Roman Holiday....

I do so love the romantic movie Roman Holiday.
Dashing Gregory Peck and the exquisite Audrey Hepburn in her American debut performance.
The movie was made in 1953 two years before I was born and stands the test of time.
I love to watch it, and usually see it once every year.
If you have not seen it you might enjoy looking and listening here.

It's hot and sunny here and the shopping needs to be done.
I have my market basket, sunglasses and a new silk scarf...
feeling very much like I'd love to be on holiday in Roma....

I found this vintage silk hand rolled scarf in a thrift shop

and after touching the fabric

eyeing the stitching

and opening it up to reveal the intricate design

I knew it would need to come home with me.

Hermes you have some serious competition!

This colour palette will work well with denim and greys

and none of my Hermes scarves are in this colour range.

Plus an added bonus was that it was under $10!

not the $400 that I usually spend at the Hermes Boutique.

I have no idea who the designer is...

if you recognize it perhaps you would be kind enough to advise me.

Is the signature Constantino?

I am not too sure...

All this talk of Italy has made me think of pasta!

For dinner I am preparing a simple sauce made with San Marzano DOC tomatoes,
Only grown in and around Mount Vesuvius,
(sweeter and tastier than most tomatoes because they are grown in that volcanic ashy soil)

spicy Italian sausage sauteed with garlic and onions,
oregano
salt and pepper

simmered for an hour.

Yum! 

The Humble Bungalow is scented highly with this tasty goodness.

All I need to do is cook the pasta and dinner's done.
Easy Peasy.
