It's no secret, visiting England and the British Isles has always been a dream of mine. I'm not going, but I know someone who is. I am torn between being incredibly happy for her and wanting to pout in a corner because I'm not going. Happiness will win out... eventually.
In the mean time, I thought it would be fun to make a list of things that I just adore that might make fabulous souvenirs. You know, Christmas is right around the corner, (and that is the last time I'll be mentioning THAT for a few months!) and vacationing in the land of my dreams makes a great opportunity to get those things that are a little harder to come by on this side of the pond.
There are several European designers that I have always admired. I came upon some of Emma Bridgewater's beautiful ceramics years and years ago. I love them to pieces. Granted you can get a few pieces on Amazon, but the selection is very limited. If you have been reading this blog for very long, you also know I have a dish addiction. There are so many beautiful patterns and designs available, my only problem is storage, but I have a basement with shelves and I am not afraid to fill it. Give me all the crockery please!
This is one of her oldest lines and I loved it the moment I saw it so many years ago.
The blue and white is gorgeous, and that Daddy mug, so sweet!
Earl and I seriously love watching the birds at our feeder. We have one that hangs outside our living room window and the sound of their songs and chirps as they eat is so sweet and relaxing. So it's no surprise that I love these bird mugs.
But then again, I love my chickens too. Morning coffee in these? Yes!
Would this fit in a carry on? *sigh*
I know some of these are no doubt discontinued, but I KNOW this traveler knows what I love :)
What is your dream destination? Have you been there?
