LATELY - A Fresh Start

First of all sorry for the silent January! I took a break to visit my family in Hungary and I needed some time to think about how to proceed with Orsa Maggiore Vintage in 2013

As you can see the blog changed a bit alrealdy and even more changes are about to come, plus I have a lot of plans with the shop too! So stay tuned, thanks a lot once again for your curiosity and keep up with the good job! 

Hope you all had a very nice January and see you in 2013 more often - I sware :)

If you are curious what did I do at home, here you can check some of my fav pictures including great food we ate, my Mom's sweet place and the beautiful theater of Kecskemet 

(and yes, I am planning to go a bit more often personal on the blog, hope you won't mind)
