International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day (or buona Festa della Donna)! You'd think we would be ready with all manner of links, bouquets of virtual mimosa & more. Nope.

No matter. Here's the official website with lots of great links & ideas. There are so many wonderful organizations celebrating today. Feed Projects is running a Twitter contest through Friday for a beautiful bag. Tweet them the name of a woman who inspires you. The only difficult aspect of that is choosing amongst many--a welcome problem if ever there were one.

For some ideas--fun & more serious--here's a list of 10. Add your own. There's no right or wrong way to celebrate.

Bouquets of mimosa to our friends& sisters around the world. xoxo

Buona Festa della Donna!

Today is the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. Giulia & her editor wish our friends, female family members, & readers bouquets of yellow mimosa. (As a bonus, it's also Carnevale/Mardi Gras/Fasching. More about which later. At least have a doughnut or good chocolate without shame.)

For a little Italian celebration, visit Eleonora's Aglio, Olio, & Peperoncino. Yum.

Bouquets of Yellow Mimosa on International Women's Day

To all our friends--near & far--on International Women's Day! We are reduced to using last year's illustration but we are no less sincere in our good wishes. For an Italian-American-living-in-Italy perspective, please visit one of our favorite blogs, Bleeding Espresso.

ciao-meow & baci!
