It’s not unusual to stop and reminisce while taking down and putting away Christmas decorations. But this was my first time storing away the miniature glass flamework ornaments I purchased last month and I got completely sidetracked with memories of the amazing town of Lauscha Germany and its rich heritage of glassmaking.
It’s time for my annual New Year’s tradition of selecting a word for the year.
As we close the book on 2024, I combed through my photo archives to find the most noteworthy captures of the year.
Greetings Family, Friends and Followers,
Instead of a full blog post this week, I will simply wish you and your loved ones a holiday season filled with JOY!
A few weeks ago, my sister Marian and I set off on a mission to explore the famous Christmas Markets of Europe. We visited numerous markets in six different cities and towns in Germany, Czechia and Austria. Mission accomplished!
Of course, we didn’t only see Christmas Markets―read on for an overview of our visits to Prague and Vienna.
It’s been a whirlwind of Christmas spirit, old-world beauty, and travel fun! I’d like to share a few highlights in this second mini-blog post from our European Christmas Market tour. See the first blog post, Postcards from Germany #1, for the background on this grand adventure.
