..Home is where the heart is..

Gypsy Gems,


It feels good to be back in Canada. Gifting gypsy jewels is so much easier here. The other evening was such a prime example of why. People in Canada are so friendly, welcoming and excited about my social experiment.


I had very different reactions in Europe. The majority of recipients gifted in London, Madrid and Milan thought I was strange. It was as if they hadn't ever experienced a random act of kindness. They seemed to all try to discover my underlying motive while I was explaining the essence of my social experiment. But not in Halifax, Nova Scotia…  See previous post for two gifting experiences.


Until Next Time,


Much Love.

Gift Encounter No. 5 (Milan)

Gypsy Gems,

I am writing you from a Hostel in Madrid. I am sorry I have neglected you all for so long - I have been having such a lovely time during my travels and haven´t had a moment to catch my breathe let alone write you all a message.

London was lovely. It is a loud and busy city - which complimented my personality quite well. Milan has my heart. Perhaps its because my friend lives there, or perhaps its the fact that it is bursting with culture and has food that pleases my palete. Unintentionally, I managed to be in London and Milan during their Fashion Weeks - this likely added to the hustle and bustle.

Anyway, I must tell you about my gift encounter. It occured at the Malpensa Airport, after landing in Milan. I had seen a lovely lady in floral print (my second favorite print - after cougar, of course) at the Gatewick airport (in London). We exchanged a smile at the security check in London. She excerted positive energy - I wanted to gift her an earring, but the timing wasn´t right. Not in security. I had the perfect earring for her, ¨Fallen Leaf¨, with vibrant orange, black and white feathers and a gold charm of an interesting leaf.

Just as I was kicking myself for not taking making the opportunity - the girl in the floral print walked onto the plane - my plane - heading to Milan. What are the odds? After landing in Milan, and while waiting for our baggage I presented her with the gift. She was very warm and welcoming - I was nervous.

I really hope she takes the opportunity to sport my earring and take some pictures. I will be anxiously waiting by my computer.


Until Next Time,


Much Love.
