This is Raffaele the hairdresser's Christmas tree creation this year. I like the feathers around the bottom of the tree, too; in fact, I would rather like to wear them!
Today was "one of those days" in the salon, with every customer wanting a cut and colour and all of us having to wait about two and a half hours. However, you could sit there and relax, be the recipient of one of Raffaele's disarming smiles every few minutes, listen to the Sacro Cuore bells chiming out carols and get fed panettone into the bargain! We each received a gift, too - this neat little manicure set which I, for one, could do with. I can think of many worse ways of spending an afternoon!

I wouldn't mind waiting 2 and half hours, if I was treated like that. How lovely of Raffaele to give you all a gift...and Panettone..!
Love the tree :-)
I can see how those feathers would look nice as a scarf! Most especially because they are Red :-)
It seems many Italians give gifts just for doing business with them. Great!
You must be very happy to be back at Raffaele's after all this time. He certainly knows how to treat his customers.
Two and a half hour wait in Raffaele's? Sounds like party time. Someone bring the egg nog (do they do egg nog in Sicily?) and everybody dance.
very different to my trip to the hairdresser today.... and no gift either :-(
Yes, it was nice of him, Anne. Hi, Cherrypie. That's exactly what I thought! They do, indeed, Miss B. Hi, jmb. I am and he does. But I still can't get there under my own steam. I've never seen eggnog here, Flutterby, but it often seems like party time at Raffaele's! Hi, Sally. I should sulk if I were you!
What a delightful gift. I can't see the local hairdresser doing the same
Perhaps you could suggest it to them, jams!
