Ramstein Bazaar Sept 2009

Since Tom had to work today, I decided to spend the morning at the Ramstein Bazaar. I’d been told it was the greatest thing since “sliced bread” and it was a huge market. The Bazaar ran from Thursday to Sunday. Thursday and Friday were designated as “stroller” friendly.
On Saturday and Sunday you could bring your children, but you couldn’t take strollers into the buildings. That was nice, as you didn’t have to dodge strollers, but there were still kids.


The Bazaar was OK, but I guess I was expecting more. I arrived about 15 minutes before it opened. There were no waiting lines, and lots of parking. I have been told that it get’s crowded in the afternoon and on Sunday.




There were items from all over Europe. But, they “discouraged” taking photos. So I only got a few shots inside (and they are blurred).
I spent about 2 hours walking around and shopping. I got a few things for Christmas gifts and picked up lunch. Since my best friend “Lucy” in SA was not there to make me eat healthy, I had funnel cakes (with tons of powdered sugar), some cotton candy and a Pepsi for lunch. OK, so it wasn’t healthy, but gee it was good.

Compaired to the "Great" Craft bazaars in SA, this was different as it has a European flare, but the Texas markets have a feeling of fun.

One of the reason I didn’t spend all day at the Bazaar was that it’s not so much fun to shop and look at items if you are alone. I know I sure didn’t want Tom there; he’s no fun to shop with.












And now on the knitting front: I’ve finished the vest and hat I’ve been working on. So here’s proof.
