Jaunt & Flaunt

Mementos of a Life Well-Lived

Vacations are expensive. You have a finite amount of time to cram everything in. That’s why you plan.  

  • Find your destination.
  • Invite your friend (or convince your boyfriend or hubby that it’s in the budget!)
  • Book your transportation – airfare, rental car, train, etc.
  • Book your hotel.
  • Maybe, dust off your passport.
  • Research sites to see and possibly places to eat.

And you return home with photos on your phone that you never look at.

A souvenir that gathers dust on your shelf or never sees the light of day tucked in a drawer.  

And the memories fade.  It’s almost like you never went.

A treasured souvenir is your passport back to a favorite destination, a moment in time, or a wonderful vacation memory. 

Find inspiration for your next trip. Armed with ideas and the thrill of the hunt, you can find a souvenir that’s not an afterthought or a quick grab at the airport.  

And discover how to blend these treasures into your home. 

This unique passion is a surprise to me.  I thought everyone did this when planning a vacation.

When the hubs and I with our wiener dog moved to Europe and began to travel extensively, I researched where we would go, stay, eat, and my favorite, what to buy to bring home.

Researching, hunting down, or stumbling over the perfect vacation treasures was part of every adventure. 

Now our home is filled with items from our travels and marriage. And I love each and every one of them for the memories they hold—from the FREE to the fabulous.

I receive so many compliments about our curated home, filled with endless conversation starters!

I want to help you get the most out of your vacation and find a souvenir that becomes a favorite piece to decorate your home. Or better yet, something you use in your daily life.

Everyone will ask, where did you get that?
