unpacking, so far

from top to bottom, left to right: 

• warm, felted slippers from Linz
• little lace stars for my Christmas branch, from the Erzgebirge
• a small windmill from the same place
• a cookbook with tasty ideas to serve in "Verrines"and a dozen of the smallest glasses.  Another cookbook with recipes for mini-madeleines - sadly, we ran out of time to find the baking tin
• a quarter yard remnant of embroidered "trachten" velvet and the matching silk lining to make a scarf, from the Salzburg Heimatwerk shop
• a few favourite pads and pochettes of art paper from Lille
• my friend's book ordered by and collected from a delightful independent bookshop in Salzburg
• delicious (and beautifully packaged) biscuits from Strasbourg
• three balls of Zauberwolle from a small woolshop in Linz whose name I failed to record
