Vienna weekend getaway - Sunday afternoon and tips

Welcome to my last post about my Vienna weekend getaway. It's a short one since we left town in the late afternoon and happened to get stuck in a snow storm on our way back. We needed 4,5 hours instead of 2 hours from the Austrian border to get home. Lovely.

 {Love their notebook covers. They're brilliant. Mine ist about two and a half years old now and still going strong. <3}


 {I would have bought a pencil case but sadly the shops are closed on Sundays in Vienna.}


 {Christmas always comes so unexpectedly.}


 {Beautiful shop. We found it by accident. The owner is so sweet and really hearty.}







 {These little acorns are magnetic. It's fantastic. We bought it on Saturday evening after our trip to the MQ Christmas market.
On the box it says: "The little squirrel loves to keep things to himself. He picks up the acorn around him and sits on them. Let him take care of your magnet for you, like he he takes care of his own acorn."}


 {Sooo cute, do you see the squirrels?}





 {Christmas macarons}

Hopefully, when you read this, I'll be back safe and sound from Edinburgh.
Have a fantastic weekend!

Douglas Box of Beauty December 2012

The lovely people of Douglas promised to make the December box a very special one with lots of surprises. Well, they really did. I knew nothing about the box beforehand but I have to admit I like it very much indeed!

I'm going to open approximately ten to fifteen doors of my Adventskalender now and stuff myself with Niederegger marzipan. I think there is somewhere a bottle of hot wine punch left, too. Good times.

Countig down the days to Christmas day!
