Integrating grandma's and my life

I have inherited many of my grandmother's items. One of them is the following scarf. I'm hoping to integrate her reality with mine as I combine my accessories with hers.

I have to recognize how privileged life is. 

backtrack

We'll start today. (Although all of the experience of Italy, Germany and CZ countryside are with me from this summer, which I will try diligently to get to working in reverse order.)

Today was a day at the Karlstej Castle. A beautiful and monumental architecture from the 14th century, it sits in between mountains located roughly 30 minutes outside of Prague. The Holy Roman Emperor, King Charles the IV, had this castle constructed within just 17 years to house his holy relics and the Bohemian crown jewels. (What a piece of architecture for just this purpose!)
