as I sipped my capuccino and read my book, someone asked, "Have you read any Kaye Gibbons?"A couple of weeks later I had.
So I posted a note on a scrap of paper from my purse on the handy dandy bulletin board:"To the woman who recommended A Virtuous Woman. I loved it. Thanks! Try her Ellen Foster. Also, her latest is 'On Order' at the library."
The next time I was in, there in the margins of my already tiny note: "Charms for the Easy Life. Her best yet!" (Though I liked Virtuous best.)A pre-Twitter Tweet at my favourite coffee shop!
And now you'll see that I am trying enter into the Web 2.0 experience by way of my love for all things Italian. Here, in this blogspot, I will be able to muse and dream and share my love for the books and movies set there; the food and coffee, wine; the scents and textures; and the memories and pleasures of our family's dream-come-true trip there in May of 2009.
I used to love going to the Italian Pastry shop for tea and a sweet. It was a great place to go in the evening!
ReplyDeleteI have just called Casa Domenico, run by members of the same extended family as those who ran the Italian Pastry Shop and they report that it was approximately 10 years ago.
ReplyDeleteNot long, I might add, after a car drove right through the front window one night after closing.
Deirdre and I used to go there for gelato.
ReplyDeleteI remember going there for coffee with my mom when we would come to Kingston for a day trip!
