Souvenir

A friend of mine told me about a cute little shop by the name of "Souvenir" and suggested I check it out...

... so that's just what I did!

My Mom and I were greeted by the lovely Victoria...

...who beckoned us to come inside and explore.

Immediately our hearts began to beat a little faster!

We liked what we saw.

There was a fantastic selection of beautiful religious statues

and Santos figures.

There was something to delight in every nook and cranny!

It was visually stimulating to say the least.

My sweet Mom always finds a fleur de lys.

I'm sorry I didn't take a better photo but the felt clock face in the foreground is actually a french beret!  It's got Kellie from Cashon & Co.'s name all over it!

There were mannequins aplenty,

beautiful paintings,

old books & birdcages,

prize ribbons,

maps and travel posters,

and pastel colored seashell boxes!

There were gnomes and mushrooms under glass domes!

Before we knew it we had made our way back to the front of the shop and to the lovely Victoria.

I placed my souvenir on the counter...

and she wrapped it up and tied it with a bow!

When I returned home I found the perfect spot for it...
mixed in with my souvenirs from the sea.

I'd love to know which treasure you would choose as your souvenir?
