Dear Readers:
ReplyDeleteAnother re-post, I know,
but I am exhausted and am not even sure I will ever take another photograph again. ;-)
I wish you all a wonderful Sunday,
Merisi
I am so happy to see the "winkie" after your remark above! Your followers would no doubt organise a protest march along Graben!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the guglhpf look tempting - I discovered they make an excellent base for a trifle. And that's no trifling matter at Christmas!
Love it! I miss Demel...

Elizabeth,
I am sort of torn, I could be there in no time, but need to hold myself back and better take care of duties. The semester ended yesterday and I have a lot of back-log to work through. Christmas getting closer, I better be good! ;-)
Hi Merisi!
ReplyDeleteIt's a quiet morning and I'm indulging in a cup of warm, English toffee coffee and my favorite blog sites. Your pictures today remind me of how Europeans make even the smallest items seem special. Packaging of everything is so beautiful. Lesson re-learned today: Find or create beauty in every little thing that you do. Wishing you some precious "catch-up" time and rest. There would be a void in "blog-landia" if you quit taking and sharing pictures.
Winter hugs,
~Allie
Totally Yummy!
ReplyDeletewho needs new pictures?
Allie,
ReplyDeletethank you! :-)
Paris Breakfasts:
"Who needs new pictures?"
Extactly, I am asking that myself more and more.
And it's nice and warm in there I imagine, in case there is snow outside.
ReplyDeleteCharles Gramlich,
ReplyDeleteyes, warm and the air perfumed with chocolate and coffee! ;-)
I don't mind having a 'second slice' of a re-post at all...It is every bit as delicious. Rest well and enjoy the season, Merisi!

Gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteOh, this is lovely, repost or not. I'll take the hand-whipped cream, of course, and I love that last, blurry action photo. Like a dream--a perfect reverie.
ReplyDeleteRest up, Merisi! bisousxo

ReplyDeleteOh lalalala ! Demel ! The Pastry (Pâtisserie) of Wonderland ! Fantastic ! One of the "Must" of Wien ! Thank you Merisi for these photographies.
