Aww the tiny face mask decorations from Italy are so cute! I would pick the pretzel decoration from Germany I think – my favourite bar food! 🙂
Aren’t the face masks adorable? I think everyone needs one to commemorate 2020! I do love the pretzel! We made some German pretzels last weekend which were delicious!
What a fantastic idea! I particularly loved the German pretzel, the Indian paper decorations, the very colorful Mexican decorations and and the Polish stained glass. Interesting that the ‘evil eye’ is Turkish. The Greeks use that, too. In fact, I have several evil eyes from my Greek mother-in-law. Loved your post! How fun!!
I’m so glad you like the post! There were so many adorable decorations to choose from! But these ones were my favourite. I’d never heard of the concept of the evil eye before so it was fascinating to learn about it. I especially love the colours of these ones!
