February 8, 2013 Aruba Souvenirs
Just wanted to share some fun souvenirs from our trip to Aruba. I can’t tell you the name of the woman we bought these from, but she rents space in a stall outside of the Baskin Robbins. I think she is super talented and she hand paints all the driftwood herself. The fun, bright colors remind me of Aruba.
A large owl magnet, I think this was $20
I love this little guy, and the colors are so vivid. He was $30 and came with a hook to hang on the wall.
She custom made this magnet, which was $10. It really was a great trip and this impending blizzard makes me wish we were there now!
