Artisan's Market

It's another gorgeous day today, so we decided to visit the annual artisan's market held at a nearby castle/chateau (Schloss Raesfeld). Here are a few impressions...

Entrance to castle


market includes woodworking, glassblowing, stamp carving, textile products, floral arrangements, handmade papergoods and lots more


silk scarves and felted products


 the moat around the castle




popular bike trail beneath the trees 


We had a yummy (and heavy) lunch at the restaurant located inside the castle and went for a walk along the many paths afterwards. Well, I hope you enjoyed seeing a bit of my part of the world! Until next time!

Beautiful castle! Why didn't you vend there? Your economy has to be better than ours. Your euro is certainly worth more than the dollar! I won't be vending at shows this year...just not worth the expense compared to meager sales at shows right now.
