Travel is in the air and what we wouldn't give to grab the kids and hop on a plane to Europe right now. If you are like us though, you will have to resort to your imagination; check out these great little accompaniments — Europe in wooden block sets.
London, Paris, Italy, Germany here we come! We found these 4 European destinations on MUJI's European site (each set £10). We also found New York, Tokyo and Paris ($14) on their US site.

I gotta say, that Germany one looks a lot like it could pass for a Toronto one if you ask me.. CN Tower, Union Station (with streetcar), St. Michael's Cathedral, apartment buildings, traffic..
Oooh, I love these! I'm an architectural technologist and LOVE LOVE LOVE architecture.
We got the London set at the Tate Modern and the NYC set at MoMA on our past vacations to these places. I didn't know what to do with them... They're great souvenirs, but a bit small to make a good display of, and get dusty so quickly.
The lightbulb went off one day, and we mounted them in pairs in a set of 4 shadow box frames from Ikea. Love them!
