None of the trinket or T-Shirt kind of stuff for us.

But I do love collecting "dishes" from different parts of the world, either made of local pottery or glass - but it must be unusual and eye catching. We also love picking up spices etc that are peculiar to the area. In Italy I came home with a huge bag of different pasta spices that I bought at a roadside market. Also olives and olive oil. In France I bought all things lavender!! Also Bouguet Garni herbs. In Spain we picked up more olive oil and spices for Paella. In Greece we got more olives and Greek herbs for Greek Salad. These things cannot be purchased Stateside... so we make the most of it. Also love the Olive Oil without preservatives - tastes soooo fresh and olivey!!

Magnets and usually a decorative dish or wallhanging for our wall in the living room. The magnets used to hang on the refrig but I don't want to put them up now that I redid the kitchen. I'll have to figure out something for them.

Rose what about if you go to home depot get a small sheet of metal...paint it frame it... and place the magnets on it then you can hang the frame.. good idea? or bad idea?

Joey, what a super idea!!! I have the same dilemma as Rose, since we redid our kitchen we don't want the cluttered look on the fridge anymore. I love that idea.
