fiera dell'artigianato

Every year in december the first week of the month, in Milan there is a special fair: fiera dell'artigianato where you can visit all the world jumping from foods to many other items tipical from each land presented. It is a special appintment before X'Mas that nobody wants to loose and is a way for Momichan to apprend something about many land she has not yet known.

The Fair is divided in stand subdivided into Europe, Asia, Africa, East, America, Messico, Italy (every region) Russia, Hungary, China, Thailand, .....every nation of the worls nearly ... you can walk around and buy whatever you want, from foods to bags, dresses, shoes, pullovers, Christmas decorations, chokolate, music cd, strange gadgets from Australia (boomerangs, last year we had bought the special sign we have attached to the car with a cangaroo and his baby and the indication telling "baby on board") lamps, alcoohlics, salami, ham, katana from Japan, maccha tea, .... every nation has its specialties.

This time just athe entrance, I have found in the French stand a supercute bag of Gaspard et Lisa, two french charchters so famous and wellknown in Japan of which I have some bento stuff. Momichan was so happy about fair, she was sitting on my shoulders shouting and clapping hands, astonished by everything she was seeing. She eated so much, first a big fruit salad (kiwi, strawberries and ananas) then she tasted every salami and chokolate she found ;-) we also bought her some special lollipop, then she eated quite and entire giant pretzel HAHAHA I never saw Momichan tasting so many things and being so curious, I guess because now she has grown up so much, we visit this fair every year in the first week of december and we always buy some souvenir, some food or some ruhm or dress accessories.

One of the special things we love is the French stand because of many patè and cheese, then we visit Germany because of Chapati Design where you can find special sweaters and coats like elph dresses, Spain because of hairy cow bags, Peru with his children coats all decorated and special berrets, Africa with his leather bags, purses, jewels, France with lavender perfumes and soaps, honey and chokolates and many other Nations.
There are places in which you can buy shells (foto) and many selling jewels made various materials: gold and silver but also, straw, shells, wool, bones leather, pearls ....

We have walked and curioused around until 22.00 PM and then we directed to our car to go home with our treasures: a little leather bracelet for Momichan made in Kenya, a ruhm bottle coming from Jamaica for me, some truffle sala mi for Sampei(the salami was aromatised by truffles and the smell was very strong YUM YUM we love it), a special strawberry pink sugar and a Hello Kitty bib with her name sewed on for Momichan, a special butter cake from Italia, a small dose of marmelade, a pair of tiny pearls earrings and a Chapati discounted sweater for me, (as Xmas present) and some bits of cheese and another italian butter cake for granny.

Momichan was tired but so excited she didn't want to go sleep even if once home was really late and till midnight sje pretendet to jump and dance around ! I made her shower and prepared pijama and milk bottle, (see Momichan wearing my new green elph sweater) and put her to bed, she finally fall asleep and we relaxed in front of tv eating our dinner.
I am really tired, walking all day long and running after Momichan is not really relaxing HAHAHA and also try to keep an eye on mummy and Sampei running everywhere so that if just I stopped to look at something in a few second I was lost and could not see them any more HAHAHA.

Goodnight everybody !
