The fruits (and vegetables) of my travels

I have just returned from a wonderful two week trip to Venice.  Venice is, of course, full of wonderful sights, food, drink, etc.



It is also full of wonderful artisans and their works.  Everyone knows of Murano and its glass, but there are also expert carvers, gilders, weavers and paper makers, among others.  I found some wonderful ceramic fruits and vegetables from Bassano del Grappa in the Veneto.









These look great displayed individually on a table top or grouped in baskets or bowls.  Drop by the shop and take a look!
