Over the past five years, I have traveled the globe with my family and have always made a special effort to find traditional international ornaments abroad. Since we are typically living abroad during the holidays, it is pretty easy to find the traditional ornaments from the local culture. However, for those jet-setters who have settled in back at home, it is not quite as easy to find the authentic, traditional holiday decor of their favorite international destination. So you can imagine my excitement when I found these spectacular globally-inspired ornaments on PotteryBarn.com. When you can’t go authentic, why not opt for symbolic, and find a special little piece for every place of which you’ve been or dream of going. Here is a collection of what you will find at Pottery Barn:
Paper Luggage Tag Ornament Set - These vintage-inspired luggage tags are perfect for the world traveler! The three tags feature Hotel Majestic – Saigon; Hotel Londres & New York – Paris; and Hotel Astoria – Coimbra, Portugal.
Glass British Double Decker Bus Ornament – This hand-blown treasure will remind you of your bus ride through the streets of London.
