This One’s For the Kids

Our trip to Freital to the Dresden Porcelain Manufaktur was really wonderful.  I had a vague idea of what Dresden Porcelain was - who hasn’t heard of Dresden figurines? - but I’d never actually had one identified for me.  I also didn’t realize they were still manufacturing their pieces.  Anyway, the most amazing part of the pieces has to be the hand-made flowers attached to many of the works - especially vases and bowls.  The detail and intricacy is mind-boggling.  So is the price.  So I have wonderful pictures and fabulous memories but no actual Dresden Porcelain.  Look for a layout coming soon.  I’m so far behind and I really needed to create some layouts featuring my kids this weekend.

As I mentioned last time, my youngest is officially in school now so I commemorated the milestone with a page.  I also covered the opening of our local park’s new playground, our visit this summer to the Saurier Park and a recent incident between my girls.

The craziest part?  Everything, with the exception of tools for wearing and tearing the papers, was made from freebies or inexpensive grab bags.  Really.

Tschüss!
