What a great annual event this is that my sister Petra chose to visit: Mut zum Hut, The biggest hat and accessory event in Europe, with vendors from all over the place, fashion shown, entertainments, inspirations and AAAhs and OOOhs, look and this and have you seen thats. So much to see, how did they make that and what in the world were they thinking? Great art, supplies, ideas, all packed into a picturesque castle in Neubirg an der Donau. The show alternates annually and will be held inside the castle in Ingolstadt next year again. Of course I had to buy a hat, a necklace made of paper and some earrings….. Petra, her daughter Stephanie and I spent a whole day there, which required some tea and cake to keep us upright.

So we visited this cute little coffee house right across the castle in Neuburg, that is sooo charming. Right out of a picture book!
