Wandering around the world I see the most gorgeous door knockers. Here are some I caught on camera.
a fierce face at Lake Como
somewhere in Paris
an elaborate example in Florence

This poor little chap looks very worried. You would need to be careful not to knock to hard.
in lovely Lucca
This one, on the other hand, I think is offering a challenge to give his knocker a good, hard whack.
another cranky face at Varenna

I love the colour of this door in Rome
my favourite - a little frog
I will carry on with my door knocker search on my next trip. I leave Brisbane on Sunday for lovely Bagni di Lucca, with stops in Hong Kong, Helsinki and Rome on the way.
Oh we have the same taste! I like your knockers!! Different to mine. I wonder if I’ll find some in Greece?

I thought my husband was the only one with this weird obsession, we have hundreds!
We are making our first trip to Bagni di Lucca on 20th September and can’t wait!

You make the small everyday items look exciting, Deb. The worried one made me laugh!
What about doorbells and letterboxes? I saw some really quirky letterboxes in USA.
