Vagabond Heart

During our travels, I collect postcards and ornaments for our Christmas tree and my daughter collects travel stickers for her laptop case. When I heard about Vagabond Heart I fell in love with their stickers and patches. They are beautiful colors and a great way to document your travels. I have a travel journal these will look great in and I plan to put the ones for Paris and Spain on my vision board since those are two places in Europe I haven’t visited yet.

What I wanted was something that had a bit more style, I wanted luggage that wouldn’t look out of place on the airstrip in Casablanca, I wanted a 1920’s Atlantic crossing steamer trunk vibe.

Their patches and stickers come displayed on a 4″ x 6″ postcard, and at $5.95 for a sticker and $9.95 for a patch, they’re perfect stocking stuffers for the travel happy person in your life.
