good night from budapest. thanks for all the comments. we read them aloud to each other in dramatic voices. v.v. fun!





























I love your flea-finds! It sounds like you two are having so much fun, shopping,
eating, drinking, swimming....and the best part for me is that you share your fun
and photos. I think you two should start a travel company and be tour guides!
Thanks for the sharing.

Your flea market finds in foreign lands always make me weak in the knees! I am definitely putting Budapest on my bucket list (for more reasons than just flea markets, though!). Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!

Oh be still my beating heart. I love it all especially the paper ephemera and linens........oh dear me. I think I will just sit here and drool and maybe pout a little..........won't do me any good but might do it anyway.

It was a dark and stormy night in Budapest. Mary Ann looked out the window with trepidation, wondering how a night could be stormy and dark at the same time, given the constant staccato strobe of lightning.
"Come back to the table," her sister said nervously. "Uh, look, we have pastries."
"That we do," Mary Ann intoned dramatically, with a dramatic inflection in her dramatic voice. "Yet..."
Lightning flashed.
"...I am not hungry," she said.
Thunder boomed. Rain pounded the windows. A scream was heard in the distance. Or was it the telephone? One could never tell...
...in Budapest.

Me want the hand embroidered linens. Me more than want. Me LUST for those linens. I have a collection of flea market and garage sale needlepoint pillows. Seems like they're all done by "my grandma". Hmmmm. I have my grandma's needlepoint pillows and would NEVER sell them for a dollar at a garage sale. My studio sofa is covered in needlepoint pillows done by many grandmas including my own! Love your posts! Sis, too! Be sure to read the first part of this message in a dramatic voice. Out loud.

I can just imagine the two of you sitting in the evening, relaxing from an adventurous day reading the comments in dramatic fashion. How cool is that???????? The memories captured in the journals on the table. Side walk cafe's wooing you with untold delicacies; the smells, the sounds, the pure joy of this city. Oh,how I live vicariously through your journey.

This post has left me with a case of wantonness. Untreatable at this moment. Drooling occurring ... need larger towel. Donna

Posted by: Lisa Hoffman | Saturday, August 27, 2011 at 07:48 PM
Honestly, I don't know what's more fun, reading both yours and Carol's blog posts, or reading the comments by my fellow pocket travelers who are also addicted to reading of your excursions. So happy to see baby Buck made the trip too. (You vill read my comments in your best German accent please!)

Ok, so I wonder if I start walking now, how long it might take me...I think I need to dust off my magic wings and leave now...but in the meantime I can sit here and be entranced by your story and photos. I am sure we will see much more in the coming days. Gotta love your paper treasures.
