Oh, how I love this time of year.
All the lovely holidays, all the lovely food around, the punch, the mulled wine, the friendly atmosphere, the joy, the anticipation – I just love it all.
Sure, the Christmas market is one of the highlights of this season for me.
And you know what?
In our city, it’s just started.
And you know what?
We have already been there?
We visited Vienna on Sunday.
The point was just to wander around a little.
Oh, how I love that place.
It’s simply stunning!
Frankly, there are two reasons why visiting Vienna is always a pleasure for me – the buildings are unique, magnificent and so full of history and the ice-cream is just lovely.
I hope you didn’t expect any more sophisticated reasons.
The folks over there seem to take pride in their deep and colorful history.
Don’t they look nice?
I also found these girls.
They are undergoing construction and look all excited about it.
I had never thought I’d ever find this much beauty under scaffolding.
Oh, and look what I found!
The Christmas Market has already started.
There’s punch, mulled wine and gingerbread overload.
Holy yum!
And then there was this cat.
I just had to show it to you.
And this inspirational felted bag.
And this crafty happy birdie.
Love it!
Dear Vienna,
I am really glad that you exist.
Hope to see you soon.
Petra
Your devoted and maniacal visitor.

Isn’t that fun?
