Munich was a charming adorable city with all of the Bavarian charm one would expect. Of particular appeal to me as an artist was the shop displays....

| Sewing ideas....loved the deer appliques and nice use of ribbon. Good contrast agains the military cargo purses. |
 |
| Adorable and only about 79 Euros... |
 |
| The Germans love their felt. And with these color combinations I can see why! |
 |
| Woodworking shop. All woodworking done in Austria and Germany. Priceless. I bought Beloved a mushroom-shaped nut cracker for his birthday. |
 |
| Authentic Bavarian accessories using deer, boar, bone and teeth with some eidelweiss thrown in there for an accent :) |

| Traditional Bavarian dirndl costumes-these were NOT cheap! |
 |

Munich had much to see and explore. If not the main square then the little shops begging for you to spend your money inside. German craftsmanship was well at hand and everything was made with the finest of detail and best quality of ingredients. I could have bought much more than the wooden mushroom nutcracker i bought for Beloved at the store pictured above :).
Hope you enjoyed the window-shopping. On to our next stop, which were the museums....Auf Weiderhsen
