a touching gesture and a ... giveaway??

I am back!!!!!!!!!
I want you to know that I have missed you all.  I returned on Thursday, but I just did not have any time to post anything. Can you believe it's Saturday and I still haven't unpacked our clothes???!!!!!!???
Oh, well... I'll get to it some time today:)

My first post this season is about one lovely, terribly generous and very touching gesture that Bianca from Sarea in bucate has done for me. 
I couldn't wait to share this with all of you. I think things like the one I am about to tell you should be shared with the world, as they are truly inspirational, at least for me.

So... remember the book What's new cupcake? that I blogged about some time ago? It was given away by another generous blogger and I shared the news so that you too would have the chance to win it. 

I did not win the book, but Bianca read my post and she went and bought the book and sent it to me as a gift anyway!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe there still are humans out there????
To take the time and money to give someone you barely know a joy, just because you can and you want to, with no strings attached, says a lot about that person.
She touched my heart. I feel sooo lucky to have met her,although only virtually, for now. I think surrounding yourself with people that can inspire you and that make you a better person is the best thing you can do for yourself. So I am very happy to have Bianca in my life.
THANK YOU Bianca!!!!!!!!!I love my gift.
Here are a few pages from the book:





And in the spirit of being generous myself, and because this book is so great that I thought others should have the chance to enjoy it and use it, I am going to scan this book and send it by email to one lucky person.
I'll be announcing the winner on the 15th of September, so hurry up and try your luck.
All you have to do is leave a comment at this post telling me what you think of Bianca's gesture, and you are in.
Looking forward to reading your comments,

  1. It's good to see you back, Giovanna! And about Bianca..indeed you can say a lot of things about a person by a simple gesture (you don't have the chance to meet this kind of people every day). About the giveaway...you can skip me...I'm not a cupcake fan, maybe someone that really like to decorate cupcakes should have your gift. I'm looking forward to see you posting some cakes because I missed you. So...enough with the vacation, and back to work, please :-))) xoxo
