My mom found on a blog a workshop where a man in Florence
makes Euro Bracelets.
We don't even really know what those are, but I've been waiting for the right day to adventure over to San Spirito and try to find this place.
Today was the day. Cara, Kate and I grabbed some gelato and headed out
looking for Piazza San Spirito 12.
We walk past it the first time because it is a residential door.
We asked a woman in a shop next door and she said to ring his doorbell.
So, we went back, found Ditta Carlo Cecchi di Giuliano Ricchi, and rang that doorbell.
He buzzed us in and met us at the door.
He knows pretty much ZERO english, so we commenced with our game of charades.
He flattened our euros and put them on chains fitted to our wrists.
We were happy campers :)
He toured us around his shop and showed us all his other
handcrafted, beautiful goods.
He was very proud of his picture with Bill Clinton (below).
I hope to go back soon to get some more euro bracelets.
