Collectibles!

We like collecting souvenirs whenever we go traveling. Some people likes key chains, postcards, t-shirts, crystals and so much more. Us too! Most of the time, our collectibles are breakable items. We had to hand-carry all the way back. We don't really rely on the "Fragile" sticker. Better be safe than be sorry...



Seen here are silvery reindeer and Bohemia crystals. The reindeer was bought while we were touring in Finland last year. Apart of this silverware, I also bought a glass version of a reindeer. As for the Bohemia crystals, we bought them from Eastern Europe few years ago.



Now, these are my favorite items! Lladro porcelains and musical box! This particular Lladro piece was bought in Singapore's Takashimaya, few years ago. This is the second china that we bought. Hopefully not the last piece :D

This see-through magical box is handmade in Hokkaido, Japan. That particular shop sells mainly musical boxes: from wooden to see-through glasses ones. There is also a special booth to listen to its music. We bought this after trying a handful of boxes.



This china is named May My Wish Come True. It is a limited edition and there are only 2,000 pieces of this in the world. We bought this from Italy in year 2005. The petals is delicate that nobody is allowed to touch this piece! Hehe. Isn't it lovely? By the way, the two little angels are butt-naked, hehe. That's so cute :p

NICE! Coke is easier to carry around. Somehow I'm still attracted to chunky, breakable items, haha, tsk!
