German Folkart "Erzgebirgische Volkskunst"
These little fellows called "Blumenkinder" (flower children) are original German folkart (part of a wide collection) carved out of wood from the "Erzgebirge" (Erz-Mountains) you may have heard about this kind of folkart before, it comes from the ex "German Democratic Republic" which isn't exisiting anymore, because we are one nation again, but the folkart from the "Erzgebirge" is still very popular. I like to decorate the flower children in spring time.

Beautiful, Carol! Du kommst auf Ideen!
Al
You have such interesting things to share..
BTW..I have been searching for a paper mache egg to alter..no success yet..but this weekend we will be in a bigger metro area and I hope to find at least one. You and Ulla have me itching to try it!
Such wonderful traditions you have in your country Carol. Its lovely to keep them going.
Okay...you have way to much cool stuff. I think you might be a shopaholic. Where do you store everything. Let me guess...cute little boxes. P.S. Love all you curlyquies!
These are funny! I'm sure the children would like to play with them..or you...
I finally figured out how to comment on blogger so now I can comment at a few more lovely places...one of which is yours. I love all of your beautiful things especially your collages. White tulips and pussy willows...how lovely!
I love the little people. I used to have some rabbits on a seesaw like the ones hiding in the back ground. (sorry to go on about rabbits) I think my aunt must of brought them back from germany once.
I hadn't heard of them before, but they are very sweet. They are definitely a great spring decoration too. Thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad that you all like my little friends too!
Ja Al, Ideen muss man haben! ;-)
Dawn fingers crossed that you'll find some eggs!
