FabFitFun Winter 2024

Kind of a disappointing box, but I've worn the hat several times.

 

More Pottery

Of course Andreas insisted on stopping in Boleslawiec during our long road trip last autumn. And, of course, we bought lots more pottery.

 

View from Our Room

When in Berlin, we stayed at the Ritz Carlton. There was a pro-Palestinian protest going on at one point in the square across the street. Lots of police presence.

 

Chocolate Explosion

Members of the DnD group brought over chocolate for eating during the session. We didn't eat it then, but have since. Thank you!

 

Flowers from Leonora

Leonora got me these beautiful flowers for my birthday. I love them.

 

Brandenburg Gate

Back where the wall came down. I don't think the Talking Heads ever played here, though. It's a beautiful place now. With too many tourists.

 

Birthday Cake

 

Leonora made me a birthday cake when we got back from our long trip. It was lemon and raspberry and delicious and appreciated. Thank you, Leonora! 

January's Box

Another box of cute stuff.

 

Books In Front

Kind of appropriate to be selling books in front of Max Planck's lab.

 

Prague Earrings

The only thing I picked up at the Prague Christmas market that wasn't food.

 

More of the Road

More of this exhibit. This part was about the way Stalin wanted to unite Germany under his terms - that were about voting.

 

The Road Less Traveled Part 1

The first part of the Road Less Traveled was about the fall of the Berlin Wall. I find it weird that they put the most recent event first; it would have made more sense to go from older to newer events. Like I said in a previous post, this didn't really explore the idea of an alternate turn of events. It was more like - if this didn't happen, things would have been bad. That's about it.

 

Berlin Museum Outside

This was a history museum, but it was mainly closed. Their big exhibit was The Road Not Taken - and was a bit about turning points in German history. We thought that would be interesting, but were disappointed because they just examined the turning points and did not get much into alternative histories. Very disappointing. Great concept, poor execution.

 

Prague Box

It's a good thing I bought this for the tin box. There were like four candies in it. But at least I have the cute box.

 

Another Purse Purchase

This was tote bags as a mystery. I really like the light blue color, and it's the one that's zipped. Yay!
