Fabulous little florist on a telegenic street in Florence off one of the main piazzas. The hand…read morecurated experience means sometimes you wait a few moments and then their attention is all yours. Also, it means things cost a little more: that's ok too because if you're buying flowers, it's because you're sharing the beauty that is in the world.

They put together a small bouquet in a vase and let me choose my favorite which were peonies this time. Also some beautiful pink and yellow statice, dianthus and godetia. I don't speak Italian and so a lot was gesturing but I was happy with my purchase and thrilled to make my hotel room beautiful so I can enjoy my stay. Gratzi!

This…read moremarket has the best priced plants in the center (€2 azaleas anyone???), and it's so beautiful to see the loggia next to the Piazza full of happy little flowers (and not-so-little japanese maples and even palm trees). There is a wide assortment of outdoors and indoor plants, as well as dry climate ones like cacti and aloes, and many varieties of live herbs (I had a nervous breakdown when had to choose which of the SEVEN types of oregano to buy... the six types of rosemary... my window can only fit so many). You've got crawlers and climbers, perennials and annuals, fancy orchids and 50 cent impatiens. Really almost everything you need is right here at very great prices, like the geranium of your dreams. Thankfully this market is only on Thursdays, otherwise my house would be a live-in jungle.

I stopped in, and had a wonderful conversation about glazes, her work space and her UNIQUE designs. I did not plan to purchase, but I really fell in love with her scenery of the Tuscan hillside with a villa, and sheep grazing in the meadow. I never saw that site, being it was winter when I was there, but it looked so peaceful. She also has poppies in the meadow and sunflowers in the meadow. I got a beautifully painted with flowers piece. This is a wonderful place to get dishes, mugs, plates, large platters, everything one could want. THere are a lot of places in FLorence that have hand painted ceramics, but I saw so much that 1) looked alike, and 2) I could not tell WHO exactly hand painted it. Thus, to come in here and see Maria's work all done by her own hand, with her our designs. It was magical. Also, I do not speak Italian, and Maria's English is very, very good.

Unfortunately, I did not find anything appropriate and a sketch note costs 28 euros for a quality that was totally not worth the price, and for nonexistent service. The boutique lady was very occupied on the phone and with some in store construction, that I left with only a single item after having gone there solely to buy all my gifts from that store. Unfortunately, now I have to trudge around in the rain gift shopping! Ugh!!!
