my italian heritage map project



My latest little project...


It's just three little frames, 
filled with sections of an Italian map. 


I don't have a lot of wall space 
in my open-plan dining room, so,


When I saw this Italian map
with it's soft and pretty colors, 
I was inspired.

It was only $4.99 at Aaron Brothers.
What a great way to add
a little color to the room!


I then picked out these 
three 8x8 frames for $7.79 each. 
I was so excited to find 
out they were on sale. 


I love the details on this simple black frame.


Since both my parents are Italian,
I wanted to honor their provenance.  
I used the glass from the frame as
a template to cut out the regions
that my parents are from.  

My father's family was from Venetto,
and my mother was born in Molise,

which is in central Italy.


What I like best is that this is
a fabulous reminder of 
our Italian heritage!  

I’m a huge genealogy buff
and love researching our family roots.

This is great reminder for my
whole family of where we come from.

total cost of the project: $28.36+tax

stylish moms

Cute and comfortable, 
that's the name of the game!  

Jessica Alba looks great in blush colored jeans
and scarf and finishes the look
with a bright orange cross-over bag.

 Cute patterned capris, loafers
and a comfy blazer works for Beyonce.

 Michelle Williams in cute sandals,
a simple floral dress and short trench.

 A little more dressy, but still mommy
friendly - Miranda Kerr in a flirty
skirt with colorful accessories.
Don't forget a cute pair of sunglasses!
