I finally did a post I’ve been wanting to do since I returned home from my year abroad — photographing and sharing many of the souvenirs I brought home with me, big and small. So, here you have it! Many of the items I collected while treking through Europe were small, simple objects that I was able to associate my experience in that given place with. I will surely enjoy and appreciate them for years to come. 
Alabaster mortar — Volterra, Italy
Pepper pendent — Naples, Italy
Puppet hands — Naples, Italy
Prayer beads — Istanbul, Turkey
Hand-made beaded necklace — Barcelona, Spain
Various holy medals — All over the place!
Cork — Florence, Italy (from my last night)
New and old prayer cards — Italy
Rocks, marble, fresco — Italy, Greece, France
Eiffel Tower figurine — Paris, France
Matchbook — Amsterdam, Netherlands
Tea glasses — Istanbul, Turkey
Bracelets — Florence, Italy & Barcelona, Spain
Money — Turkey, Czech Republic
Leather notebook — Florence, Italy
Tragically broken water pipe (part of it) — Istanbul, Turkey
Prosthetic arm (just kidding, only the tattoo) — Italy
Every plane, train, bus, museum, movie, and concert ticket, map, program, and even some receipts from all over Europe
What made it all possible, my passport!
Ok I have to tell you I really really enjoyed this post. You brought a ton of stuff back… This is Jessica by the way.
Thanks Jessica! I guess I was kind of a hoarder while I was there…
