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! 🙂

When I walked by this ceramic table in Praiano, it When I walked by this ceramic table in Praiano, it reminded me of one of my favorite Italian words: garbuglio. It means a tangle or a mess. But not just any mess, a conspicuous and intricate mess. I think we can all find a few of those around these days. Now you know what to call it in Italian!
Completely unplanned, I ended up getting off the b Completely unplanned, I ended up getting off the bus in Pontone this morning instead of Minuta. The steps up between these two hamlets of Scala are quite steep, but it was a perfect autumn morning. Brilliant sun but a cool north breeze and the air full of the honeyed scent of sweet alyssum (which I can spot thanks to Giacomo from @cookeatsquare!) and birdsong. As a little reward to myself for the unexpected effort, I meandered a bit to enjoy the crimson vines and some sunflowers dancing in the breeze. Autumn is coming - even on the Amalfi Coast! 🍂
You have to look close for any signs of autumn in You have to look close for any signs of autumn in Amalfi. Surrounded mostly by olive, lemon, pines, and other types of evergreen trees, we don’t have much for fall foliage right in the center of town. Oh but I look! In the golden moments of the morning just as the sun hits Amalfi for the first time, I’m out there imagining autumn colors. 🍂
This month’s newsletter continues the travels in This month’s newsletter continues the travels in Italy with American poet H.W. Longfellow in 1828 as he made his way down to Naples. Plus a look at Grand Tour volcano tourism and a bonus of 19th-century tips for now not to be a tourist. Link in bio!
Mmmhmm autumn is definitely my favorite season. 🧡 This morning I woke up a bit earlier than my alarm and looked outside somewhat perplexed. The entire sky, the town—everything—had a burnt orange hue. A hurried lacing up of the shoes and still bleary eyed, but I just had to see it better for myself. It was a glorious sunrise. Now the rain has just gently started falling and I’m in full autumn ecstasy.

Later I’ll return to the piano to pick up where I left off yesterday learning this beautiful autumn waltz by @andreavanzo_composer. 🍂

It was fun to see the grapes on the same vines just before harvest begins. Swipe to the right to see the same grapes back in May. Happy autumn!
