I’ve mentioned before that I like to buy relevant souvenirs when I go on vacation. Not just trinkety tshirts and hats and stuff, but real things to remember the trip by.

Here’s what I picked up in France:

Matching soccer jerseys for me and Z.

We visited the salt marshes in Guerande and picked up some fleur de sel and a salt grinder.

We brought home 2 bottles of wine from Marc Bredif, and 2 bottles of Chambord.

Another Do Not Disturb sign.

Jen and I have started to collect these. It started with our visit to Cuba last year, where the sign said “No Molestar”.. we laughed, No Molesting!.

When we visited Portland in the fall, they had a cool DND sign at the Four Points Sheraton, so we scooped it and a trend started.

At Hotel Des Grandes Ecoles in Paris, they had a funky Do Not Enter logo on their signs, and it quickly found it’s way into the pages of a book to bring home.
