Happy Friday, friend!

When people return from a European vacation, they usually bring back the same things. A slightly crushed box of macarons. A tiny Eiffel Tower keychain. Maybe a painted ceramic bowl they swore they’d use for grand pasta dinners, but now just holds spare keys and old receipts.

Sure, a stone house is a slightly heavier souvenir to explain at customs, but the bragging rights are exponentially better. It is the ultimate, slightly-unhinged-but-totally-brilliant impulse buy. And surprisingly, securing a foothold in a quiet European town often costs less than a heavily structured, two-week tourist trap itinerary.
