The 366 Project: November

 

It's just two weeks ago that I posted my 366 project for October, and here we are in December and it's time for the November 366. The month began in France, took us to Belgium and the North of Germany and finally back to California.


As you can see, there's a beautiful coffee mug in these collages, and that is my first ticket for Bleubeard and Elizabeth's T Tuesday. My daughter brought this mug from South Africa where she attended a congress in her beloved Cape Town in September, and she gave it to me while we were in Münster.

Get ready for some random pictures that I took in Münster. My daughter told me that I need to go to Dille & Kamille, a Belgian shop that has a few stores in Germany as well. I was very tempted to get one these houses (you put a tealight in it) since they don't only look like buildings in Bruges or Ghent, but also like the ones in Münster. However, in the end I only bought a tiny ornament.

At the other end of Prinzipalmarkt was a cheese shop where they sold Gouda in all kinds of flavor. You can tell that the Netherlands aren't far from Münster...

My daughter's flat is above an Italian ice cream parlor (called "Eisdiele" in German), and when the weather was nice, we sat on the patio and enjoyed some wonderful Eisbecher (sundae).

Or would you prefer German cheesecake (not made with cream cheese, but with Quark) or Tiramisu?

Of course I had to visit my favorite clothing store, Gudrun Sjøden, a Swedish company. The walls are full with pictures of their patterns and even the stairs had the flower pattern on some steps.


While I was looking around, the Geek was served coffee - nice touch for the waiting husband - while he sat at the table chatting with Kaefer.


A cozy little corner to sit in one of the little alleys close to the Dom.


If nature calls in this café, you know where to go.


Especially if you had a few of these delicious cocktails, a Hugo. This is an alcoholic aperitif that originated in South Tyrol and is very popular in Northeastern Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Germany. It is based on prosecco, elderflower syrup, seltzer or sparkling water and mint leaves. My second ticket for T Tuesday.


A pillow I saw in Kaefer's neighborhood bakery - "lovely that you are here".


I wish all of you a lovely last month of the year and leave you with this shot that I took this morning in my front garden. The sun always rises.
