Luxembourg Escape 3

I just got back from a lovely walk in a National Park just over the border in Holland, with wild geese, horses and calves which I'll share photos of soon. In the meantime here are a few more snaps from our trip to Luxembourg. A ruined castle with fun sculptures, fancy this horse galloping across your lawn! Personally I'd rather have a real one, but maybe without the galloping part!

Also photos of Luxembourg, the city!



I've got lots of new projects on the go behind the scenes, many I want to share all at once, but time is needed to finish and perfect and I do love secrets :) See you soon, Hugs, Catherine x

Luxembourg 2 - Vianden Castle

Today I hope to have a full day making and finishing my new Bear, so watch this space! In the meantime follow me back in time for another castle from our trip to Luxembourg, this is Vianden Castle. They had all the old armour, can you imagine trying to walk with that on! Follow THIS link to find out more about the history of Vianden.









New Bear and I will see you back here soon, Catherine x

Luxembourg - Valley of the Castles

Last weekend we spent a few days in Luxembourg, which borders on Belgium. It is a small but very beautiful country, with wide open landscapes, forests with sparkling rivers through them and lots of Castles. I'll start our journey with Ansembourg Chateau, privately owned so you can't visit the inside of the Chateau but the gardens are open for free. It was rather run down in places and a lot more could have been made of the gardens. However I was captivated by the little turreted buildings and dreamt of having one as a little craft studio! There was one strip in the garden that had been planted up that was so pretty with roses and sweet peas. I hope you enjoy escaping into this magical place.








More photos of the rest of the trip to follow. Behind the scenes my new Bear can now see and smell, she just needs some ears, so I hope to have her all ready to show some time next week! In the meantime don't forget my SALE over at Etsy. Have a lovely weekend, Catherine x
