This is my granny! She’s fantastic and I’m not saying that because I love her but because that’s the reality. She will be 85 the 27th of March and I want to celebrate her because she’s very important to me. She tought me how to make the best Apple pie!!!

Mirella, her name, is a strong woman and she’s always has been. She raised two little girl when she was 40, after the death of my grandpa and she took care to the family business.

My granny was a antique dealer and she had also two action houses.

I remember the days spent on her stores. Touching everything, smelling the old furniture that arrived from all over the world with her teaching me the name, the period, the material of all the objects. I feel so melanchony when I’m thinking about it!


She quit her job less than 10 years ago and she spend her time cooking, readind, doing cross words and with us! We don’t live in the same city, but I try to visit her the more I can!

She’s a great cook…Her pie, her vegetables, the soups are unforgettable, a pleasure for every senses!


I like to stay with my mom, my aunt ( my mom’s twin) and my granny. It’s like 3 generations spending time all togehther, sharing ideas, lots of laugh and talk.

This evening , after dinner, my granny decided it was time to give to me all the things she put aside for me during those years.

“Now that you have your own home you need all those things, you can have them all, but be careful treat them in the right way, wash by hand the tablecloth and iron gently. Do you want me to wash everything?” what she said!


Rich linens, embroidered linens and towels, antique tablecloths and her glasses collection, what I love the most!

Depression glass or christal… Little domes, little pots…



She made me so happy and maybe she didn’t even know how important this it for me!

More than a jewel , more than everything. She told me everything about all the glass….
“This was your old granny’s pot”, “I remember I used the tablecloth when your mom and aunt had been baptized”…


This is the perfect gift for my new home! I can’t wait to get in and start my new life with Mr B.!

I love you granny!
