On their way...

What do you do with...
1 braying donkey...
an old howling dog...
 
a yowling scraggly cat...
and a skinny old rooster?
Stack them up...
...to support each other...
...and send them off to seek their fame and fortune!!

O-o-oh-h-h-h The Bremen Town Musicians, how adorable

Wow, your pictures of the trees and other plants are amazing, such a beauty! And the "Bremer Stadtmusikanten" (that´s how they´re called here in Germany) are gorgeous, you´re so talented! In Bremen you can find a statue of them and the people use to touch and rub the feet of the donkey and make a wish at the same time and they believe the wish comes true. I love visiting your blog it´s really special! I´m sorry that my english isn´t the best anymore, but I hope you could understand my comment. Nice Greetings from Germany!

i used to love that story as a child, my grandma had a book of it with the most wonderful illustrations. I do love your characters too, especially the mule

How sweet! I love your little felt critters. What a wonderful idea to make the little animals in the fairytale.
Here is a link to an interesting article by someone who read the Grimm fable as a child...

Kerry, they are so beautiful - each and every animal! You are the best!!

The Grimm Brother made such wonderful fairy tales. I'm so pleased to see how they inspired you to make such a lovely "pyramid of animals"

Thanks, for all your wonderful comments on my blog....and enjoy tour weekend!

Many hugs,
