Florence

magpie tales

they carry the memories
the scent of Florence
arthritic fingers
ease into elegance
youth is restored
dreaming of via guicciardini

I love the floating feeling I have after reading your Magpie ~ planning a trip to Italy next summer and this provided a lot of inspiration! Happy New Year.

Ah, memories and the scent of Florence. Lovely.

I like the 'youth restored' bit. I suppose gloves would do that to arthritic hands. Nice Magpie.

Wonderful! This brought back memories of Florence in June of '78. The damp early morning chill, and a quiet walk to find hot coffee before the tourist crowds sullied the streets. Memories for certain!

This is a lovely memory piece..and I bought some leather in Florence, too..

Italian leather is luxury, and
the smell of any leather puts
the sense memory into gear,
but gloves from Florence
were sprinkled with magic
dust and essence of fine wine;
a lovely piece, and a nice
take on Tess's prompt.

lovely magpie.

Leather gloves carry memories more than any other article of clothing, as the owner's hands leave indelible sculpture...
