The Rest of the Haul

This is the rest of the pottery we bought in Boleslawiec last October. Some new patterns, some old.

 

Berlin Astronomical Clock

In Berlin, the Cold War was fought architecturally, too. This is one example - a communist astronomical clock. It sits in the main square of the former East Berlin. Kind of a neat design and one I've not seen before.

I saw this at a local cross stitch shop in Poland and bought it online here. Haven't seen it elsewhere.

This is going to be another dandelion piece. I like dandelions! 

 

Gifts from Agnieszka

Cute little Christmas alcohol from our next door neighbor.

 

The Warsaw Mermaid

Warsaw has a mermaid as its patron. This was from a story long ago when mermaids from the river came to save it. This statue is in the Rynek, the Old Town Square. The mermaid's face is based on a woman who died in the Warsaw Uprising. Oh, and yes, it's an ice rink around it. This photo was taken in January.
