A Different Kind Of Gift...

For those of you who have rented a vacation rental in the Florentine countryside  or an apartment in the city of Florence, here is an article just for you.

If you were wondering what to bring home as a gift for someone then read on! We would like to tell you about the fantastic tradition in Florence that has been used to create some of the most interesting and fun items ever!

Florentine paper making traditions are used to create picture frames, journals, gift bags, etc. The paper used to be used as stationary paper, wonderfully decorated with attractive colours.

However, since nobody really uses paper these days to write their letters, the Italians have come up with various ways of keeping this tradition alive, by using the paper for many other things such as those listed above.
Wax Seal
In fact, in most of the stationary shops, it is not just the paper that is attractive to people.

You can also buy a seal with wax used to close envelopes.

This seal can be personalised with your family crest, your initials, or any other picture or lettering that you would like.

So even if you are not staying in the City of Florence, it is worth leaving your holiday rental villa in the countryside for just one day to come in and see some of these fantastic items that are made with the finest of traditions.
