Doctor Who quote

"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and... bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant. And we definitely added to his pile of good things."

Day of Delirium #367 - Polish Gifts

Before our trip to Poland, I looked up if there was anything special I should seek out while I was there to bring home as souveniers.

I found the list of 10 things to get in Poland and since Christmas is next week, this seems an appropriate post.

I did pretty good with the list and I share with you some photos of the list items and other things I found.

 Polish Pottery - I knew I wanted a piece of pottery but nothing big.
So this spoon rest was perfect. Small and I get to see it every day on my oven.
I just love the colors and painting.

Pins are my down fall as far as souveniers, and Poland almost let me down as apparently pins are not as big in Poland as one would hope. But I found this one and I am grateful.

I was determined to get a small Polish flag. I never expected it to be so hard to find but it was. This one was found at the gift shop in the Krakow airport as we were leaving. Phew 

My usual purchase on vacation - although I don’t drink Starbucks or coffee at all, I just love their mugs. These are small ones but I love that it is Poland and my favorite town we visited.


I always try to get a horse related item also on my vacations. This one was handmade in Krakow and has the city scape on it. Basically a soft ornament but I thought it was just perfect.

Amber is the most popular item in Poland and I could not pass up this Polish Eagle set in amber.
I did get another item of amber but it will be a Christmas gift to me from my Mom, so we will have to wait until after the holidays for me to share it with you here.
