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! 🙂

What a moving experience yesterday morning to see What a moving experience yesterday morning to see the Olympic torch in Amalfi. 🔥 One of the many many reasons I love living right in the center of Amalfi is that in one minute I can be in the middle of making pasta with artichokes and the next watching a historic moment happen. I never take that for granted! @milanocortina2026 @olympics

Lovely new Christmas ornament created by @illustra Lovely new Christmas ornament created by @illustrationbyjonathan of Jane Austen’s House in Chawton and her tiny 12-sided writing table. It looks exactly like the beautiful spring day when I was there in April this year. Such a beautiful memory! I think this will have to stay out all year.
Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen! One of the de Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen! One of the definite highlights of my year was visiting @janeaustenshouse in Chawton on a beautiful spring day. I still think of her tiny writing table and what it felt like to stand there and take it all in. I’ve enjoyed the book “A Jane Austen Year” throughout the year - pulling it off the shelf at the start of each month. While at Chawton, I picked up the embroidery kit by @abigailrosecreative made to celebrate the 250th celebration. I’ve been wanting to learn to do embroidery for years, so this was the perfect souvenir from Jane Austen’s House. Still a work in progress, but I’m nearly there! 🧵🪡
I don’t know how to begin describing Naples, which I don’t know how to begin describing Naples, which is how I felt seeing “Partenope - Musica per la sirena di Napoli” at the @teatrosancarlo yesterday. This opera in one act was written by the great Ennio Morricone 30 years ago, and it was finally performed for the first time this weekend. Just in time for the 2,500th anniversary of the founding of Naples. Mary Oliver wrote: “A town cannot live on dreams.” I was thinking about that line yesterday and wondering if maybe a town could live on mythology. 2,500 years later, Naples might just be proof that it can.

As 2025 winds down, I’ve been making my way throug As 2025 winds down, I’ve been making my way through some of the books sitting unfinished on my bedside table. I usually finish a book once started, but occasionally I come across one that is so good I can’t let myself rush through it all at once. I want to hang on to that first read as long as I can, slowly savoring the way it changes the geography of my mind.

This autumn that has been “Upstream” - a selection of essays by Mary Oliver. If “attention is the beginning of devotion,” as Oliver writes in the first essay in the book, I am deeply devoted to her writing. Few writers capture my attention and hold it the way she does. This will be a book I know will return to again and again. And, even though I’ve finished, it might be a long time before it leaves my bedside table. I’ll just leave you with a couple of Oliver’s magical lines:

“You must not ever stop being whimsical.

And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.”
