Steins and Shot Glass Collection

My husband and I are avid collectors of Beer Stein and Shot Glass. We always make it a point to buy any or both of the glass souvenirs when we visit other countries. We both do not mind buying both of varying designs as long as it is colorful, unique looking and indicates the country where we bought them from.

Germany is famous for Oktoberfest and when there are drinks, beer glass, beer steins and even shot glass abounds. Our last visit to Munich, Germany was exciting as far as our Beer Glass and Stein hunt went. The area near the Glockenspiel were lined up with souvenir shops. They were all selling various designs of Beer Steins and shot glasses. The steins were so beautiful. We loved the big ones but were a bit adamant to get them because they might break. We settled for the miniature steins and medium-sized beer steins because they were easy to pack and bring home. We bought so many and decided to keep half of the purchase for our collection. The others were given off as gifts to families and friends.

We are looking forward to go back there and enjoy the beautiful sceneries and hoard on more lovely and unique shot glasses and beer steins again.

Fridge Magnets and Shot Glasses

We are a travel bugs and when we visit a different country, we always make it a point to purchase fridge magnets and custom shot glasses. My fridge is already filled with magnets that I need to buy a magnetic board to move the other fridge magnets.

My hubby collects the shot glasses and he has amassed around 60 already and still counting! My favorite so far are the shot glasses we bought from Paris. We are looking forward to get more for our collection. I won't miss buying some on our next trip to the US this February.

Girls Talk - Bags

I am a bag fanatic. I love bags. I just have to have bags! That's the mantra running in my head everytime I see a big sale sign or when there is a gorgeous style in the rack.

There was a time when I had several trunks full of bags. My husband joked that if we ever ran out of food to eat, we could always chop the leather straps of my collections for stew.

Well, this is one passion that I find hard to shake off. Although I don't buy those signature bags like Louis Vuitton (although I dream to own one on my 40th birthday and that is few years from now) or Gucci, I do have a number of expensive and yet, very durable and high-quality bags which I acquired over the years. I don't squander money on things which do not last for long. I am happy to say that my bags are still in mint condition after many years of usage. For me, they are not statement accessories but something I can put my important stuff which I cannot do without.

Here's my fave bag at the moment:
