Sorrento and the Lady and the Tramp

November 17th, 2006 · Tags: Italy · Naples & Campania

So we’ve just arrived in Rome for the weekend. Of course we received an invitation like the rest of the VIPs here, to the wedding of Tom & “Kate.” In case we decide to skip out early on the party, we have a lot of friends to visit and see, including my friend’s new baby!

Which is why this was a great theme for me this week…when I think of “plush,” I think of rich silky materials and silky stuffed animals. Since our life isn’t full of rich materials right now and I’ve outgrown stuffed animals, obviously babies and soft puppies come to mind.

When I stayed in Sorrento with my mother, we were waiting for the little shuttle to take us down the mountain and a mother and her pups came to visit us. Looking back, there’s a bit of Lady & the Tramp in them, don’t you think?

Plush.

Buon weekend!
