Today is International Women's Day, in Italy is called the Festa della Donna. It is a day set aside to appreciate women, acknowledged their accomplishments, and say "thank you for all you do". It is the Italian custom to hand out sprigs of mimosas to the important women in your life. A beautiful vase of mimosas are resting on my kitchen table top, a gift from my thoughtful husband.To all the mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, aunts, cousins and girlfriends out there, take a moment for yourself today.
Buona festa della donna!

Auguri :) And yes, it's been considerably warmer down here--mildest winter that even the oldest village residents can remember, which is saying a lot since normal winters are extremely mild compared to my Pennsylvania mountain standards ;)
Happy Women's day to you! What a beatiful bunch of flowers.
Happy Woman's Day. Too bad it is not celebrated here.
P.S. I love those flowers too
Happy woman's day! What a great day to celebrate, to give women beautiful flowers and basically to start celebrating spring...
:) I love the strawberry cake answer.. (you might find the other answers really funny now too)

Here too we give Mimosas on this day. I celebrated with 20 of my friends at a beautiful restaurant and we ate outside on the terrace. It was amazing!

Today is also International Kidney Day, or something like that.
Happy Women's Day to everyone!
Unfortunately, we don't celebrate it in the US, like in Italy, but I guess I will just have it in my mind! Beautiful mimosas!
Ciao!
