waiting to be caressed
Dream catchers at last year's Christmas market near Karlskirche,
an odd stand with stunning headpieces and other handmade things.
Happy New Year 2010!
Hope you get enough shares of kindness and affection,
that your dreams will come true,
and life will be full of pleasant surprises!

Sweet, the sheep at the manger.
ReplyDeleteBut is that a pig?? Can pigs be fuzzy?!
Maria, thanks for teaching me of the Pummerin. Please come back sometime to see my 2-comment response.
ReplyDeleteJust one more reason to see Wien someday. I hope, I hope ...
Ein frohes, gesundes und sehr sehr glückliches Neues Jahr voller Liebe und Freuden wünsche ich Dir, liebe Maria - es ist wunderbar, dass es Dich gibt! :-) Deine Kessi
ReplyDeleteLiebe Maria, muss man die kleinen Schweinchen auch scheren? Die sind ja so niedlich.
ReplyDeleteWe are watching the New Year concert at the moment, were you there? I could not see you in the audience.
To you both, I wish a new decade filled with all the things you like doing best.
Love, Arija
Oh my gosh! Fuzzy pigs! Love 'em! Have never seen such creatures!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, sweetie! May it be your best year EVER.
Had the same guestion as Dina - where do these originate, Maria?
ReplyDeleteA very Happy New Year to you!
The Woolly pig, Mangalitsa, is a breed of pig grown especially in Hungary and the Balkans known also as a curly-hair hog. It belongs to European unimproved lard-type breeds (as well as Iberian Black, Sicilian Black, and Alentejana pigs) that are descended directly from wild boar populations. [1]The breed is admirably hardy and adaptable to mountain feeding and low temperatures.[7] It is also extremely disease and stress resistant.[1]

ReplyDeleteThose little pigs are darling. Like they had a bad hair day. LOL
Maybe that is why the guy has the odd stand with all the head gear. LOL
Peace

ReplyDeleteHi Maria, I have never seen fuzzy pigs, they are so cute and they make lovely pets. Markets are fun and always with novelties, so I must admit I do not go often as I do not like crowds.
