I Have Your Heart, City

It´s the time of the year again. 
Go into the city, buy a gingerbread-heart and help the Transportation-club. The money goes to projects for kids, teens and seniors. 
 
Reckon this year will be a bit difficult and since I don´t eat sweets anyways, I still have mine:
 

 Must´ve bought it 2017. I remember I bought three, two to give away to family and they likely were munched down 😁

  
This is for "Tom´s Signs 2".

And our Henry 🦁... he stands proud in the cold:



He is sad. No Christmas Markets this year.
Darn you, "Corinna".

Here in the Netherlands is everything also cancelled in the city. This year it will be different everywhere.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I feel for those who make their "big money" in these days...
Btw, my Squirrel was just here getting the walnuts 🐿

Ella said...

Beautiful initiative ... and that "heart" is very tasty!
I love Henry ... in "November rain"! LOL
A little BIG hug 🤗
Wishing you all the best! xoxo

I remember gingerbread hearts, but don't know where or when, I haven't seen them in years.

Sami said...

I remember those gingerbread hearts from Braunschweig :)

Iris Flavia said...

Ella, reckon when you like sweets it´s yummy indeed :-)
Have a yummy day, little BIG hugs xoxo

River, now would be the time, maybe check ALDI - they should have X-mas sweets.

Sami :-) If we come that time of year again, I can bring some (or Karina certainly can).

What A Powerful Henry In Nov Shot

Cheers

Tom said...

...every city should show it's heart and I'm glad to see that Braunschweig does. I hope that Henry and you stay warm. Thanks for coming to the party.

You could always decorate for Christmas with them. I think that is traditional, at least here in my part of the world. I think it sounds like a worthwhile cause.

Since we have to be home for the winter I was looking forward to our Christmas markets as well. But we were put into lockdown for 28 days on Monday, so they have all been cancelled.
There are some drive thru lights displays but that is not the same.

Iris Flavia said...

Padre, yes, this is (nearly) the real Henry (due to pollution the original is inside the castle).

____

Tom, yes to first and, well, I ran myself warm :-)
Thanks for throwing the party, too!

____

Erika, yes, it is for a good cause! And always (not just for Christmas) decorates the swing (hence the hanger gave in and I took the pic on the stove..).

Jim said...

Interesting.

Mae Travels said...

We had some little Lebkuchen hearts covered with chocolate recently but ate them up right away, not sharing your dislike of sweets!

be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com

Iris Flavia said...

Jackie, it´s really a sad, weird year!

Jim, yips.

Mae, you made me laugh :-)

Jeanie said...

The heart cookies are such a good idea. And I love that last photo of Henry. The lighting is spectacular.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Those hearts are wonderful. That's one of the drawbacks of this virus, other than no Christmas markets where you live. That is the charities suffer terribly, especially since so many people are out of work and have no food. Since we didn't get a stimulus check, many people are out of work and are in fear of losing their homes and apartments the first of the month. If they can't pay for groceries, they definitely can't give to a charity.

I think Germany is famous for its Christmas markets. Too bad they have been closed due to the pandemic. I think the cookie sale is for a worthy cause.

Stevenson said...

Waaaa I would love a bite of that heart shaped cookie! Okay I'm lying, I would never want to bite on that to be honest because it's just too beautiful to devour! I remember when I was in high school, I saved up some money and got my Mom a small, cheap heart shape cake but it was super cute! Shen she was already cutting it I felt really sad inside and kept telling myself 'It's okay, it's not mine, it's Mom's" because its just so cute!!!

Visited your Timeless Thursday Entry from last week's series (OMG I am so lateeee) and I really enjoyed the shapes that Ingo made with the carrots! Dropped a comment there too :)

Big big hugs to my dearest Iris!

RedPat said...

It is going to be a strange Christmas!

William Kendall said...

Henry looks regal.

Iris Flavia said...

Jeanie, yes, to both! :-)

____

Elizabeth, yes, sadly they suffer along, too, hope they recover...

____

gigi, yes, they also teared down Christmas trees, it will be a dull one this time...

____

Dearest Stevenson, that is such a cute story with your Mom´s heart-cake!
We have gingerbread-men-gummibears and I will save some, too ;-) Big hugs from here, Brother!

_____

MB, in theory, this one might taste odd by now ;-)

____

RedPat, a dark one in many a way, sadly...

William, he has to, he´s the King!
