Souvenirs de vacances…

By

Good morning sweet people!

I really really missed you! Today, a simple post to show you what I purchased during my trip. Please don’t laugh…I have a problem, a serious one, you know, I always buy childish things … I just love childish colorful things and I can’t help myself resisting to the temptation… Every time I say to myself: do the normal thing everybody does, do the normal shopping in normal stores, go see clothing brandy shops and buy normal clothing for yourself instead of buying these nonsenses but this is me… and I can not make “the normal kind of” shopping…

Wanna see what it’s all about? ok!

From Barcelona, I bought this cute little poster. (The original painting was made by a very talented spanish painter but I couldn’t afford buying the original one) and also magnets to add to my collection on the fridge…

I love collecting magnets from every country I visit and I have now several…

I love my magnets … every one of them have a memory and I have a small story behind  it 🙂

From Barcelona, I bought also this cute little handpainted owl…

The one next to it (in stone) was a gift from my grandparents and it is very special to me and holds a special place in my heart.

From Italy, as you may already guessed, I bought a wooden “pinocchio” 🙂

to add to my wooden dolls collection 😉

From the frensh “provence”: this cute couple of farmers for my kitchen…

I just love their cute little faces. The tea pot you see in the pic above was a purchase from last year trip to Istanbul.

And finally, from the port of Civitavechia in Italy, this cute little handmade door-key bear…

You see? It is nothing too huge and too important…It is not cool stuff and brandy clothing… It is just small treasures that makes my heart sing with joy… I just cherish objects and they hold special places in my heart specially when there is a small story or memory behind them…

Simple things are the best….don’t you agree?

Have to leave you now and wish you a special day wherever you are on this planet…

Big hugs!

Sucrette

P.S: In my next post, I’ll be holding a small giveaway to celebrate my 1000 followers. That happened a couple of months ago but I totally missed it 🙂 Thank you so much for always being here and visiting and leaving such sweet words…You are the best! That’s why….Stay tuned for next time 😉

    You said, “It is just small treasures that makes my heart sing with joy” I think those are the very best treasures of all!!! I am so madly in love with that little owl. And it looks right at home with the owl from your grandparents. 🙂

  18. Jean in NH

    You buy the same types of things I do when I go on vacation. Watch out for those magnets – I almost need a second refrigerator to hold them all!

    We each have something that makes our hearts and spirits sing and we ought never apologize for what it might be…. Each us of us has a story to tell and special purpose for being on the earth none is greater or lesser than another!!! So many of you follow your blog as it brings us a measure of happiness and joy!

    No shame in that kind of shopping – I don’t know how to shop any other way. Buy things that make you happy, not other people. Bright colors bring life into a home. Thanks for sharing your treasures!

    Your trip sounds wonderful! And your fridge looks just like mine. 🙂 I love buying small things from wherever we travel. And if you look around my home, you will know that to be true. I hope all is okay where you are. I hate to hear things are starting up in Lebanon. Wishing you all the best, Tammy

  33. Misty

    Angie,
    I love to buy the cutsy things also. Why be normal, I have not followed mainstream and I doubt I ever will. I still get stuffed animals and trinkets. I like being who I am and I love color, so either take me as I am or not. But if they don’t, it’s their loss. I like you as you are too, so don’t worry what others think. Be free and just keep being sweet you.
    Happy Thoughts,
    Misty and Pets.

  34. WoollyBudgie

    You bought some lovely things. I love them all! They will hold their own special memories for you.

  35. beberouge

    You’re magnets are all so wonderful, I especially love the cuckoo clock ones. I too love filling my house with small things that have a story rather then brandy in fashion things much better to be surrounded by loving stories then the must have objects. xx

  36. Rachell

    Really love the farmers!

  37. Lianne

    Lovely purchases!!

  38. Maggie Hassett

    Hi Angie! Just like you, I love listening to my “inner child” when I go somewhere and look for a little trinket to bring home from my trip. Whenever my sisters come up to visit me, we all go out shopping and call out to each other in the store(s) to see what treasures we found that we just have to have! We also surprise each other with a purchase that will always remind us of our times together. My house is full of them! LOL I love every items you bought! So colorful and unique! Happy 1000 fan! You will double that number in no time at all! Have a nice weekend, Angie!
