Last month I traveled to Italy and stayed in Venice. One of the must do's when in Venice, is a day trip to it's islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. I visited them and it was a wonderful trip.
I've sent myself a card of Burano and I'm posting it with a card that Sarah sent me back in 2013.

Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy; like
Venice itself, it could more correctly be called an archipelago of four
islands linked by bridges. It is situated near Torcello at the northern
end of the Lagoon, and is known for its lacework and brightly coloured
homes.

Burano is known for its small, brightly painted houses, popular with
artists. The colours of the houses follow a specific system originating from the
golden age of its development; if someone wishes to paint their home, one must
send a request to the government, who will respond by making notice of the
certain colours permitted for that lot. - in: wikipedia
