After Montecatini, we went to Lucca, which is also part of Tuscany.
It was a nice, laid back town and I felt that everyone who was there was also on vacation π Like this man π
And this little girl who was dancing with her doll as music played in the piazza.
One of the many churches in Lucca |
Beautiful architecture. Note the lancet “arches” on the brick building
The best thing about being in Lucca was the weekend market! π All these antiques were out on display from different vendors. If you must know, I loooove scouring through antiques– I’ve found many good pieces in markets like this one!
I would’ve bought that mini bureau (or what is that called– the one with floral details) if I could find a way to ship it to the Philippines π
There’s a lot of junk, but there will always be treasure π I found my “treasure” in one of these stalls above.
Meanwhile, my brothers and I wanted this chair too π
To show our love for all things British π |
It’s a nod to the upcoming Royal Wedding hahaha π
Ahhh it was such a beautiful day in Lucca. I wish my weekends would entail these kinds of trips!
And this was what I brought home π
I have been collecting these mini glass jewellery cases for some time now and it’s getting so hard to find them– and they’re getting rather expensive too π
This particular piece dates back to the 1870s- 1880s π The last one I scored was at an antiques fair in Beaune, France. So finding this piece was a real score and is a most welcome addition to my little antique glass cases family π

That’s a very nice place. I always thought of a Tuscan vacation too. Well, next to a Cupriot or Grecian vacation that is. Ohhhh.. we need some saving to do! π

i wanted to buy it π
