Some people collect souvenirs, but one of my favorite things to collect is a print from various cities I've lived or have visited. They'd be amazing all on one large wall or simply hung in various areas of the home…

Very cool, what a great way to remember the places you have been.
that’s an amazing idea to have all the places you visited and lived in on one wall.
I love this idea, Joy! My family members always bring me back mugs when they travel because I’m an avid tea-drinker…. but now I have way too many mugs! I like the idea of collecting prints. My niece collects snow globes from every destination. 🙂

Love those maps on the top! Postcards are usually my favourite souvenir when I go to a new and inspring place.
I like this idea!
Original idea, I like it very much ! I always take collect soft toy from the places I’ve visited !
Love this idea! I need to get a Chicago map of the neighborhoods, STAT.
Tammis Keefe also has some fun place-themed scarves that would look beautiful framed! I found some great ones on etsy and ebay.
Am loving, loving this idea! Super obsessed with that SF print!
I love that idea 🙂 what a great way to make memories everyday art 🙂
Love the seattle one! Lived there for years and never saw that.
A beautiful plan! I love it. I just came across the book ‘All The Buildings In New York (that I have drawn so far), its a beautiful illustration project from a Sydney artist, James Gulliver Hancock, it is worth a look.

Love that idea – fantastic!
That’s the best SF print! I love it!
Those maps you show us are beautiful! When I bookmarked you page, I was 4 pages down your website, meaning that each time I come on your page, I see first an older blog … which is fun because I read it again, or sometimes I had missed it and I’m glad I can see it now … and today, the 4th page post was about “Beautiful Maps” (June 6th) … so it was fun to see how you DEFINITELY love maps! 🙂 which I do too!
Samsies! We just collected some fab hand-pressed map prints on our recent state-side visit to Portland and Seattle! They were from the Portland Craft museum and are at the framers now!
Agreed! These would be perfect for any interior 🙂

I love beautiful designed map posters! I would see them being sold all over NYC. I wanted them all!
These are beautiful. Each tells a unique story. A unique perspective of a well loved place.
I am with you! I love to collect local art, whether it be a mask, a painting or a little sculpture.

Love your picks, Joy! A couple of years ago I started collecting prints or reproductions when I travel. They weight a lot less than many other souvenirs. I especially love prints that show local landmarks. It’s like collecting an interpretation of a postcard or a map that you would normally see at souvenir shops.
Those pictures are amazing. I love the idea too! You can frame them and spice up your interior.

I’ve been working on a gallery wall with watercolors I’ve bought in places I’ve visited. I’d love to add pieces like this to it!
that is super cool! I always tried to find illustrative artists of maps and cities, but i never know where/how to search… looking on google wasn’t helpful for me… where did you find these ones you have posted?
Thanks so much for including our NYC map to your list!! You’ve made my day!
I love this idea. Just fell in love with archie’s press from Portland and hope to add some of his prints to our collection. Never thought of it as a travel souvenir. Brilliant!
