Links I Love Week 26
I am officially on the plane to Italy. I am with my dad and fiancé who are both sitting on each side of me while I type. We are meeting the rest of our family in Lake Como for a week of exploring. This is most of my family’s first trip back since pre-Covid. I am very excited to see my niece and nephew, hang out with the family, and eat lots of pasta and pizza. Henri is in very good hands although I wish he could join us.
Grab your coffee and croissants or cappuccino and cornetto as I will be doing as soon as we land.
Thank you for joining me for this week’s links!

I had the 3ft for many years before moving and now we have the 5ft. The price is very reasonable on sale. It is still a splurge item. If you have your eye on it, this is a great opportunity to buy it. You can see it in my home here.
