Day 6 (30 posts about anything at all)

[forest_choir]

Tomorrow, I'm going to begin a new crafting project: a small cross-stitched wreath.
Went out today to look for red floss for stitching the holly berries.
Very amused to discover that the perfect red colour is numbered 666.

Also surprised to find white glow-in-the-dark embroidery floss.
Must find a use for this... 

We're preparing for the Yule feast on Saturday.
Haven't bought nearly enough apples, potatoes, or cheese...
But enemyfrigate's present is done.
stormsongk's present is wrapped and hidden so he can't peek at it.

My sister W graduates from university tomorrow.
We're all so proud of her for going back to school in her 40s and graduating on-time despite recovering from back surgery. 
Bravo, sis!  We love you.

What is the Christmas Market?

[eviljy.livejournal.com]

Has Frigate ever mentioned what my family does for a living?

Here's a website that describes quiet nicely what Hanover Christmas Market looks like.

We're in the main area, the part that is around the Market Church (which you can see on the top picture) and have been there with our current shop for exactly 30yrs. :) However my family has been part of it for generations with variety of different shops and attractions.

Here's a picture of our shop (from 2009). Sadly daylight pictures never look that good but it almost impossible to get a clear view of the shop in the evenings...

If you're curious I've got a folder of pictures up that show various shops of my family over time and different events, including how this one originally looked before we rebuild it (but the grill is still the same as 30yrs ago).
