Welcome to the Souvenir Bureau. This month the bureau is home to a wide range of old and unusual souvenirs from a variety of holiday destinations and tourist attractions. They have been sourced during my travels, from charity shops, secondhand shops and flea markets.
I have a fondness for holiday mementoes since growing up in Blackpool, a famous seaside holiday resort in the north of England. I grew up surrounded by mass-produced merchandise such as mugs,
T-shirts, 'Kiss Me Quick' hats, Blackpool rock and kitsch seaside souvenirs.
Bureau contents include: handkerchiefs, paper fans, brooches, badges, snapshot albums, holiday scrap books, maps and travel guides.
