Heading back to a place where time stands still on holiday allows you to see some beautiful local craftsmanship. When everything is not mass produced there is a beauty that only comes from a professional artist who spends hours pouring their heart into their craft.
From vases to tea kettles there are so many things which a skilled artisan can create. Finding one of these items is more than finding a pretty thing. You are finding out about a way of life, you get to meet the craftspeople at the shop and you will have something to remind you of the beauty of your trip for years to come.
