Guess what? You can love your state and not look like you've been shopping at local truck stop, plus those state "welcome centers" are way overpriced.
States United LP by Beauchamping $45
Texas Statehood Necklace gold by brookadelphia $45; New York Wood wall hook by old new again $35; Any State Tote by La Lune Designs $22; A toast to Georgia by JHill Design $20
I'd suggest that state paraphernalia be used and worn in restraint and perhaps in the more ironic sense, lest you want to look like a wide eyed tourist, then by all means.
For the record:
I ♥ Georgia
I wonder if there's anything that just says I love the northern part of Michigan. Not so fond of the rest :)
ReplyDeleteThese are fun! These are not your typical "tourist" collectibles!
ReplyDeleteHow fun is this? What a surprise to find something "state" related but not touristy. No black socks and sandals required, right?
ReplyDeleteTee-hee, fun post. I love the "States United". Really clever!
ReplyDeleteLove these! I have a state necklace - Wisconsin - and it's amazing how many people can't recognize that a) it's a state and b) what state it is. :)
ReplyDeleteI heart Georgia too!! Atlanta is so fun to visit, except I really get frustrated with the traffic :)

ahh I love the Georgia print of course!
ReplyDeleteNow I would like to hunt down some classy Wisconsin gear...
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Great post :)
ReplyDeleteCute.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could even pick Georgia out of a lineup (unless Florida was attached for reference.)
loving the concept
ReplyDeletethanks for including our georgia print, we <3 maps.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I LOVE the Texas statehood necklace! So much so that I featured it on my blog with a link back to your blog! Thanks so much for sharing this, I think its something I just HAVE to have :)

those are the perfect souvenirs! I'm Canadian, but I'd wear one of those!
ReplyDeleteReally like this post...super clever..love it!
ReplyDeleteI got a Texas state necklace at UO for a friend for Christmas this year . . . so cute. I think I've become way more nostalgic for and attached to Georgia since I moved all the way across the country. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a new found love for California after I saw it through the eyes of a freezing Canadian. I'm seriously thinking of a California state tattoo next month...
ReplyDeleteOoh I love this theme! I just got myself a Georgia necklace and just want to wear it everyday.
ReplyDeleteThese are so whimsical. Now I need something for Wisconsin!
ReplyDeleteOH....that NYC hook rocks. That's my home state...love it a lot.
ReplyDeleteGreat find...!
