my 2016 travel dreams in watercolors

happy, happy new year! 

i hope 2016 found you well, healthy, in good company and with a brand new list of resolutions in your pocket.

of course i've done mine. it's thinner than usual, as i'm gonna spend most part of my free time and energy {not to mention savings} organizing the wedding {missed something? check this post}, at least for the first time of the year.

anyway, it doesn't mean that this narrow version of the new year's to do-list is lacking a chapter entirely dedicated to travels.

i tried to keep it real, and still don't know if they are achievable or not, but these are currently my travel dreams for 2016: 

provence

before choosing Sicily as the destination for our lambretta road trip last summer, Marco and i briefly considered going to southern France. since then, i've been daydreaming about lavender fields, blue shutters and charming countryside. i bet Provence landscape and our lambretta would get along just fine. 

2015 illustrated calendar

this year has been intense. something new started, something grew stronger, and other things came to an end. 

in these days i'm making a list of good intentions for the new year, i hope this little present helps you doing yours: it's a calendar i illustrated for cosebelle mag, you can download it here and i hope it brings you luck and beautiful things for 2015. 

with love, Silvia

2013 herbarium

this year i've been collecting intense moments, lots of pictures, plus some leaves and flowers. so i decided to arrange them all in a little herbarium, which is also a photo album.

it seems a nice idea to collect memories from the past year, so i'm sharing some pages with you. hope you like it!

in some cases, i matched the photo and the flower because they belong to the same day, in others, i let colors and feelings inspiring me the match.

to paraphrase Neil Gaiman, i wish your 2014 to be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. don't forget to sing, to laugh, to sip some good wine, to call someone you haven't talked to in a long time. may you kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful. hope you read some fine books and receive some snail mails. i wish you to travel to a place you've never been to, and, finally, to find a way to surprise yourself, once again
