I love to wander along our Christmas market here in Rothenburg. It is in the middle of our mediaeval town and it has the most wonderful atmosphere you can think of .Confessing, it might be a little crowded at the weekends, but in the evenings and on weekdays you can loiter from booth to booth, viewing what is offered. Here they have unusual Christmas balls, there a straw star and look at this! Finally I get candles in exact the colour I was searching for!

It started snowing and my fingers are getting cold. I am looking for the young man who has the sweet chestnuts. Here is the old iron stove where the  chestnuts get roasted. I get hold of one of the last paper-bags filled with hot sweet chestnuts. On my way home I am warming my fingers by peeling the shells and emptying the bag I feel warm and satisfied.

You really should visit us here in Rothenburg in our shop nearby the market-square. There you can find the hand painted pewter miniatures from Wilhelm Schweizer besides many other handcrafted treasures. We are too far away? You do not have time to come? No problem, just order right away here in our internet shop.

This little pewter ornament is painted on both sides, as being hand made, it will always be a little different in the painting.
