Life has been a little quiet … it's winter, we've been busy
and I've been sick. No snow for excitement, no tulips here yet,
just cold temps and life, but wonderful life.
So I looked back to our stop in Germany last summer.
Just some random favorite scenes that caught my eye.
I found it interesting that young people (I was told) enjoy wearing the
traditional dress for everyday and dress-up wear,
just updated a wee bit (see first mosaic.)

Your "totally different" is also totally bright and cheerful and a welcome sight on a winter's night! Isn't it nice to have these memories in the memory bank...as well as modern technology to bring them to the forefront?
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the boots is colorful and very functional! When we were in Germany the only folks we saw wearing dirndl and lederhose was at a festival and in the restaurants. I love seeing the flowers---I think I want it to be Spring! ♥
ReplyDeleteI love all the color! Thank you for sharing these photos. So interesting to see the things that caught your eye when you visited Germany.

When we visited Austria it was such a pleasure to see the girls wearing the dirndls just for everyday.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that they enjoy wearing the "traditional" with an edge. Love it! I also love that yellow duck and all those colorful boots!! Thank you for the eye candy, Dotsie!! Spring will be here before we know it... blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteI like Tanna's description of "traditional with an edge." The boot photo is great! Lots of bright colors here to cheer up these wintry (rainy) days. I hope you soon feel better.
ReplyDeleteLovely and colourful photos. I like the boot rack. Where would this have been used? The plant nursery and curtained windows in the second mosaic are so pretty. I hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty photos from Germany! I like the rack of colorful rubber boots. When I was a child I had a traditional German style dress that I loved. I felt like one of my favorite storybook characters, Heidi, when I wore it!
ReplyDeleteSome interesting and colourful random photos from your trip to Germany Dotsie. I have to say my favourite is the rose peeking out by the windows with ruffled curtains.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.
I could hear Rocky saying that (or was it Bullwinkle?) Anyway, love the photos! My favorite is the one of all the boots. What a cool shot! Hope you feel better.
ReplyDeleteLovely snaps from your Germany trip! I love the colorful photos and mosaics! I hope you are feeling better now! Have a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty photos from your trip to Germany! Love the own with the boots! I must dig up my Italy photos for a post one day.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you too have been ailing with this rotten stuff! I call it stuff, because I don't know what it is. We all had the flu. Despite the flu shot. And then a short relapse. And then,this horrible congestion and cough and yuck!!!! I am a very high energy person, and have been completely zapped of my get up and go!!
You get well too! Pick up that hook again, and stitch up a pretty poncho!!!!!
XO Kris
Lovely collection of cheery and colorful photos! I enjoyed seeing each one!
ReplyDeleteSuch cheerful photos from Germany Love all the little boots and that market with such lovely fresh bouquets. I am always envious of how inexpensive fresh flowers are in Europe... Very cheerful mosaics! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful bright images to help you get better and bring something other than snow to me...thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Dotsie, I love your mosaics! The second one, particularly, is so colorful and makes me think of spring. :) I had noticed the clothing in the first mosaic and thought that was the traditional-style German clothing, but I didn't really catch the updates until I read your post. I have mentioned to Hal a few times that it would be fun to go to Germany sometime. I'm especially interested in the Bavarian region. Maybe someday, we'll get to visit there. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling much better, Dotsie; I read that it's supposed to turn really cold here again later this week. Stay warm and well!!
Hugs,
Denise
I hope you are better. I too am like, what in the world to blog about?! Not much is happening and I am trying to get over an infection and work. I love the boots, how I would love to visit Europe.
