Traveling to Abruzzo Italy

I’ve been MIA lately because we are traveling to Abruzzo, Italy and London, England! I can’t wait to tell you about our trip and show you some beautiful pictures of the green heart of the Italian countryside as well as some palacious palaces we have seen and are currently staying at! Here’s a little sneak peek-

Abruzzo- The green heart of Italy

Abruzzo is a unique area of Italy that is surrounded by the Majalla mountains on one side and the Adriatic Sea on the other! You can literally ski in the mountains in the morning and stand in the beautiful turquoise blue water in the afternoon!

Castles Palaces and Old Churches

There are castles and Palaces and spectacular old churches in this part of Italy in every town nook and cranny! Be prepared to walk and walk and walk! The people are so friendly here and really want to share things about their country.

Stay tuned

I will be sharing more about the trip in the coming weeks. I am curious to know what you my readers might be interested in hearing about first? Abruzzo the area? The castles and palaces? Maybe it’s the food? My travel tips? I would love to hear from you about what you would be interested in reading and seeing pictures of. Please leave a comment and feel free to mee know.

Ciao! Karin 🙂

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
