Flaming Heart

Guess what I found when I came home yesterday?

Yepp, the Drachenfels-heart Ingo ordered on Monday was already there (see also last pic in this post)! So, instead of healthy running we went to the city – I didn´t feel good all week anyways, tired bones, no staying power, must be the weather, I hope.

We got the heart and ran some serious errands and got some fun-stuff like a little Lion as a very handy bag for little Niece (I know… I have to wait about 3-4 years before such a pressie makes sense). Oh and I got another Braunschweig – Lion-City-bag, too. Then we went to the Christmas-Market.

Ingo had a soup, potatoe-soup - he expected a soup like the one his dear, late Granma made, with potatoes in it:

Sorry for the blurry pics (again! - and, yes - I asked Ingo if he minds me posting this pic, he said it´s ok) – hehe, does he have a bit of it on his chin? He doesn´t look happy cause the soup was puréed, too bad, but he got something yummy afterwards. Hackepeter in a Breadroll.

Right beside you could get freshly made Flammkuchen:

This has nothing to do with the blog´s title, I ate the whole thing in one piece. Notice that little onion staring with huge eyes? Didn´t help, I ate her, too ;-) it was raining a bit, that´s why we hid under the roof of a house.

Sadly they took some garlic, but I guess that won´t prevent me from getting another one on Monday – it was the most delicious Flammkuchen ever!!! So yum!

Eek. As I type this, huge snow flakes are falling. Gack! A colleauge said, snow would be fine – on Christmas eve between 6:30 and 10 pm! And then it has to melt away asap. She´s so right! Please not yet another hard winter, not 3 in a row, please, Mrs Holle, aka Mother Hulda (Mother?!), please think of those who have to drive by car to work, ok? Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain…

The way back home, I so love this part of December!

Also inside:

Ahhh….

And now here without further ado comes the flaming heart :

Ummm... this is an ado, huh? ;-)
But, you see... this is really special to me... and before I could say a word the lady in the shop had wrapped it up:

She failed to understand that we don´t make pressies for Christmas and Birthdays but spontanously. We both think it´s more creative and shows “more” affection. It shows you think of how to make the other happy all year round - but everyone as he likes :-)

And you can skip the word spontanously in this case as well.

As you can see the gift-box in itself is a piece of art:

I have looked oh-so-often at that heart on the box of my King-Frog-ring – their trick obviously worked, huh?

Ingo was considering quite some time, too, if he should present me the heart and asked me then before really doing it.

Here goes, a very first pic from yesterday:

Atm I wear it on a “chain” of leather that Ingo made as a provisional arrangement.

Here goes a pic Ingo took:

See, my little, cute King-Frog-Baby is in the picture as well :-)

We could´ve bought a golden chain (the heart weighs 11 g!), but I prefer to give the money to my Bro (goldsmith).

Here is the heart in Detail and yes, as you could see... the heart is the heart of a story!

Awesome, huh?

Oh, boy. What a day!

When we were home Ingo said it was a lot of fun :-)

Happy weekend everyone!
