V is for … Venetian Mask
Since before I went to Italy, I have always been fascinated with the Venetian Masks and I have always wanted my own so that I could get all dressed up and attend my very own masquerade ball.
The first thing I did when I got to Venice was begin the hunt for the perfect mask. I had no idea what I wanted, but I knew I would know it when I saw it. (Kind of like wedding dress shopping, you know)
We saw ornate masks, creepy masks and gorgeous masks. I saw the perfect one! A cat mask. Featuring little black velvet ears, sequins and black lace, it was the most exquisite piece I had ever seen. I was bitterly disappointed to discover that the store was already closed.
The search continued – and I found my 2nd perfect mask.
I have had it since 2005 and I have yet to attend an event where I get to wear the mask. Go figure!
It has always been a dream of mine to visit Venice and attend the annual masked balls, it must surely be something spectacular to experience.

Oh yay! That first mask does sound perfect! Darn on not getting to wear the one you picked out yet! I have that with Opera Shoes. I've had them for over a decade and alas they've yet to see the opera! lol
Now those are some awesome masks. Must have been a tough choice for you to select right?
Have a nice day.
Opera shoes? Oooh they sound divine!
It was a very hard choice! 🙂
