Stone

I always try to purchase local arts and crafts when i travel

What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?

Whenever i travel i always like to purchase a piece of local art or craft as a reminder of that visit as well as it being a lasting memory.

A stone couple, from Polis in Cyprus

Without doubt Cyprus is my favourite place on the planet. Where we stay is off the tourist path and we have such a good relationship with the locals. We love the place. I always purchase, photos, fabric or locally made produce as a reminder. However this one year we were walking along the seafront when we saw probably three or four little stone sculptures made from stones off of the local beach, with a little sign saying, “ please take a stone with our love” Now who could resist such an offer from such lovely people. We took the one of a couple, as it looks as if they are walking just as we were that very day. (We didn’t have such fine hats though 😂)

This stone now has pride of place in a flower barrel in our garden. A constant reminder of warm, pleasant days in our happy place.

So simple, so special. Memories, yours to keep forever.

Have a wonderful day 🙏
