As I mentioned in my previous post, the shops at Tallin's Old Town are charming and such a delight to visit. I love that their crafts are handmade and are authentically Estonian. One of my pet-peeves is seeing souvenirs sold in a country like for example Germany but their souvenirs are made in China (just an example). Just my opinion, but it doesn't make sense buying a souvenir if the souvenir is not made in the country I'm visiting.

ReplyDeleteoh i love how charming this old town is.
ReplyDeletemade in china souvenirs are my pet peeves as well. i avoid them like plagues.
I agree with you about souvenirs. I think it's a let down when they are made in China. Beautiful photos. I really liked the one of the Master's Courtyard.
