Spring is in full bloom here in Milan (awesome!), but so are my allergies (not so awesome!). I'm trying to manage my sneezing amidst still enjoying this amazing weather, but it feels like my allergies are winning right now.
Kleenex in hand, I headed out Saturday morning for a
quick market run. I wanted to get some fruit for the week and see if I could find some flowers to plant in the flower boxes outside my apartment. They've been looking pretty grim in recent weeks.
I was able to find some inexpensive plants to replace the weeds and add some color to my apartment. I'm sure it is a nicer view for my neighbors as well. Now, to keep all of these plants alive. This is the part that I am not so confident about.
Before:
 |
| the weeds had taken over!! |
After:
 |
| so fresh, so clean! |
Later in the day I wanted to check out some of the things happening for Design Week. Initially, I thought that there was just a
big show out at Rho, the same place where the Fiera is held in December. But, after talking to several friends, and digging around on several websites I found
a little information about some other happenings that I could check out. Here are some of the highlights of my stroll down Via Tortona.
 |
| Via Tortona was a great place to check out some shops and designers. |
 |
| Lots of leather goods |
 |
| These lamps were being 3D printed during the event. |
 |
| You could have these Paperself paper lashes applied. |
 |
| Some artists were turning Carlsberg bottles into glasses and other things. |
 |
| Love it. |
