I got to see a #tortoise up close and personal! Picked up some #foliarfeed from @jakemacetaichi and his lovely wife Pam and got a tour of their incredible #backyardgarden. Truly inspirational to see what can be grown year round in #Arizona and how he has turned his space into a lush, edible landscape.

Just a couple of our awesome #vintage finds from our antique shopping haul yesterday! Beautiful #midcentury chair and a most excellent ornate mirror. I'm going to spray paint the mirror white and leave the chair as is- it's in great condition (I like the slightly distressed wood). The pillow is from Target We also got a vintage dresser, armoire and nightstand and a ton of gorgeous colored glassware. Redecorating the guest room is almost finished!

The second coffee maker I brought back from #Italy – a #bialetti mini espresso maker! Gahhh it's so delicious!

Didn't buy any clothes or shoes in #Milan, but I sure as hell came home with #coffee and cookware @heykeesha introduced me to the #bialetti on my last visit to Austin, and I had wanted one ever since… I'm glad I waited since my hotel in Milan was right next to a Bialetti store! I loaded it up with some #Illy espresso and OMG you guys… It actually tasted pretty similar to the amazing coffee I've been drinking in #Italy all week! Molto bene!!!

Statue of the flayed St Bartholomew, carved in 1562. Draped in his own skin. Beautiful and horrifying at the same time. #duomodimilano #milan #duomo #sculpture #arthistory
