Visiting the annual Christmas market here in Bratislava, Slovakia has become one of the highlights of my year. The colors, the smells, the happy people, the cheerful atmosphere – what a delightful experience it is indeed. It definitely is one of my most favorite traditions.
Today I would like to share a few of my favorite snaps from this year’s market with you.
Enjoy!
Thank you for letting me share!
With lots of love,
Petra
I love this market!
It takes place every year during fall.
Many, many craftsmen gather to present their mastery.
I especially love gingerbread cookies, things made of wood and ceramics and the fresh chilly air filled with friendship and joy.
And mulled wine of course (a great friendly atmosphere enhancer)!
I have made some pictures for you to enjoy…
Great natural kitchen tools made of wood.
Loads of gingerbread and various sweets!
I want to have it ALL!
Are you very hungry?
Yaaay, dolls!
They look amazing.
“I am taking this and that and that little think over there and this, please!”
Cute pots and…
… six zillion mugs with every possible name on them.
I tasted one of these and it was delicious!
Bling wonderland!
These are scary-machine lovers in full swing.
Lovely dried fruits.
Yummy… , my favorite!
Turkish Delight and lollipops.
Little loveys made of marzipan.
They look adorable.
Teeny tiny rolling pins.
And more lollipops… .
Another scary looking machine.
The people in there were up-side-down at that very moment.
You should have heard that screaming!
But I am sure you can imagine that.
Every possible thing made of wood here.
Then these monkeys (after some kissing and hugging with each other) waved goodbye to me and I knew it was time to go home.
What a wonderful time that was, I am sure I’m coming next year again.
