great suggestions Sheila! When I travel, I love to bring back fabric that I will use to eventually make a quilt someday. The hardest part with that, is that it often takes me out of the main tourist areas to find the fabric shops, which actually can be a good thing. The other thing I love to collect are pressed pennies - I have a great story about getting a pressed penny in Australia, and providing the penny to the guy with the machine, since Australia does not have pennies in their currency anymore!

Cheers,

[…] Part One started us out with a variety of small items that you can find almost anywhere, Part Two covered “the obvious” T-shirts and coffee mugs, and here in Part Three, I will take a walk through my home to show you a few of my souvenir favorites and tell you the story of the “Diarrhea T-shirt.” […]

I have to admit I’m a housewares fiend when it comes to traveling. Seems silly, but I don’t like to have decor in my house that comes from Pier One or Marshall’s and doesn’t mean anything to me. So … an inexpensive tablecloth or small bowl from Provence, wooden lacquered boxes from Russia, delicate woven bookmarks from China — I’m a sucker for that kind of thing.

And tea towels. You can never have enough tea towels.

** mmorrison It’s actually easy to find inexpensive items in Japan, especially at the 100 yen stores (equivalent to our dollar stores.)

** Hi there, Lionel, so please you could drop by. Yes, the carry-on limitations do force us to be creative, unless there’s a post office/Pack ‘n Wrap nearby. :)
