Third: the a morise, to lay miniscule strands of colored glass in a pattern on this base blown piece
Why do I love historical novels about Venice? ITALY itself is, to me, the most beautiful place on this Earth. Venice is breath-taking, heart-achingly beautiful, and it fascinates me endlessly. I read anything and everything about this magnificent city, I've set stories of my own there, and one day I hope to visit there and see it all for real - and discover if what I see in my mind is anywhere near as dazzling as the reality - I suspect reality in this case is much better!
Donna, ALL of your books look wonderful and I have bookmarked your site so I can visit it again later and read everything! (As well as get your books...)
Blessings, always.
Abbracci....

Thank you Denyse. So many people feel the same way about Venice; it possesses a magical aura--almost like a true to life Atlantis--that just mesmerizes people.
