“An afternoon in Colmar…” My brother, his wife and son came to visit us in Switzerland. Since I know how much of a wine aficionado my brother is, I couldn’t resist but to suggest a visit to the vineyards of Alsace, France! Now, my brother has never visited France, so a trip to the city […]
My recent travels…
Just came back from France and Germany! Went to one of my favorite regions in France which happens to be the wine region of Alsace. Then, we took off from Alsace to Germany because we wanted to spend the day in LEGOLAND! I know, but I’m very young at heart! I can easily go back […]

A good day to sketch…
Listening to some music while fashion drawing brings me relaxation and a little bit of peace of mind. Much needed for a while… Here are some pics of them… If you were wondering what I was listening… 1. Coldplay- “Magic” 2. George Ezra- “Budapest” 3. American Authors- “Best day of my life” 4. “Nek- […]
I “peach” myself on the back…
For this Peach Tarte Tatin! I have never made a tart in my life. Never…ever! But I love ’em, so I thought maybe it was time for me to make one, or at least try. That, and the fact that my neighbor made one for me as a gift! Oh, it was soooo perfectly crisp, […]
A buckle of blueberries
That’s what I said the first time I heard about this… People have been making this cake for many, many years now. It’s this dessert, cake, “coffee cake”, whatever you want to call it. Everybody seemed to know about this but me. I mean, it’s just like saying, “go to the mattresses”, and everybody knows […]
Orta San Giulio, Italy
A very old and mystical place… We pretty much visited everything we wanted in Lago Maggiore. For our last day we wanted to explore further inland. We asked the receptionist at the hotel if she had any suggestions as to where to go for a quiet and relax day. With that in mind, she took […]
Tempo di Vacanza…Cannobio!
Lago Maggiore, Italy: Part III Our next stop was Cannobio, Italy. Cannobio is known for many things. For me, there were two things I came to see and experience for myself: The Cannobio Market and Santuario della SS Pietà. The Cannobio Market I have been to many kinds of markets around Europe: Christmas Markets, Harvest […]
Tempo di Vacanza…Cannero Riviera
Lago Maggiore, Italy: Part II Our next visit during our stay in Lago Maggiore was Cannero Riviera, Italy. Known for their gardens and citrus fruits’ harvests since the 1500’s, this little old village sits right on the lake shore of Maggiore. It offers spectacular views, great food and days of pure relaxation and enjoyment! Cannero […]
Tempo di Vacanza…Verbania-Intra
Lago Maggiore, Italy: Part I This was an incredible week! We just came back from the Northern region of Italy, Lago Maggiore to be precise. We took the winding roads curving the long coast of Lago Maggiore and visited some of the many cities around the region. There are plenty of hotels, villas, apartments and […]
A nice walk near Möriken-Wildegg…
Feels Like Summer!!! My family and I couldn’t resist the beautiful day brought upon us. It has been incredibly summer-like here in Switzerland. These past few weeks have been so warm and enjoyable that the only thing left to do is to go for a walk, hike, stroll, bike, you name it, and soak up […]
@#$%^&* Crap, it has been a while…

Oh, it totally was for me, but hey, totally welcomed, this baby is….okay I just pulled a Yoda! Anywho… Lots of things have been happening since December, including all the puking […]
