseboat with friends – bliss!
This is a beautiful glimpse into the “everyday’ All the images are a great reminder to explore, and also take joy in the everyday. I am partial to the cat ones of course :)) And I love your work space!
Life overseas is definitely busy and interesting, and you did so many things in the past few weeks. I really love the last two pictures of yours, it seems you are settled and enjoy your everyday’s life and new adventure in Italy.
Love the photos and your sharing your everyday life—which seems like a fairytale when I see the beauty of your home and surroundings with a dash of hard work seeing the renovations. So impressive and love the new haircut! What a blessed adventure and you look very happy.
I am taking my journey one day at a time, following breadcrumbs to see where it takes me.
