The little church

The little church, Madonna di Campiglio

Walking in the forest

Walking in the forest, Madonna di Campiglio

 mvtouring Says:  Walking in the forest can be a lovely experience, but remember that you must make sure that you have a map, warm clothing and something to drink with you. Also make sure that someone knows that you have gone hiking so that they can look for you in case of emergency.

If you love tablecloths,handtowels, place mats etc with the little Austrian boy/girl designs then this is the place where you will still find it. I thought it went off the market so was extremely pleased to find it here again at very reasonable prices.
