Champing in England | Churches Conservation Trust


Champing is the ultimate ‘slow tourism’ escape, after an idea by the Churches Conservation Trust of England - the national charity protecting historic churches at risk. With England’s historic churches offering their own unique havens of tranquility, champers enjoy a two-day, one-night break at one of three (by now ) historic churches, with the building to themselves, surrounded by rural simplicity and hundreds of years of history.
The association is currently offering champing at the Church of St Cyriac and St Julitta in the village of Swaffham Prior, near Cambridge, at All Saint's Church, Aldwincle, Northamptonshire and at the Church of St Mary the Virgin in Fordwich, Kent. - Read more here

Holidays pics



I'm back in Florence. Yesterday, I woke up in Montecatini with a wonderful smell of coffee. It was the last day of Christmas decorations in the street (we enjoy decorations until the 6th of jan, you too?). Today I feel like it's the real first day of the year.
ps: breakfast at Cafè Juè Living, Montecatini.

Christmas still life with Eve


Maybe it's a little insane, but I admit that I had a lot of fun making this Christmas still life with EVE robots. I love robots, dinosaurs, car models, that's it. This is my Christmas confession (for this year)(I'm not ready to admit more!).

Christmas - Inspiration and DIY - 5: Laura's Christmas Paper Bags


This is a nice and easy way to pack your gifts. I followed WikiHow's tutorial to make my paper bag. It's very easy. I started with a piece of brown paper of cm 42 x 24, and I got a bag large cm 15 x cm 5,5 side x cm 18,5 height. You can make different sizes bags ready to use also at the last minute.
You will need:
- Brown paper
- Black cardboard (I recycled black pieces of pages from old catalogs)
- A colored stripe (I used Snomys from Ikea)
- Scissors and/or cutter, glue/tape, a ruler, a pencil, a puncher.
- A silver or gold marker pen to write your wishes on the black paper tag.




To make my tree tag, I cut a rectangle of black cardboard (choosing a piece of the catalog page that was black on both sides). I folded the rectangle in two and I started to cut out my tree starting from the edge that has to be on the folded side of the black cardboard. Take care of not making a too pointed hedge but leave 1 cm at least on the fold (to keep the two shapes together). Then punch it!


 ....and, with left pieces of my old catalogs' pages, I cut other decorations for my Christmas wrapping. I like to cut them without following a model so I can get more irregular shapes.
