marmots



Aren't they adorable? these wooden marmots decorate a ski resort's tourist information office in France. Love these pieces and the wood feels so smooth! Forgot to ask what kind it is, though. My boys tease me because they know I can sleep like a marmot, all year 'round!

We were sitting on a chairlift last year over Easter and all of the sudden it seemed like a rock was moving... it was a marmot! there were actually two of them. We tried the same chairlift this time looking for them but they either moved to another spot or they were still sleeping...

  1. They are "almost" as cute as my wooden cats, lol !

    BTW thanks for the Graues Brot, indeed I had two who asked me what it is and one translated it for me into "wheat bread" I corrected it immediately otherwise they will think that I eat mouldy bread with nuts !
