Things I Love – part 8
Snuggling on the couch with my honey, watching TV.
These are “Diddls”. They’re very popular in Germany and some other European countries. I’m starting to see them pop up here in the U.S., too. Tons of Diddl products available, like stationary, pencils, pens, erasers, greeting cards, post cards, folders, playing cards, plush, collectible figurines (see picture above – they are really small), wallets, key chains, bookmarks, jewelry, etc.

Choose Marketplace from the drop-down menu on the top left and then look for Products on the new page

So cute!!! And now I know what a diddl is……….I knew the spelling didn’t look right (coming from me, lol), now it makes sense that it’s German. Are you gonna start a collection? TFS, I learned my new thing today!

Aren’t they adorable? I already have a small collection, thanks to my friend Heike, and so do the kids. I did buy a few things myself, too, last time we were in Germany (stationary, playing cards, a plush baby diddl for Melissa, and a key chain with my name on it).

Cheryl, that must have gotten lost… it’s not in my spam queue.
Never heard of mookie and mackie, I want to see a picture!!

They are packed away so I am not sure a pic is in the near future. Did you know my moms mom was born in Germany and although my mom was born in the US she spent the first few years of her life in Germany?

No, I didn’t know that! Do you know where?
