That painting is perfect!
I feel like I was with you there! Thank you for the tour!
Dear Kirsten and joerg, your videos make me so happy..it means a lot to me..thanku❤
Thank you for this beautiful video…..I really enjoyed it, I’m so glad you got the painting of Dancing with the sheep!! It’s suits you two wonderfully and will look great hanging in your home……All the different combinations of fabric and colours and design very interesting. Thank you both for sharing 😊
This video was so enjoyable. As soon as I saw the painting, I thought they have to get it! It’s Kirsten and Joerg!
It was so interesting to see stained glass works, the paintings , photography and their creators. The poetry pharmacy was a work of art in itself. It looked like the two of you really enjoyed this excursion too. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you Joerg and Kirsten for taking us on another delightful tour. In the USA, there is an eccentric artist town in EUREKA SPRINGS, ARKANSAS. There is a church called ThornTree Church… gorgeous!!! This town reminds me of Eureka Springs. I stayed at a very wonderful old Hoteldowntown; it had many many stories. Outside the windows were beautiful black wrought iron work decorative adornments..like a false balcony, french in design. To this day, I quake in my boots thinking of the ornery joke I pulled on my friends who had a room next to mine. I climbed out onto that old iron grating and made my way carefully to my friends window, grabbing holding onto the wrought iron decorative work under their window and climbed into their room to give them a surprise. They nearly dropped their britches. It was so very dangerous as it was many many stories up. I think back on that escapade and shudder….as old as the hotel was, there was no way I could have even known that the bolts holding that decorative wrought iron were even secure. 😱 Love you both!!
It tickled me so that you got the watercolor print. It reminded me so of both of you. Have wonderful summer, and keep dancing with sheep.
Kirsten, I can so relate. I used to have positively perfect vision. But now, it's a struggle. It's harder to read print and everything else just isn't as clear as it used to be. Colors are also duller. The challenges of aging are real lol.
Thank you for sharing these adorable places and links – I was so happy I could order from the Poetry Pharmacy – these will make some great Christmas gifts!!!
I frankly loved joining you for this weekend in Bishop's Castle. Thanks for all of it! (I loved the story of the elephant!)
I was so happy you bought the painting of you two dancing with the sheep! It looks just like you. What a lovely town.
Artists open studio and an NGS garden to wander around, an idyllic way to while away some time! The Poetry Pharmacy was amazing and the painting was lovely, I’m sure you have the perfect place to hang it in your home. The stained glass was awesome, such a talented lady.
I am so happy you got the painting with sheep.
❤
What a beautiful work by photographer Fusek, what a sensitive soul to capture
🙋♀️❤️
Un abbraccio da Milano . Siete bravissimi 🥰💞💞
It’s as if the painter was painting you guys with the sheep❤️💙
Great interview of Mr Fusek you always do so well at interviews 🙂 Lovely B&B and all the arts and crafts 🙂 great amenities in the area I can agree with Joerg 🙂 well done on camera work 🙂 Ms Jones work reminds me of covers of MC Beaton books for Agatha Raisin. The stained glass work was gorgeous 🙂 as was the gardens 🙂 what a great variety of artists and artistic buildings. That painting was twinning you two for sure not surprised you purchased it. Those cards are lovely too.
Another awesome video, always a pleasure!
You know what's funny, when I saw the painting in the thumbnail I though 'oh they got a lovely custom painting', because it really looks like you both 😀 That painting was waiting for you, it was meant to be yours I'm sure!
I'm so glad you bought that painting. It looks like the 2 of you. It's wonderful.
The painting was meant for you guys. I love it! I know it’s going to be gorgeous in your home. Great vlog!
The painting is adorable like you two🤗hoped you would take it home! Truly love these days out and how much you enjoy yourselves. Its a treat to see the creative artisans so thanks for sharing Kirsten and Joerg 😊👋
Des vidéos tellement jolies ❤ merci pour tous ces moments…🙂
I’m so thrilled you purchased “Dancing with Sheep”. I reminds me of you living on the sheep 🐑 out in the country!!!
That is the coolest bookshop!
Thanks a lot for this video. I want to visit Bishop’s Castle but it won’t be easy because I have to use public transport so l like to look at videos of a place before l decide to go there. Bishop’s Castle looks amazing on your video. I can’t wait to go, l just need a sunny day now. 🌞
