I have one Burgenland platter and some Rusticana napkin rings in my collection. It's gorgeous.<br /><br />I most enjoyed reading about the tradition that takes place in Germany on this day. That is so interesting! I had never heard or read it about this before and I like history.

Thanks for your thoughtful comments tha...Hi Marlis,<br />Thanks for your thoughtful comments that you left on my blog...I really appreciate it.:o)<br />You had asked about when I was in Germany. I've actually lived there 7 years total. 1971-1974 in Mannhiem, 1988-1991 in Frankfurt and again in 1999 back in Mannhiem. Love the country, culture, people and of course the food!!<br />My oldest son is a senior in college. He speaks fluent German, and will soon have a minor in German studies. He was born in Frankfurt and would love to move back to Germany and teach. I really don't want him moving that far away from me but would never ever dream of holding him back from perusing his dreams. Just a wishful momma hoping that all my children could be happy in the same town that she lives in!!<br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful week~<br />Ann<br />@<br />The Tattered TasselAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098058028603358417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594090260353327800.post-30037075852327064452010-12-05T20:20:47.189-06:002010-12-05T20:20:47.189-06:00Marlis, this is so very beautiful and enchanting! ...Marlis, this is so very beautiful and enchanting!
