Walking through Hoi An, these handmade signs caught my attention. The woven straw plates, the colorful lanterns, and the setting around them created one of those scenes that makes you stop for a second and wonder what it would be like to sit down and make one yourself.

I didn't take the class that day, but the moment was too good to pass up.

Lantern Making Class captures something I love about traveling the unexpected details you find when you're simply walking around with nowhere specific to be. It's not the grand landmark that always stays with you. Sometimes it's a small corner, a handmade sign, or a collection of lanterns that tells you exactly where you've been.

Hang this in your home and eventually someone is going to ask, “Where was this taken?”

And that's part of the fun. Your walls don't just have to match the furniture—they can tell a few stories about the places you've seen, the roads you've taken, and the experiences that made the trip worth remembering.
