We have been wanting to increase our pottery (dishware) collection, and there is a neat little town in Northern Italy that makes some of the dishes for names like Tiffany and Co., Williams Sonoma, and Lenox, along with lots of other Italian style pottery. It is very fun to shop there, and very inexpensive!
Here I am picking out a couple of fun pieces.
I was so excited that Robert and Christina decided to get this next piece of pottery. I actually got one a couple of years back and was SO EXCITED about it! It was fun that Christina shared my excitement for fish pottery!
After shopping we headed to Mariostica! Another local town. Since we couldn't find the pizza place we were looking for we decided to have lunch at the castle/fortress up on the hill. We had an amazing meal and a lot of fun exploring the area!
After lunch and exploring Marostica we headed back to Vicenza so we would have enough time to do some wine tasting and shopping! We made our way to the local winery, tasted some great wines, and bought bottles that cost about $2.50. Such awesome deals that we couldn't resist but overload on the amount of wine we bought! I'm pretty sure it will last us through the year. Very fun!
Venice came next on Sunday it was a beautiful day (again) we were so excited to just walk around and take it all in.
I don't think we could love living in Europe more! We are so blessed to be able to do these kinds of things and just enjoy life and each other!

You guys look great!
After seeing these photos, I'm extra sad that I had class and we couldn't come along. I'd like to get the info on where you guys went and what you did so that John and I can hopefully make a similar trip in the future.

awesome pictures Heather! I got my dishes at that same factory (the ones that look like Fiesta) and miss wandering around in it! So fun that you go to go. :)
