colosseo

i have dreamed of going to italy 

for a really, really long time.

i am working on making that dream a reality.

allen and i are saving and planning for a trip

to italy to celebrate our 

15 year anniversary in 2011.

on the itinerary: rome (duh),

 positano, pompeii,

florence, and venice.

just dreaming about it makes me giddy.

i am a huge fan of ancient architecture,

which could be attributed to my 2 year obsession

with greek and roman mythology as a kid. 

yeah, i know,

i was a weird kid. 

i was also obsessed with sharks and mummies. 

that's what happens when you

grow up with three brothers and no tv.

one of the structures that i am most

excited to see is the colosseum in rome.

in fact, my love for the colosseum was

one of my very first posts.

while doing research on italy, i came across this lovely 

print of the colosseo 

by designer cameron moll

a close up look reveals that the entire print

is made of type.

i think it is absolutely beautiful.

i may just have to order one for my home.
