On Tuesday my friend Ilona and I took the train from Brussels to Cologne (Germany) to visit the Christmas Market and the shops of course.
The Market was all around the Dom and very easy to find, just in front of the station ! I will write about the Market on Sunday.
Today I only show you what I bought. The first thing Ilona and I noticed was that there were very few Santa ornaments but at lot of angels, actually you almost saw only angels and of course the traditional balls. For me it was the paradise as I wanted to buy some more angels after a period of buying Santas and in Belgium there are more Santas than angels !
but first I found this cute cat, which hangs on my bookshelf now
together with these two
This funny one I hang in our Christmas tree
and these serve as earrings for my cats standing on my desk
I also found angels sitting on white clouds !
And then I found something VERY special, a cat as a book sign !! Of course I couldn't resist and add it to my cat collection ! Isn't that cute ?
I also needed some more keyhanger, although I doubt we have enough keys for using them
I also bought this little couple
and another angel who should keep me smiling the whole day !
Ohhhhh, I love the cat pictured first, it's adorable!! so are your angels. You have lovely decorations, Gattina.
ReplyDeleteMerry Xmas to you and yours, including the feline members of the family.
Und einen guten Rutsch!!
I visited one two weeks ago and it was so much fun! But I bought just a few things, way too expensive stuff there.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I visited Waterloo some years ago, I liked the place so very much!
The market pictures and buildings are so interesting to this mid-western girl ;-) I think my favorite ornaments were the angels on the clouds.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!
I love your ornaments--so cute!
