As I look back on another crowded year, I don\u2019t need to consult my diary or my Instagram images, or the thousands of snaps on my iPhone to remember where I have been\u2014because I am surrounded by mementoes of these travels.<\/p>\n

Whether I was rediscovering the eternal wonders of Paris\u00a0and\u00a0Rome and\u00a0London and Venice and Athens, or sleuthing the hidden treasures of Antwerp and Croatia and Houston, or curating HOUSE STYLE: Five Centuries of Fashion at Chatsworth, or profiling J W Anderson at home in Norfolk or at work in Madrid, I always tried to find the time not only to sleuth treasures for my fashion collection but also to source evocative local wares.<\/p>\n

I thought it might be fun to put together a gift guide, selecting dream pieces worth picking up in each location, any one of which I\u2019d be thrilled to give or receive. Without further ado.<\/p>\n

Venice<\/strong><\/p>\n

The traditional local hand-painted pottery is so charming\u2014blue daisies on an ivory ground. Alas, no one makes this anymore, so you\u2019ll have to sleuth out the remaining stock in the stores of Skala, the port village.<\/p>\n
