Summer Window Shopping in Anacapri

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Shop Anacapri

 

With lovely streets lined with flowers, designer boutiques, and tempting shops of all kinds, the island of Capri is certainly a shopper’s paradise. While I have to admit I am not much of a shopper in general, I just love walking up and down the streets of Capri and Anacapri admiring the gorgeous window displays. There is a small side street in Anacapri where the displays spill out onto the street, with each shop seeming to compete in beauty and eye-catching design with the next. The one above certainly caught my eye!

Even the florist on this street had a beautiful display that sent heavenly scents up and down the street. While I would have needed a much  larger pocketbook to do any serious shopping, I certainly enjoyed taking in the beautiful displays!

 

Where do you like to go window shopping?

    I so loved going to Capri on our trip 2 years ago…I think it was my favorite place-the cliffs, the style, the PASTRIES, the restaurants, the views….we even saw Barbara Streisand strolling around town!

    Ciao Anne! Yes, I agree the window shopping in Paris sounds delicious! 🙂

    Ciao Linda Lou! Capri will always be one of my favorite places, too. Mmm… next time I will have to try out some of the pastries you mentioned. What should I look for? How fun to see someone famous while strolling the streets of Capri!

    Ciao Chuck! Oh no… you had better stay away from Vietri sul Mare with all its beautiful ceramic shops! 🙂

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
