Christmas Market 2014

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!

Annual Fall Market – Yay!

gingerbread-II

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…

wood-I

Great natural kitchen tools made of wood.

Loads of gingerbread and various sweets!

I want to have it ALL!

Yaaay, dolls!

They look amazing.

The people in there were up-side-down at that very moment.

Every possible thing made of wood here.

monkeys

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.
