A Postcard To You Via Mochatini
Hello dear friends of the lovely Monika. Nice to meet you all. My name is Manvi with Mochatini. It is always a pleasure to be invited here by Monika.
My personal summer postcard to you is sent from: St Thomas
The one thing you can’t miss when visiting St Thomas,USVI is:
Sailing aboard Lady Lynsey for a snorkeling cruise to St. Johns.
My way of relaxing this summer:
Enjoying the beach, reading books, sailing, and cocktails!
In my opinion, the perfect hostess gift:
In addition to two staples, wine and flowers, I love to gift the hostess something to pamper herself with such as luxurious scented bathsoaps and salts. I love this bathball trio from sabonnyc.com
An absolute must read book this summer:
Finding time to read a book is big challenge for me. This summer I want to pick up “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson.
You will find me dreaming about this design item from my hammock (I want it so badly!):
Everyone probably already knows this one about me, but I am constantly dreaming about a Cellula chandelier from dwr!
Mon, thanks so much for including me in this fun fun series. I hope you are having a lovely vacation! xo Manvi.

Did you write this post for me??!
It’s got my fave things…we went to St Croix a few years ago and it was amazing. Have always wanted to go to St Thomas! And you’ll love Dragon Tattoo – definite page turner!

Thanks Mon and Manvi for this little bit of escapism on a Wednesday. I have post holiday blues and this really cheered me up.

Dear Manvi,
The book is a must read (I am looking forward to watching movie no. 2 which is now out in the US).
I have never traveled anywhere tropical (how is that even possible!) and I sure know who to go to when I need some ecxcellent tips!
Hugs to you, Mon

Hello everyone, so nice to meet you all and read your notes to me.
I cheated and saw the movie first and am now on to the book. Loved the movie. I really liked that it was in Swedish too.
St thomas is so accessible from the east coast and I love snorkeling there. Julie..are you on the west coast? Fiji is another place i have been dreaming of visiting.
Mon, lets plan a girls getaway to one of the Virgin Islands.. Thanks for having me dear! xo
