Mädchen



Aren't they adorable? We got them Dirndls yesterday in Regensburg. They are lined, very well made and only about 54 Euro each. The other girl is my friend Connie's daughter, Cheyenne. We went shopping in Regensburg and stopped in a fabric store! But it was so expensive. The knits were averaging $23 euro a meter (so about $28 a yard and a 1/4). But they did have a really cool book on making Dirndls (in German of course). I didn't get it but I would like to make my own.. I've seen patterns out there so maybe one day.
 We visited Connie in her hometown of Meßnerskreith (she is waiting on her Visa before her and her kids move to the states). Her dad owns a couple of tractors and took the girls on rides. they loved it! Her father also fixed my Phil & Teds Stroller and made my month! Someone had pushed our stroller down the stairs when we lived in Stuttgart (they were pissed we parked it where we did. I just realized that was karma for something I did. dammit!) and it messed up one of the back wheels bad. Still drive-able but any day now it was going to pop off. Anyway, he fixed it!

I would punch someone in the face... but that would probably result in additional bad karma... haha

Love the dirndls! Cute little gals. Someone in a "personal mobility device" smashed into ours while it was parked at the zoo. Total hit and run! Maybe we need to visit Meßnerskreith to get ours fixed too... :)

The girls are so pretty!
I LOVE Regensburg. We used to go there a lot when my in laws lived in Parsburg near Hohenfels.
Have I ever told you about the Joska factory in Bodenmais? Glass and crystal if you are into that.....it was great a few years ago.
