Cerâmicas na Linha was widely recommended by acquaintances and influencers all over Tiktok but none of that prepared me for the overwhelming compulsion to buy everything minutes after stepping into the shop. Were it not for luggage restrictions, I would have definitely done a lot more damage here. While the store itself is not super large, it's easy to spend hours browsing as there are a multitude of items ranging from decorative centerpieces, ornamental trinkets to practical tableware as well as intricate Portuguese tiles. I was just in Japan marveling over all the ceramics that I wished I could bring home, but I have to say the Portuguese ceramic game is on a whole another level... the pieces are unique (no two pieces are identical), well-made and best of all, very economically priced. I ended up purchasing multiple pieces of tableware (plates and bowls) while my partner bought a large ornamental ceramic cat as a gift -- all for around 70 euros! Make sure to ask them for bubble wrap (priced at 1€ per square meter-- the ladies at the counter will tell you how much you need) to protect your pieces for the journey home. A must visit during your trip to Lisbon to stock up on the most unique of gifts and home tableware, but if you plan on visiting I would recommend bringing along an extra suitcase! :^)

I thought this was a simple gift shop when I passed over the threshold but found that it no. This…read moreis tableware and mugs and crockery. And it's beautiful! Many of the pieces are sold by weight and some are by the piece. There are mugs, cups, saucers, plates, bowls and all sorts of other things to use in the kitchen and dining room. Once I figured out the system, I ended up with two absolutely beautiful white coffee mugs and a very pretty pink bowl. The young lady who rang up my sale wrapped them in paper and they survived the rest of the day in Lisbon and then the journey back to home. The bowl is on my desk.

In my research to find out where I could buy some to bring home, Fábrica Sant'Anna popped up in every blog and article I read about. They have two locations in Lisbon, the one with the original factory from the 1700's is a bit bigger than the one downtown. You can buy individual small tiles to medium sized ones to larger ones. You can buy a set that make up a picture to a large artistic piece that is several feet tall and wide. The little tiles make great little gifts for people back home. I ended up choosing several tiles of various sizes in the same color scheme to make up a collage of tiles. They also have everything from hand painted tea sets to door knobs to big and little vases to chairs and a table. The traditional colors are the white and blue tiles but I found myself drawn to the more colorful ones. They are very helpful and you can ask them if they have certain pieces or things that you want on your tile. They can also do custom orders as well and they do ship internationally. The lady that worked at the original warehouse told us that you can take a picture of what you want and that she would capture that on the tile. Outside of the original warehouse where they originally made the tiles, you can peruse the different Azulejos that they've made. All of the tiles are baked at an extremely high temperature too so you can use them outside or even as a hot pad. I highly recommend coming here, even if it's just to satisfy your artistic soul.

So...first problem: what the heck do they call hardware stores in Portugal? Figured that out, found this one, Uber to the door. Once inside, nobody spoke English (thank goodness for Google Translate!), and they keep all the loose bits in the back room - the staff has to go get whatever you want. So I kept this poor fellow busy for about 15 minutes figuring out what I needed and what sizes. He got it together, spent a couple minutes on his computer, came back to me: 41 cents. We both laughed, I went on my way and completed the repair. Nice guys, good work, very helpful and patient with tourists!

I like cute stationaries and things that spell KAWAII, so everything at MUJI just feel so boring to me. However, I guess taste changes and as I get older (mature?) I seem to appreciate more this simple, understated style with natural colors and environmental friendly philosophy. MUJI may mean no brand, but don't think that means cheap. Their goods are rather pricey, though arguably of better material and workmanship. Many of their clothes, made of linen and cotton and in pastel and earth tones, gives a very soft, natural look, but can easily look wrinkled and dull on one person unless you know how to wear them. If you like their stuff, it's worth checking to see what they have on sale, as the saving can be substantial. This Muji is relatively small, with the ground level for clothes and a basement for home goods.

We had just walked in and we were looking at their roosters, we were deciding which one to get. The colors of each rooster was slightly different. The male worker who was helping us rudely asked why we were looking at all the roosters, we should just take the first rooster on the shelf. I pointed out to him the colors of the flowers were different and we were deciding which one we wanted. He argued with us saying the roosters were all the same. We would have bought more but left with only this small item because we did not want to continue to be treated in such a terribly disrespectful manner.
