Hopefully another day. I must say I'm not a huge collector of objects from overseas (room in my suitcase), but I do love bringing home some of the books by authors I've discovered in my travels. I've also managed to bring a few mugs home - and broken some en route, so it is risky! Photos are the main thing to jog my memories. But golly, I do love your cross in particular and your other mementoes. They are beautiful.

My husband has told me no more though as I have several tapestries depicting medieval scenes (from Brugge in Belgium and Carlisle in the UK) and even a suit of armour from Rothenberg in Germany. I have to say they do inspire me to write more medieval romances!<br />The cover of my next medieval was shot on our property with my niece and her friend and a horse in the background, and her friend, the knight, wore the suit of armour. Can't wait for that cover to be revealed! Anyway, the props have come in very handy!<br />Alyssa J Montgomery https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062923136693943821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-35992365165365035262020-05-18T23:33:38.599+10:002020-05-18T23:33:38.599+10:00Hi Marilyn.

A painted tile from Istanbul. A cushion cover that is a mediaeval tapestry from the Abbey at Whitby in England. All remind me of my trips.Enisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14618040099949009436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-74055130316660086852020-05-18T17:57:26.933+10:002020-05-18T17:57:26.933+10:00Ooh!

I especially liked the Welsh lady and your initial stamps. I must visit Portobello Road Market next time I'm in the UK. We also planned a UK trip for this year. We would have been leaving for London in a few short weeks. <br />My favourite memory from our 2019 travels is a Unicorn tapestry we bought in the Tower of London shop. We'd seen the reproductions of the original "Lady and the Unicorn" tapestry set in the Queen's rooms in Stirling Castle. There was also an exhibition explaining the significance of the story, and how the tapestries were made. It's really special to have a memento that evokes wonderful memories of a great holiday.Sharon Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01662544181464130756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-68660113390578726842020-05-18T12:40:18.988+10:002020-05-18T12:40:18.988+10:00I think this year has been a wash-out for many, bu...I think this year has been a wash-out for many, but at least you are trying to find the positives.
