A souvenir from each country

On my adventure overseas I set myself up a little challenge: to find a souvenir from each country. I almost didn't succeed (sorry Austria), but a swarovski card saved the day :-)










Our first visit was Amsterdam:

(Clockwise from left:) A cute little clog key ring that the lovely waitress at Pancakes! restaurant gave to me, a visit to Anne Frank Haus, an embroidered handbag showing the countryside, a pair of wooden clogs, a porcelain thimble.

Berlin:
Information stubs on the Reichstag building, Brandenburg Gate, our well used map of Berlin, entry ticket to the Berliner Dom, the Siegessaule statue, Checkpoint Charlie & a postcard of the Brandenburg Gate.

Prague:

This is a beautiful painting of the Charles Bridge by a local artist (not a print). We brought it from the artist himself!

Munich & Bavaria:
(Clockwise from left): A beautiful sketch of Neuschwanstein Castle, a snow globe that Mr. B brought me-it plays the song 'Edelweiss' & the castle turns, map of Munich, a handcrafted porcelain swan (also a gift from Mr. B), entry tickets to Neuschwanstein & Hohenschwangau Castles, wooden tree ornament, a mini pill box with a girl & swans on the front, a postcard of Neuschwanstein in the snow & a gorgeous black lace hand fan featuring both castles.

Austria:
We visited beautiful Innsbruck in Austria & all I got was this Swarovski card...

Venice:
An Italian leather handbag & a map of Venice.

Rome:
A pop-up postcard of the Colosseum, entry ticket to the Vittorio Emanuele II monument, entry ticket to the Vatican Museums.


Florence:
A gift for a friend from Leonardo Leather Works (can't revel as she maybe reading this), flyer from the most amazing gelateria in Florence (& all of Italy in my opinion)-Percheno!, business card from an amazing family owned restaurant-Ciro & Sons.

Luzern, Switzerland:
A tin of Swiss sweets featuring the Chapel Bridge, guide from our adventure in the snow up top of Mount Pilatus, ticket for the mountain gondolas.

Paris:
Clockwise from left: box from my gorgeous Chanel brooch, ticket to the Palace of Versailles, Bateaux Mouches boat cruise ticket, tickets to the Notre Dame Cathedral towers, Arch de Triomphe ticket, Eiffel Tower ticket, macaron box from Laduree, place mat from the restaurant that we ate in at the Palace of Versailles, a gorgeous scarf from Laduree & a Paris postcard.

England:
Clockwise from left: pink Harrods carry bag, lace dress from Top Shop, Harrods mini makeup purse, Roman Baths entry, Tower of London entry, Paddington Bear notebook from Harrods, postcard & info from St Paul's Cathedral, English countryside animals tin filled with sweets from Harrods & a Nandos colouring in picture from my friend Jo :-)

Scotland:
Cute Scotty dog from Edinburgh.

Ireland:
A beautiful frame from Killarney, cute purse, a Avoca Irish wool scarf & a Claddagh ring from the Claddagh jewelers in Killarney (a gift from Mr. B.)

and that's it-mission accomplished!

I will gradually be doing a post on each country & can't wait to share some of my many photos, vintage finds & funny stories with you!


Stay tuned lovelies,
