togetherness

my times in florida are so precious to me, because i get to spend time with my grandmother. since we were little we called her mimi, french for grandmom, and visited her once for a week or two out of the long year. this year has been a chilly one, so we spend our days shopping and lounging and our nights drinking wine and dining out. it's been lovely, really. i'll never forget these times with her... actually they are really my only memories with my mimi.



this is the view from her window at night.

in case you forget, here's last year's post.

happy new year!

2009 has been an amazing year. from start to finish i had a year to remember. my biggest accomplishment has been watching vintage connection grow. vc received two very special awards of "best vintage" from philadelphia magazine and philadelphia weekly... wow! who knew my little online store could grow and be recognized in the very city i grew up?


in 2009 my mom and i took 3 beautiful trips. one of those trips was to italy with my grandmother, aunt, uncle, and cousin. in italy my grandmother revisited the very place she grew up and raised her own family. we met relatives from both sides of our grandparent's families and had a very memorable and charming experience together.

oh and then there's ryan. my friend who became so much more and turned out to be one of the most amazing people in my life. i feel so blessed to have him.

in 2009 family and friends started their own families, got promoted in this rough economy, and even bought homes. it really has been a special year! i can only hope that 2010 is just as wonderful.

here's to 2010... you have a lot to live up to, but i can't wait to see what's in store! happy new year to all of YOU! happy 2010!!

our third stop in... i miss italy

rome was our final stop. it is a great city bursting with history, people, and food. here are a few of my favorite sites and things in rome. hope you enjoyed all of my crazy, tourist photos. oh and speaking of tourist, while we were there we tried to get creative on how much of a tourist we could really look like and had fun taking some photos to capture the most ridiculous moments. if my family lets me, i'll post those too! xo
