Graduation Jewels and Autumn

Hot hot hot, humidity, tourists..Italy is a crazy Country in August and so Sardinia, where I live...but 2 days ago...wonderful dark clouds were on my house and after the rain (sun and rain rain and sun, like Spring!), This spectacular light yellow mushroom


Erika (...a young cousin, 22 years old), graduated last July 16 in Foreign Languages and so I'm working on Jewels for her, a pair of earrings and a bracelet
